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

[kajira]

Okay, y'all ....hang onto your seats.

With all the sickness & injuries running loose around here, I got jealous. I',m one of ya now

Saw a cardiologist last week 'cause, I'd been having some minor twinges in the chest. No pain; more a reminder that something was looking for attention.
He set me up for a cardio catheritization. That never happened; the valve is 99% blocked. I was transported to another hospital; a one in DC.
Open heart surgery scheduled 1st thing Monday

From what I hear, I'm in for a long, hard road ahead in the near future. Stick with me, friends; this might be pretty hairy?

Oh geez, I am so, so sorry. I hope you're okay. Please keep us posted.

Hey all you dairy goat owners @Sally Sunshine @mlm Mike [/@]@kajira @campingshaws @fire370 and the rest.
Yesterday I learned a super way to pasteurize milk with the push of a button. She uses the Instant pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1. It needs to be the 7 because it has a yogurt button. You fill it press the button and it beeps when it is done. No watching and stirring a pot

I ordered one.

I don't pasteurize.

We picked up the chickens from Grandpa's today. They're resting right now so I'll do pictures tomorrow. I'm gonna dose them with ivermectin drops for any surface parasites tonight and give them dewormer in the morning, then everyone gets their biannual antibiotic dose in the water this week while I work on integration.

Congratulations!

Well the duck is on the oven, and I am off to take my horses Lucy out for a ride. It is a beautiful 55 degrees here. bbl

I hope you enjoyed your ride, and the duck!

You will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers.

Pulling for ya Whites. Prayers for a skilled operators hand and safe recovery. My dad had triple bypass when he was 78 he's now 100.

Oh, and here are some pretty photos I took today - Tank and Snape were looking handsome.

Those are some nice colors. Nothing planted here well except skunk. Greenhouse shelves are cleaned off ready for planters and rope light. I'll get them started next weekend.

Eggtopsied. 2 eggs were mouldy, stinky dead, and the other two were just slimy dead. Too decomposed to identify a cause of death... 

They had the cutest multicoloured webs.

Well, I was able to get the second paddock mostly set up for the Eggplant while catching up with my mother on the phone (we always talk during my chicken chores - she is unwillingly learning way too much about keeping chickens!) I still have to tack down the bottom of the fencing with earth staples, but at least it's all laid out and hung in place on the posts, and all the wrestling with the giant roll of fencing is over. I'm beat though, and all scratched up - for some reason most of my weedy stuff has inch-long thorns. It's a Texas thing - yard work is a little like donating blood. (Gloves you say? These thorns LAUGH in the face of gloves.) I need to get the switch over done in the next few days - their current paddock looks like a VERY closely mowed putting green, and I need to get them over before they start digging the roots up.

Oh, and Puppy made a break for it again. I call the second photo, "Puppy on the run".





Having a hot dog, chips, and a beer (Shiner, of course), in honor of the Super Bowl. Not that I'm watching it, of course - I'm watching/listening to Jim Gaffigan specials on Netflix.

If anyone's watching the Super Bowl, please let me know if anything notable happens, so I can have a clue at work tomorrow...

(I think I'm going to take a long hot bath now - I forget who suggested them - mel? But I ordered those bath slats you recommended - they'll be here soon...)
