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

There is no way I can do readback-it would take me ages! Can I get the cliff notes version of anything special/exciting/different/good or bad news thats going on with anybody?

Everyone's been pretty busy with the summer so far, it's been pretty quiet.

We found out we are most likely (successfully) pregnant, and it might be multiples.

Hi Mel! How are things going? I can't help with the read back I've been gone for a bout a week.

That's the bad news... I feel bad telling you now, when you have enough sad stuff already....

She was declining quickly. Clearly in pain, it was time... Splinting wasn't helping.

I had her put down.

I'm sorry. I tried.

Don't be sorry-I am proud of you for how well you cared for her and knew when it was time I am so sorry for your loss -my heart breaks for you. I felt a special connection to her and I am sad but glad she is not suffering

Hi Mike Things are rough. But I am fighting for good treatment-unfortunately losing because of workmans comp. Their Dr did confirm an official diagnosis of RSD/CRPS . I have an appoinment Tuesday hopefully to get the ok for nerve blocks and to restart PT & OT which I desperately need.

Sorry things are still rough. I hope they ok the needed treatment.

BTW, did you say you had a scan on the 27th? I could go with you on the 27th if you need the company. Just not the 30th...

I swear, the worst thing in the world is to be injured in either an accident or at work. With all the drama, there are so many barriers to getting the right treatment because everyone wants to say "not it" when it comes to responsibility... Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE system...

Well, first day of vacation here (though I had an interview in the morning). I was actually quite productive - got a lot of yard work done throughout the day. Turned out that it got up to 100F, so while I was generally ok, I had to stop around 5PM. Banti, re: temps - always so interesting to see. I was sitting outside watching everyone when it had hit 100F (I had given them fresh cool water an hour to two before that). Not in crisis, but panting and unhappy or dug down into the bedding or under deep shade structures to keep cool. I stayed outside in my hammock chair to watch them. When it had gotten down to about 97F (around 7pm), I felt like it was downright COOL compared to earlier, and the chickens were acting that way as well - like "97F? Oh, that's NOTHING!". So it's all about adaptation...

That being said, updated forecast is 103F for tomorrow, so I'm glad I'm on vacation so I can swap out their water for cool water as needed and spray the ground as well.

And for a little context... Last night I was going through unanswered threads, and there was one from a person in Chandler, Arizona. First post on BYC and a sad one - lost two 11 month old pullets to heat. It was 123F. I really need to stop complaining NOW...
