Good luck and may your hatch be 100%! What breed are you starting with?

Creme Legbars =) Autosexing so can tell sex at a day old. Should make it easier to know who to caponize if I can find anyone here in New Mexico to teach me although funny story.

Since reading the caponizing threads I can tell what sex the store rotisseri chicken are.

Boy we sure talk a lot on this forum!!! Bee, I tried to backtrack on here but I can't find it. What did you say about using Vicks Vapor Rub when one is getting sick?

Two more things:

1. I don't have a pressure canner. Can I use a water bath to can chicken?

2. One of my girls has been limping. She is eating and laying eggs. My husband and I have picked her up to examine her and nothing is broken. The middle toe is starting to curl a bit. The pad on the bottom of her foot is a little swollen, soft, and no scabs. We were thinking Bumble Foot....I don't want to start digging around in there until I am sure. From my pitiful explanations, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!!

How ironic. Residing in the United Arab Emirates or anywhere in that area, maybe that guy should be more worried about changing the practice of circumcising little girls. It is performed without anesthetic, it is cruel and it should be banned by law!

Or the beheadinig of people you don't agree with.....

I found it, Lisa....quoted back on page 1053.....lol. Her is the copy and paste:

The Treatment involves getting your core body temps up for a short while in order to simulate an increase in temperature, which increases white blood cell to the source of infection/inflammation~or so the premise states~and can shorten the life of your cold/URI. Simply put, it's an old timers solution to not having antibiotics or having a viral infection that doesn't respond to such. I've tried it several times when I had the first makings of a cold and it has worked each time to curtail it...if done properly. Most folks don't follow all the steps and then say it doesn't work..my son, for one. He never does it right and so it doesn't work for him, but others who have tried it report favorable results.

Here's the routine. At the first sign of a cold..sore throat, sniffles, cough, etc...and that goes for the symptoms you are currently dealing with as well...fix yourself some hot boullion or hot tea. Run a hot bath...as hot as you can possibly stand it and still sit down in it. Drink the hot drink while you are soaking in the hot bath. This is not a bath for washing, so don't wet the head. When it's as hot as you can stand it, both inside and out, get out and dry off briskly. Slather Vick's to the chest and the soles of your feet. Yes, the soles of your feet. Put on warm socks, and a sweat suit if you have one...whatever extra warm clothes you have, put it on. Go straight to bed and cover up with the warmest blankets you possess. I usually take some cold tablets in this process so that I can sleep through the next part because it's very hard for me to sleep when I'm hot. Stay bundled like that for as long as you can stand it..the hotter the better.

The next day, drink 3 glasses of OJ...you can space that throughout the day. That day you will feel about 50% better than you did the day before..at least, that's been my experience. The day after that, you'll feel about 75% better...drink the OJ that day too. On the third day, you should be feeling almost 100% better than you were...keep drinking the OJ.

I've had this work time and again and it's not all hocus pocus...simulating a fever does much what a fever does for you, it merely activates your natural immune response. The OJ helps with that as well and I've found it works better than taking Vit. C caps...makes your skin lovely as well. The Vicks? The menthol works in some way, not sure what...but when I put it on my feet, I can taste it in my mouth, so there's a systemic effect going on there whatever it is.

Can't hurt to try it and see if it helps even a little bit. It's kept me from experiencing a cold for many years now, so I'm a believer.

...and treating women WORSE than a rented mule AND marrying daughters off (many times to geezers 3X or more their age) in a "business deal" AND having a haram and calling it a normal family AND using rape as a form of punishment ...AND I COULD GO ON. And to worry about some little roosters nuts wanting caponization outlawed because it's sooo cruel, please! LOL How about a "Humane Society" dedicated to women first...?

'Nuff said. I think we have pointed out the hypocrisy......we don't want to get ourselves in trouble do we....

Maybe I can get my meds regulated. hehe Nope, no meds - maybe I just need some...? LOL I asked my doctor one day if I could have something for my nerves because they were shot. He said no and I said every dang body in my family is on a nerve pill except me and the 7 year old grand nephew and I have to put up with all of them!!!!! He had no sympathy, just laughed at me.

Hahahaha@ naked
Good job on both birds!

Since we are showing pics of naked men, (lol) here is a pic of one of my big ol' long legged Australorp roos. He was about 22 weeks. They turned out a little skinny to me.
