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

[mlm Mike]

They are so cute!!!!! I assume they all think they're goats?



That's nothing - how about an irritable Naked Neck broody - it's like opening the egg door and looking into the face of a dinosaur (complete with sound effects)!

I did! More to do, always more to do, but glad this got done, as the 15 "resting" chickens were taking up all the space in my fridge...

Ok, she's kind of cute.

They were wrong about the distance meaning it is totally random.

Well, fine. Something has to be random to start it. But everything after makes sense, unlike your weird 12 inches to a foot thingy.

I do yoga in bed. I can't help it. I'm a horrible bedrest patient. I spent 6 weeks on hospital bed rest with my older DD. Statistically, unless you have an incompetent cervix where the wait of the baby will dilate you, bedrest is not proven to fix outcomes for pregnancy, and the bedrest does hurt the muscles [/QUOTE]

Yep, dialated on bed rest, didn't while off. Grateful for no cerclage. I begin early cervical change by 35 wks. I just had to hold on 25-35 wks. I fought the terbutaline . She was still 3 wks late. Good Luck!

Nope, you loose base 10 and your done. Personally, I do most my math in base 2.

Inches are a weird way of measuring, they were based off the width of a man's thumb... Which isn't always the same. The metre is one-ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole---now that's logical.

When measuring a horse, why is a hand 4"? Why not 3.75"?

Because 3.75 is a pain to multiply in our heads.

Interesting, no metric system for horse measurements?

Nope. We get use to the weird, because nobody knows what you're talking about if you measure horses in centimetres.
