Granny's gone and done it again

The #4 polish that hatched died. Kinda figured he might. Thats why I didnt take his pic with the other 3. He wasnt ripe. I have 2 and a half more right now. The half looks blue .. Cant tell really and the other 2 eggs dont have external pip yet.
 
On a funny side of things my chickens are planning something because for the past 3 days they have been taking turns attacking the feeder. Like hitting it hard enough to knock most of the feed out and then not eating it.

SO I've only put 1 scoop in the feeder in the morning

I thought I was being smart filling it up half way so it'd last a few days but apparently not.


I think they want all scratch everyday lol they've almost wiped out the flock block. I mix scratch in the feed, Pellet food last longer but only layer feed or feather fixer is pelleted around here. And with maybe chicks soon I bought crumbles... they are going to be so mad!

That's why they are emptying your feeders... picking through all the healthy stuff to get to the scratch. Layer feed only in the feeder should solve that after they realize there are no hidden goodies. I give scratch by hand, on the ground, where it can be scratched at.

Im home. I have cried this whole blessed day. I got all the way to Madison at the round-a-bout and got a flat. Im guessing about half mile to hospital maybe less. I have no spare or jack. Robert had me pretty worried so I drove the rest of the way. I got him in to the dr. and his fever still high they are working on him to get it down I tried making some calls. Called my friends DH and he said give him half hr. and he would try and find someone. I waited and called back 3 times. He wasnt answering his phone So I called his wife with the same results. Called a tire co. They have one for $92.00 but I have to bring my tire in. Called Tom just to let him know what was going on. I had a can of fix-a-flat and hurt myself putting it in just to watch it all come right back out. I asked for maintenance in the hospital and the guy comes out but they dont have a jack. My van is very rusted and needs a floor jack. So he goes to Lowes and buys a new jack and a 4way, takes my tire off and takes me to tire store where I am dropped off. I still dont know what is wrong with my son. I was there for a very long time and finally the man is back to pick me and tire up. I went straight to Robert who was curled up sleeping. I had asked the nurse if she could watch him before I left of course. They had broke his fever. He was able to go home with antibiotics. He has sinus infection AND a UTI. He never once complained. I did notice he peed before we left and then said I need to pee before we go.

one new chick and one trying to hatch but just making the pip bigger so after I rest for a few I will finish it. Other 3 nothing.
What a day!

So glad it was a relatively simple fix for Robert. And you had another angel around to help with the tire.

Was that the same tire I asked how many times you could use fix a flat on it? and you said 3. Guess three is the limit.



Looks super yummy, but you gotta have peanut sauce for the spring rolls!

He felt good doing this for me. Im not gonna take that away from him. Wait til he sees how many likes he got ! LOL . I found him on FB and someone that knows him tagged him in it.

JUST MY OPINION...
A facebook "like" wouldn't mean shat to me.
