It might also prevent air from getting to the wounds. Not sure.

what are we talking about?

Who knows?

Mmmm..... Pancakes...

That's another thing- I don't want to seal the punctures up. It goes against everything I've learned about human medical care... If you're not 100% certain the wound is clean, sealing it seems like a very bad idea.

I know. Just messing with you

I appreciate you.

I hope the snow in the northern Rockies keeps up. We're skiing in February.
Right now Steamboat has a 58" base. Copper Mountain only 34"
It takes at least 2 feet and 4 is preferable so there aren't any bare spots.
Hitting rocks on skis is a bummer.

Yes, she's in a small dog crate with deep enough bedding to cushion her leg.

I have. I also sprayed the wound and immediately surrounding area with Betadine.

Yeah, but that'd make a huge mess.

I think you're doing a great job.

You should see the gouges it puts in the bottoms of skis.

Not to mention that it will immediately put the brakes on and usually throw you for a loop.

I explained the entire hatching process to the HVAC guy (to be fair, he asked and he was interested). Including all the details of brood hens, air cells, and humidity....

(I may need help...)

I think this belongs on not only the incubation addicts thread, but the redneck one. I love it.

@ChickenCanoeThe big HRIR breeders day the same type things about crossing lines. Big big frown.

@Chaos18 Definitely Baling twine and Baling wire after all. I already paid for it and it is convenient to grab

Quote: Me too. She'll hopefully start using the leg normally, with time. She may wobble a bit (the duck, not Bubbles), but ducks do that when they walk, anyway.

2 eggs still alive. One has a terrible saddle air cell for some reason tho, which wasn't there at day 7... :/
