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

[meltel]

Mel - and doctor updates?

Yeah Kaj, dr wont do surgery no because he acknowledges something is "wrong" but he doesn't know what it is.....

Insurance and comp didn't like that answer so now I am going for an independent medical eval by their comp dr's. I have retained lawyers now to get me the care and healing time I need. sad it had to go to this but I have done everything every dr has said and it is worse. But I am more calm inside speaking to the lawyers-they are confident I will get the care I need.

Bad day for fruit here. Any that survived the last few nights are surely gone now.
It is 16F out there now.

I'm not holding out much hope for most of it. The apricot bloomed weeks ago and the fruit was growing. Green fruit in apricots are 90% killed at 25F so they are lost.
My peaches are in full bloom as are the plums. The apples and pear buds are swollen and about to open.
Peaches in full bloom are lost at 24F and plums are killed at 23F so both of those are gone too.
Pears at first white are killed at 19F so some may survive.
Apples at the stage mine are, are killed at 15F so they should make it.
Everything was a month or more ahead of normal.

Ugh. Hate that. My apples are on their way. I still have some more that need to be planted (yes, I was supposed to do that a while ago). Hoping I don't lose fruit on them.

Looks to be a good year for figs and loquats.

Quote: I've started planning my hatches so I'm not around to obsess about it or be faced with having to restrain myself from messing with them. I've helped out chicks having a hard time hatching, only to have to cull them later, and it broke my heart. I no longer help.

I need goats. But before that, I need the time to take care of goats. Might be a while...

I think that is a very reasonable response, Mike. Good boy. Would you like a lollipop?

Did you get them from ChicKat? Nice looking - I should contact her (as if I need more chickens). My Dumbledore was a soup pot rescue from her flocks (he has a crooked comb).

I miss you guys! I'm home with a cold so I get to say Hello. Usually most of you are asleep while I'm lurking around at night.

Hey!!!!

Anyone have a time machine i can borrow?

But I need it back this weekend - I have to round up the cats for a vet visit and I think it'll take a while.

Hello all

So glad - thought it might give you a chuckle.

Hope it's still yummy.

40 mph winds.....wildly drifting snow.....sub-zero wind chill factor....sounds like a good night for kidding if I had any prego does NOT

this was yesterday am before another 10" no clue what the total was, I didnt tread outside one step

OMG...

All 4 chicks are alive, still - for now. I got their beaks/heads out of the shell and left them in there. If they can't get the rest of themselves out of the shell (one was pipped upside down and through a vein, so it may be a goner anyways) then they don't deserve to live. ^.^ I at least made sure they weren't tsuck to a shrink wrapped skin- but left the rest up to them.

Please keep us updated, you've been suffering for so long, it's just not right they are making you go through this.

God has a plan.. Not sure what it is but I am praying every day to accept what it is and pray for healing

Good night! I'll be heading to bed soon as well. I seem to be really needing to catch up on sleep lately. I've been getting into bed early and then watching an episode or two of The Red Green Show on my iPad before bed.
