Glad to hear Luke is home. Poor little guy. That is a lot for a little man to deal with. Hope you both can get some better rest now that you are home. Will be keeping you and Luke in my thoughts and prayers.

cute chickies, but wow 3 days early? Could you have counted wrong? or was the bator a little warmer than normal? I've hear slightly higher temps will hatch out early....

Sorry for the rough time you have been having Sally!

Been a rough week for us, ALOT worse than no electric the week before that.

Lucas is home from the hospital FINALLY!

He had a very very hard time with this stomach bacteria, then on top of it all the hospital staff OverDosed his medication and he ended up in rolling around screaming pain for an entire night on top of the already being so ill... the little man already only weighed 36 lbs and now he is way down. I cant talk much about the hospital issue, but after little lucase suffered allergic reactions with no "sorry" and no copies of any reports as requested we had to contact an attorney... your welcom to pm me if you wish on the subject.

I am a bit overwhelmed, ok alot overwhelmed.... this is a paste..... (easier than typing all over)

Lil Lucas is home doing good, just having reaction issues to the overdose. But bendryl seems to be working.

He and I are extremely happy to be home! However the homefront is very overwhelming right now, trying to cope with two weeks missed work, 7 very big, very routy and very poopy puppies, tons of chickens and coops to clean, a week of not cleaning the house, having to wash all bedding and sterilize, bath dogs

and on top of it all, ............ the chickens in Harmonys bator have already started to hatch and its only day 18, Not what I needed to deal with at the moment. I did ok, with only three breakdowns today and Thank God for my older son and his girl coming to help with all the puppies bathing, nail clipping, and helping to run them for shots! noooo idea how much I needed them.... I still havent gotten the house vacummed and up to par as I have been having medical issues myself, but I will get there one thing at a time.... Thanks for all the well wishes....

why would the chickens start hatching already??????? uggggg I still have the eggs from my cheap bator in with Harmonys eggs!! we didnt get to weigh them or anything! No candling, I just threw water in and shut them down, one is already out of the shell!!!

to be honest I was really wondering if any would make it without the electric for a week!!! and in the new homemade bator no less!!!
I will update tomorrow, but we were trying to keep the temp a steady 100 degrees and I had four thermometers in there, so it wasnt too hot at any time either.... the humidity was running in the 30's almost the entire time as it was next to the coal stove. ANOTHER MAIN concern is that those eggs had rarely been turned all week since I was in the hospital with Lucas!!! I went to turn them and there where peeping and holes!!!!!! I almost screamed, I was like OMG no way, not on top of all this, hatching NOW, like RIGHT NOW and they will be shrink wrapped and I am so tired I cant stay up with them all night!!!!

GO FIGURE!!!! test me test me
