Yeah - I had to have a new unit - the thing that sits outside the house. Don't ask, just don't ask!Making a new batch and drinking a previous batch
If it's under a grand I'll repair it, if they recommend a new unit I'll have to wait. I'll search for another window unit and tough it out for now. Currently using a portable in the bedroom and a window unit for the dining room and kitchen. A third unit would be for the living room.
Over 5 grand I imagine
Yes this is great! Gucci's legs still aren't moving right, but it's clear she has much better coordination and strength! Although at first after she joins she is basically dust bathing by association and really just playing dead (napping) while snuggled with Glynda and Lady Featherington, at around 7:48 she is really making concerted dust bathing moves. She sure is kicking and ruffling!
Well over.
I understand and I explained to Lety that a whole unit swap out could run 10 grand
Thank you for this. You rightly predicted this would calm me down. I found the study and if I take outbreaks as the data point (rather than individual chickens) then the within 2 standard deviations takes me to 26 days. The end point in the study is however a bit unclear so if I use reduced egg production as a proxy for 'unwellness' then the 2 standard deviation point is 34 days (excluding an outlier of 42 days).
@RoyalChick : you are good with research, see if you can find the study. A 'mean' doesn't really tell you a whole lot. If you can find actual data, and the standard deviation, that will give you a MUCH more useful timeline. general rule of thumb: within 1 standard dev. of mean is about 68% of data values, within 2 st. dev. of mean is about 95% of data values, and within 3 St. dev. of the mean is about 99.7% of the data values. The long and short of this is: If the mean is 14 days and the standard deviation is 3 days, then you could be looking at up to 20 days (95% of data, within 2 St. Dev.), as generally, the 'outer 5%' of data is looked at as 'outliers' so to speak.
So, you could be looking at nearly an extra week, without it being 'unusual' in this case. (this is a hypothetical example, I have no idea what the true data is except for your previously stated 'mean of 14 days.)
Yup - you pretty much nailed it.
I'm up her near the front of the thread because @BY Bob tagged me with the Rascals dustbath. Otherwise holding at about 40 pages behind. But we have a car recall we have to attend to tomorrow and that should offer a chunk of time at the dealership to hang here.
Is it just me or are her legs unusually long and straight ? I noted this with Bernadette too... Do you think this could be her issue?
