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

Hey guys just checking in... Had my Dr. apt this am. waiting for 1 hr 45 min-he was in and out. He was a jerk so really don't want to talk about it.   Will be off work for awhile still and another 4 weeks of therapy until he decides to think about a second surgery.... A glass of wine is in order tonight    Thanks to everybody who messaged me the well wishes and checked up on me. At least the birds behaved and all went in their coops in an orderly fashion tonight 

Maybe if the first surgery was not successful the likely hood of the second being any better may be limited.
Sometimes for some people surgery is not the best answer.

Not much of a kale fan but loves me some fresh collard greens.

I totally get that. and from what Ive been reading if you have to have the second surgery recover is not as good. but it is due to a congenital anomaly of having a longer ulna like me. I am hoping that because my recovery was delayed because of the food poisoning, I can at least go back to 50% and eliminate some of the pain. But surgeons like statistics... I'm not good for those right now

Here is a picture of Snowflake, She is a late (June) hatch, she is moving tomorrow to her new home. She was not happy when I informed her late this afternoon of the move..... She was not happy with the move indoors either.

Love Snowflake!!!

I wanted to say thank you for all the information on ice chest incubator building... I finally built my fancy bator (call it that because I bought mine especially for this)...so here goes... it's a party chest, came with its own stand... I added a bathroom light fixture (siliconed up inside), an LED light strip for lock down to give chicks a constant light, and for me peaking in randomly(adjustable brightness), a peep window, a vent hole or two, grated flooring and a very sensitive controller that I'm still trying to figure out how to get it not to alert every time it turns on lol...

Me too!!!!! Grew up eating them - I even have some really nice pork belly in the freezer if you like them that style. I even grew up drinking the pot licker as well (yum!!!)

But I've gotten enamored with this Kashmiri version by Madhur Jaffrey. Amazing!!!

I massage mine with salt, olive oil, garlic and anchovies. AMAZING!!!!

I'm considering making this one my new avatar - what do you guys think?
