EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Chaos18]

Guineas don't need a house.  They prefer to live on the streets, sell drugs and mug passerbys. If they want a house they will just kick someone else out of theirs.

And with the local PD being so close by I can't help but wonder how many would end up in jail.

I had a bit of a rant on the American Serama thread

I for sure am far away from perfection but it does breeds so much disservice when people throw out "big" names and pretend to know what the are talking about while bashing others-especially when there is so much divide and so many politics in the serama community as a whole.

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

Quote: Thanks! Not debilitating, but effects have lingered. I didn't get moving until about 10:00am (having gotten up at 5:30) - and then it was really just that, like it or not, there were things that needed to get done. I got the most important stuff done (bread baked, finished the fourth brooder and set up with bedding, and watered the citrus in pots and now crossing fingers to see if any of them will come back after the deep freeze we had, now that it's spring). I have a long list of things still to do, but may shut my eyes for a little bit and see if I feel better.

GOOD MORNING! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN EXCELLENT DAY!

Thanks, MC!!!! I needed that this morning. (Well, ok, I need it EVERY morning...)

This was sons attempt to drive down for work yesterday. Four hour wait to get through the water. 20 mile back up with many accidents from folks that thought they could get through faster by driving the shoulder. He turned around and went back home.




Water is from Oroville dam release due to the spillway problems. Several towns weren't as lucky as the one I work in. More rain on the way.

Wow - yikes. Stay safe!

Quote: I'm glad it's resolved. I second the recommendation about a generator - in Texas, there's a day they have where you can buy certain disaster preparedness items tax free (it's April 22-24 this year). That's when I got mine, as that really helped with the cost. There's no limit, and it covers everything from batteries up to generators. From the Texas comptroller website, what's covered:
These emergency preparation supplies qualify for tax exemption if purchased for a price:

• Less than $3000
  • Portable generators
• Less than $300
  • Hurricane shutters
  • Emergency ladders
• Less than $75
  • Batteries, single or multipack (AAA cell, AA cell, C cell, D cell, 6 volt or 9 volt)
  • First aid kits
  • Fuel containers
  • Ground anchor systems and tie-down kits
  • Hatchets
  • Axes
  • Mobile telephone batteries and mobile telephone chargers
  • Nonelectric coolers and ice chests for food storage
  • Nonelectric can openers
  • Portable self-powered light sources (hand cranked flashlights)
  • Portable self-powered radios, including two-way and weather band radios
  • Reusable and artificial ice products
  • Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors
  • Tarps and other plastic sheeting
• (If not, maybe store some water since you're on a well?)

Quote: Duly noted! Surgeon told me I'd be back to digging ditches if I wanted. Didn't bother to tell him I've never wanted to dig a ditch. He claims to have done 11k+ of this same operation. Don't know that he counts too well, but I hope he's as good as he thinks he is.
Maybe you can get a special note form the doctor to get out of digging another ditch EVER? Could come in handy...

Hi all!

Couple beautiful days here so took advantage of them as much as i could (maybe a little too much because I am taking it easy today out of necessity

) So I will enjoy the 300 post read back after lunch!

Let me know if I missed anything important or exciting I need to know right off the bat

Guineas don't need a house. They prefer to live on the streets, sell drugs and mug passerbys. If they want a house they will just kick someone else out of theirs.

I completely believe this is true.

I heard from Sally, she is on her way home. She knows she has along ways to go yet, but going home is a big step.

That's wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for keeping us up to date.

OK, well, like it or not, I still need to wash out all the chicken waterers, break down some cardboard, and take the recycling to the street. (Tempted to nap beforehand...)

Cardboard makes a great weed barrier and it's earthworm candy.
