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

[meltel]

Bummer. Hope that stops soon. Are they that special that you need to keep them?

The one roo was a "gift" and quite funny when he tries to "attack"

The other is protected by my husband because he has saved my flock twice from a complete predator wipeout-including my seramas in my garage by a neighbors stray dog so I argue but give in....

He usually has left me alone when the other is being pesky but they decided to do a "tag team" attack today

I have 1 roo and 2 hens from MPC-they are called super blue egg layers. they are supposedly AM X legbar that are said to produce a wealth of true light blue eggs. I paid about $20 a chick from them last year. while as they were flighty at first and white which I don't love in a free range environment, they have grown into their own and proven to be true to their description as far as laying a beautiful blue egg daily for me and have actualy been one of my more friendly birds-especially the roo!!! I'm sure Ralphies are a bit different and better quality but I am wondering if they are the same concept.

No, the ones I have are not crosses, they are true legbars. They have a recessive white gene that came into the country in a few when GGF imported them. IT took several years for 2 birds with the recessive white to mate and male the white legbars.. They are just so cool,, I have about a million pictures of them..LUCKY YOU!!

Usually one a day, two depending on mood. Nobody's said anything about it, & it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow since they cut on me. I never had a heart attack, if that makes a difference.

Caffeine is linked to arrythmias and considered a stimulant and variable when it comes to heart rate. We do not allow our cardiac patients to even have decaf due to traces of caffeine-especially prior to testing. I can not tell you how many BP's and heart rates went up to that and not being able to go out for a smoke

we have "brown outs" every summer-when everybody is running their air at the same time on hot days (90 plus

) Hope it's just a fluke and you get it back soon

Sure hope Abi never ends up in the cardiac wing

Our brown out was yesterday, they fixed it - but this time, a major storm hit. BIIIIIIIIg storm they didn't know was going to hit. LOL

But that does not help sleep tonight. I wish I had a better answer for you but I would rather say I didn't know than to be wrong and screw you up

and if she does I pray I am not her nurse
