I have lots of land and all my birds are nestled on 1/2 acre because I am not carrying water to the back 40. My birds could free range for miles and rarely get over 50 feet from the coop. Guess they have everything they need close to home. Although I do plan on building a large chicken tractor on a hay wagon with 55 or 110 gallon water storage/rain barrels. I have areas of pasture with old cannery grass the beef don't eat off. Mostly because the beef have 50 acres of pasture so they can be picky. I am hoping if the chickens clear the old out the beef will like the new.

I don't know. Think I have enough thermometers?

Why do I feel like I'm in the wrong part of town?

Fertility apt went good. We start meds tonight, I go back monday for labs. Got the insurance crap figured out, and it's a 55 dollar copay for trigger shot, and 55 copay for the injectable meds (of any dosage per month... so I may switch entirely to injectable cycles after this. I'm going ot talk to him about options next monday if this cycle doesn't work out.) Out of pocket expense for femera is 257 because insurance won't cover my dosage of oral meds, because their protocol for insurance is 2.5 and I have to take 10mg for 3 days and 12.5 for 2 days to get my ovaries to produce an egg. :/  Insurance says it's WAY out of the norm so they won't cover it. Blah. the poopers.


BUT if everything goes well - we will hopefully trigger in 10 days roughly give or take a couple of days, and in 3-4 weeks maybe i'll get to make a big announcement.

. X100 Here's to a pregnancy and a healthy one at that. Children are a blessing so I am praying you are blessed.

OK, really heading back out to work on lumber again now. 

Be safe and productive. Too bad I can't send you the coop that is not in use here.

Are they calibrated or are you doing a Blooie ?

 

[BantyChooks]

Are the calibrated

All of 'em

Digital is one degree low, but the rest are spot on.

 

[BantyChooks]

Nope!!
Oh man, poor Blooie had the worst luck.... Didn't know it was possible for that many thermometers to be off by such a wide range...
