It got all good birds..No Mutts. 2 appletinis the rest were potential showbirds. But thats about all I have left showbirds and a few EE.

What's an appletini?

Just make sure you only type after the "

" - it's HTML code for the end of the quote box. I know a little bit (not much) of HTML code, but I still honestly find the coded text when using quotes in the reply box a GIANT pain...[/QUOTE]
Yes it is!!

Someone was mentioning air cells... just for some hope. I have bantam Cochin in lockdown since yesterday from Laurel Meadows who sent me a full dozen of fertile eggs! One i lost due to an air cell being on the small side (just barely smaller ) and I set it with the air cell down, since I didn't see some air cells at the time of set. After I realized that veins covered the top of the egg & the egg was upside down, I flipped it. It had a blood ring within a couple days. So I have 11 eggs left. This is the only detached air cell. It's the second egg to externally pip & first to begin zipping!

I've had twins before, at 24w1d. One died at 3 weeks old. I couldn't convince my doctor to give me progesterone, (even though I had an angry uterus and needed it with my singletons.) because it was "contraindicated in multiple pregnancy"


Don't really care what *studies* show - my body needs it, so i'll be fighting tooth and nail to get progesterone support this pregnancy.

I hear ya!

Wish I'd got more done today but sit in the a c and go to the Dr. I got some kind of allergic reaction to something unknown and got a super itchy rash on arms face and nether regions lol ugh. Been miserable the last couple days. Can't be outside too long cause the heat flares it up.. That's torture for me! I wanna be outside!they give me steroids so probably won't be able to sleep. Who wants to stay up with me half the night????

TMI...



WAY TMI!!

Ugh. Benadryl? Works on itching if you can take it, and at least for me, also knocks me out.

What's an appletini?

Edit to express sympathy for losses.

I think it has to do with my cheap tablet I'm using. The reply box is smaller than it is on my phone! It does weird things to me.
