Jest Another Day in Pear-A-Dice - Higgins Rat Ranch Conservation Farm in Alberta

Hi Tara, coming from La where hot summer is 8 months. I have 2 different sets of eggs coming in 2 weeks and my DR wants me to see an Orthopedic surgeon to have my right knee replaced. Hate that. I have too many things going on right now. I have a small batch of 3 week olders in the storeroom (non insulated) and even with the A/C on it was 110 degrees inside. Kept running ice out to them. I have the fixins' to make a 5 gallon air cooler. I hope it will make a difference. I found it on youtube. I ordered a dozen Horstman and Urlch SG Dorkings. Couldn't turn down the chance. I had received 15 White Plymouth Rocks but all were scrambled. I reported back to the shipper and he is replacing them tomorrow. I need more space!!!!

Other than the knee, I'm a very happy camper. In fact this is the happiest I've ever been. I'm 67 by the way.

Take it easy there Linda. Your doctor is your advisor, not your dictator. If you don't feel you want your knee done now, then put it off til winter when you'll be somewhat laid up anyway.

We have been busy going back and forth to Nashville. Maddy has to have another surgery on the 29th. Scans found gaps where the bone still has not fused. I'll try and keep you all updated...but on the OF thread. I don't want to hijack Tara's.

Sending prayers that the doctors will fix Maddy's bone and that it will heal properly!

x2 that's right you can just tell your doctor it does not fit in your schedule right now.

Thanks chickadoodles and Lacy Blue Those are perfect answers. I'm not going to be rushed into anything. Too much to do. And by winter down here that'll be almost December.

Good luck with sweet Maddy! Prayers sent up for her, and you!

X10 on loving Fixins and the stump chicken! I just want to scratch Miss Fixins belly so bad! And I wish you lived closer to me so I could buy some of your baby ducklings and chicks! It would be so cool to me to have some Higgins Rat Ranch babies!
