She left me! Heather left me!

Bad, Heather, bad!

Perhaps it is because I haven't showered in a week.

DAX,
And every one of you who passed along good wishes & prayers; I thank you. To receive such expressions of caring & compassion from a group of folks who, with few exceptions, I've never seen & probably never will, just blows me away.

I'm getting along o.k. for a guy with a 6" incision that wasn't there two weeks ago. Fortunately, it only hurts when I breathe. I'm certainly not accustomed to having to plan my every move in advance. But, this too shall pass.

Again, Thank you all.

Ken

Good morning Ken
My barn building buddy I'm really glad your making good progress. When I asked awhile back about weight limits I was meaning how much you were allowed to lift not how much you could lift.

OK guys, so you said:8 AM, Then 5 PM, then 11 PM and then you said, 6 AM, 2 PM and then 10 PM.I would be able to do four times A day if I hatch, And it's old be chickens, our talking about ducks, I'm not sure if is any different.So, what time Frame on them would be best?6 AM, 2PM, 10 PM or 8 AM, 5 PM 11 PM?Or differnt?Im confused.XD sorry, I just confused easily.

When I hand turn eggs I do it when ever I remember at least one hour apart so if it is a weekend it could be 9 times and if I am at work 3 -5 times. But I don't count (life is too short and too many other things to stress about). Just make sure the eggs are orientated differently at night after last turn than the previous night. I don't think a broody hen counts turns.

Also turning is more important for the first 2 weeks. Often is better.

Yes, that could do it.

Good morning everyone! 

Sally's temperature is back to normal, and blood pressure is ok. She should be going home today.

  They don't have the results back from Harmony's tests from Thursday evening. So no change as of now.

Good to hear Mike thanks.
