I was too late this am. she jumped and is limping. I took a long stick and poked the nest and about 7 big mice came out and one very big one. then I could hear the babies so I used the stick to squish the wire down on top of them. pretty sure they are dead anyway. I asked Roberts friend to take care of it and he said he would catch them in a bucket and relocate them. dumbarse . she isnt broken and she did get her hair cut . not a great one because I didnt have anyone to hold her. Then I poured one bag of fed up because they didnt have any and I have been asking for 2 day. hurt my back so I went for a walk .

I feel your pain granny. Sometimes it hard not to think about and it's so depressing to think about. Especially when your in a lot of pain. But all of us on this thread seem to have been and still are hard workers and stubborn lol. Some of us can't do the things that we use to. Yet we find a way to make it happen. Reminds me of the Toby Keith song ( I ain't as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was). A lot of truth in those words. Hope you feel better soon.

Used to be Toms theme song. Now he says he aint even good for one time. LOL

well, I killed the babies and destroyed the nest.
Will you open them to try and see what happened ? How many did you end up with ? I wanted to ask you when should I expect some top on my babies ? they have wing.

DH told me we we're taking carry ons. I think the statement was regarding checked luggage and he said "but we won't worry about (the worrisome thing) because we'll take carry-ons." So this whole time ice been planning to take the small suitcases.

THIS MORNING he said we'll each take a GIANT suitcase. His carry on will be the small hiking back pack, and mine will be a large purse. Now I have to figure out what else to pack so my clothes aren't wadded up in the bottom of the giant suitcase! e

I don't know what cruise your taking but the limited experience I have had with cruises at least one night your expected to dress to the nines to set for supper at the captain's table ????

I keep hearing about these "cruise elegant" nights. I doubt we'll participate. DH is bringing khakis and a polo. I have my "nice" jeans. That's about as fancy as we get.

Not ever. I LOVE dressing up. I just don't love packing dress clothes and all the support garments that go underneath.

I might do or I might not. I'm not keen on looking at dead chicks, they were all moving at lockdown so it's happened since day 18.


Ended up with 12 hatched chicks, have moved them all to the brooder now but the ones that hatched last night are still hiding out under the heat plate!!

I've found crest feathers are one of the last to appear, seems they do body first. I'm guessing so they keep warmer faster.

12 is awesome.

I like opening them and trying to figure out what makes them tick. Not for everyone I guess. Good to know about the top being last. sure nervous over here and one reason I havent put eggs in.
