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

But you appear to be short of legos,,

Sometimes chicks who get stuck a while in the egg may get crooked toes/feet. There are links for chick podiatry if it happens. She'll need to rest a bit, hope she turns out ok.

Last summer a "mystery chick" that came "free" had a crooked leg and a foot that wanted to ball up. I had to make him a shoe and tape his toes out straight, and braces for his legs to keep them together. The vet thought he had a bone disorder. I gave him away, so I'm not sure how he turned out, but he was able to walk and his foot was almost normal when he left. I think about him sometimes. I hope his condition didn't worsen.

That's great that you already know how to do that - if you tape/treat it really early, it will often have the best chance of going totally back to normal...

Interesting.
Predators are up 3 games to 0 against the Blackhawks.
If the Blues hold on to take the series, they'll face the Predators who they beat during the season.

Blues are down 2-0 after two periods.

I'm in Macon now--originally from Atlanta as well. I love it here--could not imagine being in that crazy big city anymore.

Is it true that hens can hold sperm for one month?
