Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[ozexpat]

What breed is Chickadee, is that a Brahma?? My Chickadee is a Mille Fleur D'Uccle, my fav little hen

Have you tried to give your DH some Gatorade or Powerade? Maybe he is dehydrated? Also, I use anti inflammatories for my headaches-Naproxen- Hope Hope Hope he gets rid of that!!!!

I get HORRIBLE migraines, I can sympathize. For some reason the only thing I have found that helps me when migraine is a bottle of Vanilla Frappuccino. I have tried coffee before, but comes back up. Caffeine helps to dilate the blood vessels in the brain and allows better blood flow and thus more oxygen to the brain. But can further dehydrate, if that is the case.
OZ- is that correct?

Caffeine causes vasoconstriction. It is the ingredient in excedrin that makes it a good headache pill as many headaches are from vasodilation. Headaches that are persistent must be evaluated by a doc. There are lots of causes - some very serious.

Many people drink buckets of coffee at work then don't have any on the weekend and end up with a withdrawal headache. It happens to me too.

Even though the brain is only a few pounds, it uses 20% of all the body's energy requirements - so sometimes a sugar drink can help - the Frappuccino will give you both the sugar and the caffeine.

Dehydration can cause headaches as well.

I know you all incubate chickens but when you lockdown on day 18, so it's 4 days before hatch? So if my duck eggs are due on the 15th then would I put them in lockdown today the 12th or tomorrow the 13th?

I do my duck eggs three days so id say today ...

yw!! and yeah i have had a cup full of rotten luck lately but .. just keep going ... things will one day be way better and more settled !!

I know silver...Thanks....I never give up!! Will be settled soon, no choice about it. Just every time I try to befriend anyone (in person) I end up getting stabbed with the short end of the proverbial stick, and just need some extra iron at this point, you know, to rebuild cells from blood loss.

I know every one has been through what I am talking about.

I just don't want to become the kind of person who is hateful towards the world in the end....just not me at all

Quote: Exactly why i asked, wasnt sure on the dilation or constriction- Thanks!!
ETA: OK, now I know why the frappuccino helps. When i have Migraine, that is the only thing I can keep in my stomach, any kind of pill or anything else at all comes right back up.....dry heaves, the Frap stops it cold!!!

DH has had a headache for about 3 days now and nothing is touching it at all My brahmas are growing so fast lol and i have a nn abd mysetery chick that escape and get in the brooder with the bantam babies or sit atop their brooder chicadee and tuxedo on top of their brooder ... i have to clean the top and inside today for some reason lol My eggs in the bator are staying at 101.8 still and look good .. gonna candle tonight ... thinking if their is no growth in the duck eggs ( i know they take longer) i am gonna pull them so i dont risk exploding big eggs splashing onto little eggs and making a mess and growing bacteria ....

Mint will help headaches also, when inhaled. Never tried though. I go straight for the caffine.

Grading Eggs

Before being sold in Colorado, all eggs shall be graded into Colorado consumer grades and weight classes which are based on USDA standards of quality. The grade of an egg is a guarantee of quality, AA being the highest. The grade is most easily determined by candling to gauge the size of the air cell in the large end of the egg. Go to the USDA Poultry Programs Homepage to learn more.​

Hi Sally- hope you are feeling better.....ducking out again for Noelle to use puter

That's my name too! Spelled the same way so I wouldn't be called Noel (boy sounded version) is why my mom spelled it Noelle. She named me that because I was born 5 days before Christmas and we are French. Is that your daughter? I've only known one other person in my life withe the same spelling.
