Granny's gone and done it again

Robert and I went to wal mart. My walking is getting worse I guess. Last time we went I made it to the back and down 3 isles Today, No isles.

Need to get that checked, tired or not.

There isnt any thing they can do about it.

water was cloudy in one of my tanks a couple days ago. I couldnt figure out why. I found the cause today. Huge snail stuck in the intake filter. I had a time getting it unstuck. Its still in there though. Wonder if the other snails will eat it? Thats exactly what its parents did too. Soon as they laid eggs they went to the filter and died.

Wishing, have a question. If I use a barred rooster over my hens will ,various colors, wlll I get any barred hens?

It depends on if your rooster has one or two barred genes. Barring gene is dominant and sex linked. In chickens, the female has the short chromosome (sex linked chromosome), so she can only get one copy of the barring gene. If your barred rooster has one gene, then 50% of his female offspring will be barred. If he is double barred, all of the female chicks will be barred.

Orpingtons lay about 175 to 200[7]:158 medium to large[4]:115 light-brown eggs a year.

It was said that at one time Orpingtons were capable of laying as many as 340[4]:115 eggs per year. This decline in production was due to breeders selecting for looks over utility

IF this is true they wouldn't be cost efficient for me.

They also tend towards gluttony. They like to EAT!

I found a hyperbaric (sp) chamber in Lawenceburg hospital. Wondering how we can get to that.

Doctor's request!

Pretty worried about my herd share cow. She is due the end of the month.

Oh my goodness. Poor dear. Twins would be better than one huge calf.

There isnt any thing they can do about it.

You don't know that until you find out what's wrong. Could be a tendon out of place or something.

Even if the female is a buff Orph.?

Supposedly. So much of genetics is not straight forward. There are probably exceptions.

well I got it partly right. I knew it was dominate . LOL
