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

You aren't learning it in school?

This is easier than explaining it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing

Helps cut down on misspellings because you aren't trying to think how to spell stuff and type quickly at the same time. Obviously, it won't help a root trouble with spelling words, but because it uses muscle memory instead of active thought it's a great help with keeping up with these crazies.

I thought that was just called typing. :confused:

Ducks are in lockdown, 5 left that aren't 'sploded. The one with the decent CAM looks like its bill is pushing against the membrane, so maybe I'll get one!! :fl

Also, I have more ducklings coming soon. I reserved them last year and the very day I figured they had forgotten about the order & gotten some from the feed store, guess what? They replied saying they were ready for pickup. :rolleyes:

Good luck! :fl

I never thought I'd see the day I'd actually say Belgium is hot, but here we are. It's 82 F, which isn't so bad but the humidity! And it's only set to be hotter tomorrow and Sunday!

Sounds about perfect!

Update!

I posted about the eggs that lost too much weight. Well 3 have hatched so thats good news! Have 2 that are currently pipped. The second one to hatch was the one with the worst saddle air cell. Maybe she was cramped and ready to leave. Lol!

...waiting game on the rest...

Congratulations, and good luck with the rest!

View attachment 1019294 :th:th:thGot a little read back done-started off on a good note-slept halfway decent. Fed the Seramas and went to lunch with the hubby. Did more read back and took a nap. Hand flared up again. Drs tech called back yesterday. Told him how bad pain was and Tylenol 3 didn't work, Vicodin keeps me wide awake and asked for something for pain. Calls me back when phones were shut off. Asked me if ultram worked I said no-what was first prescribed and then he said the Drs second suggestion was ultracet. Told him I would try it and thanked him. Found out its 2/3 strength of ultram with a 325 mg Tylenol!!!! :hit:mad: Didn't even pick it up because I have ultram and Tylenol here. I don't do well with natcotics-this is nerve pain and they don't help. I was hoping he would increase my neurontin and add a muscle relaxer to help the vasospasm. :he :barnie Thanks for all the well wishes. @Akrnaf2 i don't have a prescription for medical marijuana- I know several people who do for different diseases and they swear by it. Im not a smoker but I have had people tell me about edibles and oils. I would go get a script and try it if I didn't think it would jeopardize my workmans comp. they are denying everything including the pain management nerve blocks ordered by my dr. My friends and some of my family have been awesome-even offering to send me to Florida to a RSD specialty clinic for treatment but I refuse to accept the help because this burden should not be on them. Just praying to get through this independent medical eval-2nd one in 2 months.:thi just want to get better. This was my hand an hour or so ago-turned blue-scars on fire and arm red and mottled. Thanks for your continued prayers:hugs it means a lot to have your support:love

Why are they denying stuff, it seems obvious there is an issue. :barnie

One of the teachers at my kids' school hatched these ducks. Any idea what breed they might be?

Hello Abi! :frow

Happy morning to all. Going out to feed the birds and check for more chicks. Hatch mania around here. Turning the cabinet off for a few months to see what i have grown out (might have to sneak some of the champs eggs and my new birds eggs in a smaller bator...just to check fertility you know) :cool:;):oops: Bill is out doing "manly" things... aka buying a new lawnmower. I picked it out though :p Trying to stay positive and hoping for a good day :hugs

Hello Mel! :frow

Congrats!! what breed?

Well that was interesting. I got home after getting t posts, thought I'd rest my eyes, and :::poof::: I was out like a light for 3 hours! Got up to gather eggs, and feel half drunk with sleep. :thUnder the circumstances, I'm not going to prep for culling tomorrow - I'll just have to do it on Sunday and/or Monday instead.

I think I'll go lay down again. I'm wiped. (Soooooooglad it's the weekend!)
:hugs :hugs

They're high on my list if I ever get ducks. (Barely holding it together with chickens at the moment, so that might be a while....)
i had one she was the sweetest girls ever, until the bear ate her

So, I WAS going to go to sleep early. But I browsed a little on BYC first. And found this thread - OMG, it's completely riveting!!!! I know Liz and Kathy were over there, but has anyone followed this? Esp. @BantyChooks

I have no idea what I am doing

I was almost in tears by the end. That wonderful, wonderful man...
