Granny, I threw out the eggs this am, & 21 of them were infertile! I've never had this problem before. So I got 11/20 chickens=55% hatch. I had moved eggs around in Bator 3xs in case of hotspots & temp remained steady the whole time,99.3*.

Ok, I am back to ask a question

Do you keep your feeders full constantly? My younger group hatched in may I think are eating me out of house and home. will they over eat as long as they are getting all flock crumble? I also have layer pellets in the older hens coop area. If they run out of food they fly up and go into the dog yard. Then they get eaten by the dogs. My husband says to keep feeders full at all times.

I guess they are still growing because only one, a pita has started laying.

Howdy everyone! Was too tired yesterday afternoon to even turn on the computer. The slow internet is annoying because the ads really slow things down and I fall asleep waiting!

Sorry about the tornadoes, Papa and Cap. Terrifyingly scary for a person like me that is used to earthquakes.

remember how the old screen doors sound when you open them slowly ? I can press on my knee cap and "feel" that same thing. Thats fluid on the knee I believe not tendon.

Screen door knee is not a good thing. There is a little pillow of fluid filled cartilage under the knee cap (called meniscus). You may have damaged that somehow. Lisa's advice of ice packs is good. The dr ordered that knee brace for a reason. You need it.

Morning granny. Bright sunshine here.

I've decided to keep my appt in two weeks with this dr, but I'm going to let her know that her behavior was unacceptable and if she's not able to raise her standard of care then I'll find someone better. I doubt anything will change, but I'll feel better about standing up for myself before I doctor shop.

Good for you! I'm also very impressed with the weight loss. I need to do the same thing... some day... maybe... I hope... do I smell chocolate?
As for your Dr, you want a dr that will be a partner with you in making your health care choices for your life. You do not want an unfeeling, dictatorial bully who cannot even see the whole woman sitting in front of her. Maybe she was having a particularly bad day... they are only human, not the gods they sometimes act like. But DO stand up for yourself. Makes me sad to think she made you cry like that. Going to a dr can make us feel vulnerable, but they should not have the power to make us so upset. Go in a little angry, tell her what you want from her, and if she can't do it (and doesn't apologize), leave. And write a truthful review of her on yelp or google or wherever... you might save someone else from your bad experience.
Also, about the blood pressure, mine goes up just walking into the office... so make sure yours is an accurate reading. I think you are right to try to get it under control naturally instead of jumping into pills, but do know that chronic high bp can lead to kidney damage.

So, I know WHATS hurting my knee , How do I fix it ? Has to be a different approach to getting in and out of a car . One leg in, sit down then other leg that is hurting

You need that brace! Hope they can get the right one for you.

Sitting waiting in the sleep doctors waiting room. I got lost getting here, driving in circles thanks Google!

 

[AlleysChicks]

I am home! Found out I don’t have to work tomorrow!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

SOooo, I think I found the problem to the car and its a $100.00 fix. Unless I do it myself then a lot cheaper but hard on the knees. My DH added windshield washer fluid to the coolant overflow. Since it has been drove it needs a flush.
It is winter here ! 42 degrees Is the highest I seen but havent watched any weather.
This AMs check showed a pip in one of the 3 remaining eggs and the babies might be keepers. I bought 5 heat lamp bulbs today. I am seeing a couple frizzled feathers coming in and no upright tails except for one so far. Pretty colors coming as well.

Got another bullet egg today from Swed. They turned the coop upside down inside. Even buried their eggs.

Kats sick, apparently vomiting AND diarrhea good thing I’m home tomorrow.
