@Sally Sunshine I'm ok. Bill is home for a couple nights relaxing and playing his new xbox lol. so nice and peaceful. hand is another story.

Love the new pups!!! @Fire Ant Farm I incubated my marans eggs. they did much better at a lower humidity. I dont weigh them or anything like that but when my humidity was 25% versus 35%, my hatch rate was 75% on the lower humidity and 25% on the higher humidity...

ps the brinsea candler for dark eggs is nice but no different on those dark eggs-not worth the extra money

@BantyChooks I really hope she pulls through

You didn't happen to get weights on your marans eggs to see % loss, did you? I've had these around 32% and some have already lost lots. Pretty sure my scale is very accurate... Wondering if % weight loss is different for different eggs. (Or, it could be back to my marans girls still getting their laying apparatus in order (they are pullets, though they have been laying a couple months)).

Golly, should I just leave it all alone and just see what happens?

Edit to add: I'm sorry your hand isn't getting better. That sux.

oh no, what up, not healing well>? I am so sorry

no I got food poisoning really bad the saturday after surgery and it put me 2 weeks behind in therapy. I am still having the problem where it swells at the end of the day and turns weird colors... it really hurts to the point I cant sleep and pain pills keep me up. I see the doc on 1/3-it is what it is....

I saw that you have c spine issues with your back-thats tough stuff! I have the lower back issues everyone my age has- i cant imagine having anything higher. Hope they can fix you or find you some relief!

Quote: oh man Mel, that really sucks I am sorry. are you taking meds? I prol dont need to ask you if meds could cause the swelling. How is it wrapped? I dont need to help with this I know, its the mommy in me I guess. What did you eat that was bad? Yes I have degenerative disc disease from C2 thru C7 and misalinement because the cushions are spent, and I have two that head too far into spinal cord area when I put my head to my chest and I have bone spurs on C3 all the way down to C7. Imma mess Mel, I have endured my share trust me. I dont want the entire thing fused at my age for sure, so we are trying to figure out the best ones to fuse for the most comfort. I refuse to have the entire thing done, I just cant without trying a few at first. I know they have to fix the slipped but still. ugggg
