So excited, my Celadon egg layers are hatching! I forgot to plug in the Turner when I set the eggs, discovered it much later, but they are hatching anyway!!!

Tense night here last night. Over the past couple of years our golden retriever , Dani, has had a couple of spells of extreme lethargy and apparent pain generally following periods of stress. Twice about 24 hours after grooming, and yesterday after freaking over Wednesday thunder storms. Last night was bad, and frankly I was concerned. We had an appointment for 10 AM, but today she is 85 % normal. She's 12, and with goldens there is always the concern of cancer. Canceled today's appointment and we will take her in next week for an extensive work up to see if we can define the problem. Vet is a friend, and I have his cell #. He told me that he is not going anywhere this holiday weekend and that I should call if she has any problems.

Sorry to hear Dani is having problems Sour...sending good wishes her (and your) way

Morning! SUNNY, however there seems to be a 60 mph wind out there, so our snow is moving around and it is not particularly warm either.
I am brewing another pot of HOT coffee!
Yay on the chicks and Sour's dog feeling better, fingers crossed for her.
I hope you all have a great day

Good mornin y’all. Been up since 4 and have I been busy! Pig gate fell over with the storms last night and it was a pain to pull back up. Miss Piggy Sue likes being out with the chickens it seems. Also had to fix our dock on the lake. Getting the DB at 12 to pick him up/go eat/snoop on what’s wrong.

Thank you.

I don't know how helpful it will be, but the history is interesting. Researching the article debunked a lot of myth floating around chicken land.

Such a strange disease (as are all herpes viruses) - some folks lose one bird here and there; some folks lose a flock. Crazy.

Yes, I'm reading it now. I'll tell you, I've learned a lot about the myths and realities of chicken keeping just lately. It can be brutal.

I think Roomy tagged you for me, I really appreciate that you took the time to post the link.

Nice article. I like how it is laid out so it is understandable to even the newest of newbies.
If a body can read they'll learn something like it or not.

@room onthebroom - here's the article I wrote

Oh I knew when I saw the fella making sand castles you'd be around post haste.
Good morning to you my friend.

I predict that the thread will be closed soon! What a hoot!
