if i spank him believe me he will know it ... im trying not to resort to that .
im just wondering how much is hormones and how much is bipolar trying to rear its head ..we've known he was heading there for years ... and are trying to put off the inevitable but i think the time has come ...

it is just frustrating to watch him go through roller coaster emotions and to deal with the bad side ... I personally am a clean everything happy type pf manic .. i think hes going to be an angry break everything in sight type ....

there is a guy on another place who took this picture, he goes by decoyman there. AND it is just so lovely that I feel the need to share it. He might be one of the best photographers I have seen in this field of photography. I really think he needs to make a coffee table book...

I think one of my chick roos may be cucoo like this guy!

some may still hatch just get temperature back right which i am working on now ...as it dropped to 92 grrr again ... so im checking it every 30 minutes and adjusting ... will get my exercise tonight that is for sure !!!

VERY TINY turns! I barely moved mine just until the light clicked on or off. Then you have to let it set an hour to stabilize, worked well for me. If i was in a hurry i put a blanket or towel over it!

some russian orloffs coming too

Where from?

... im trying not to resort to that .

What did you guys eat for dinner? Sometimes food can trigger it, either by additives or by raising/lowering the blood sugar too much! Idk. My mom whupped or sent us outside, and if it was dark it was "go to bed"!

Silver... If there is one thing I know, and you probably too, is that food is a BIG trigger on bipo kids. It was for my dad too. One thing he was able to discover that really helped, and helped me too was what we were consuming and exercise. Exercise puts out happy happy endorphins. More natural foods also. Color can also be a trigger. Colors in the house with pink undertones instead of blue. Not saying paint a room pink, but want warm undertones. They do create for a happier state. Yellow... NOT a good color for bipo people. It is not a sunny color though it is yellow. Not a happy color, it is an eat eat eat angry color.

Try to avoid foods with MSGs, artificial or modified sweeteners, red meats in excess... Supplement his daily vitamin with St. Johns wart and Ginkgo. Ginkgo is not just for old people's brains. A leisure walk around the yard, down the street with happy music... A bike ride maybe.

I am a big girl, I like to eat, but I notice that when I eat fast food to much, or if I eat too many carbs in the form of noodles, cereals and breads, I have worse days. When I stick to fruits and veggies from frozen or fresh, not canned, I feel better emotionally too. Valerian tea is very relaxing. I add honey too it since I like a little sweet. Valerian has sedative/soothing properties...

Puberty for boys is just as stressful as it is for girls... They need their space, and they need your patience just as much. A diary... well, for a boy it is not a diary... is just as much a help for some kids as is seeing a councilor. Sometimes a councilor is more damaging, because they ask the "tell me about your mother" and next thing you know, it is your fault for something you had no idea of, unless you find a councilor who is very highly rated...

I'd avoid medications as long as possible. Some kids will need it, some kids can be handled with diet and exercise... Not saying that this is the only way to go, I understand that some kids need more than this. But some kids can benefit from an elimination diet/paleo diet for several weeks, then slowly adding in foods and see what happens to the mental state. If you have to do the med route, be sure to study the side effects very closely so you know what to expect with these meds. My mom is on depakote... Since taking it, she is a completely different person... More confuse, less confident, lacking common sense...

Anyway... I will get off my soap box now... BUT, I have lots more info/suggestions...

This i did not know. Color is relaxing for me, usually i dress for my moods. I thought it was normal until a friend pointed out and named all my moods by t-shirt color! I had no idea color was a trigger also! I like collecting paint chip pamphlets. Sounds weird, but if i am stressed out it helps sometimes to look at all the soothing colors and mentally put together possible combos. Don't matter for what, it's the process that is soothing! Why is yellow bad, why does it make you eat, and why do you have it in your avie??? A fickle sense of humor?

Oh, i think i have 2 boys and 4 girls. Hugsy turned out to be black and white barred, and though i thought a boy there is no chest bumping and red comb? The possible cucoo and the possible silver dilute are both boys for SURE. I may have to keep the possible dilute, i have asked all over BYC and no one will answer me at all about what color he may be if not that................

http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations1.html If you scroll down there is even a chick on here that looks like mine!

Bottom of page one, on dilluters of gold. Notice the citron roo's resemblence to my roo
(not likely, but the closest pic i have seen to my roos color!) He grew up to have very gold hackles and saddle, a light golden sheen on the "white" that i always assumed was the sun. See the lightness of the peach/buff on the chick? The rest is white and blue! Very pretty.
