Never knew fish had fingers. Learn something everyday

fish fingers are missing on most fish and what we call fins are actually the palms of their hands the brits catch remove fingers and release.

Sherry can have a bit of a bite at the end.

e she only had teeth on one end.

I sadly took a double hit from Marek's. First last year, thought I finally lost everyone I was going to (didn't know at first what I was dealing with) then in early spring I lost 2 adult hens. The one broke my heart. She was so sweet, and a spoiled brat that loved to launch herself and surprise land on my shoulder or other parts if I was bending over. I really thought we would grow old together. Anyway, all I have left now are 3 18 month old Aussies that came from Cackle Hatchery w/Marek's vaccinated and one 2 1/2 yr old red sex-link. I lost the rest of her "sisters". They came from another hatchery that was "supposed" to vaccinate but found out too late that they had not. Why this one made it I have no idea (it was one of these that also made it until this last spring). I have no clue where the Marek's came from unless one of the last of my surviving original rescued hens was a carrier. Anyway, I am now maintaining my little closed flock while I spend the winter drooling over poultry catalogs and trying to decide if I want to expand my Aussie flock or ask Santa (aka DH) to finance me for one of the more "exotic" Scandinavian breeds.

Fish fingers and custard

Granny, I can't believe you have never had sherry! Sherry is like a fortified wine, my grandma used to let us have a sip of hers when we were kids

and there are 2 types dry and sweet.

Good luck at the doctors wishing. I'm sure they are going to want to do a xray since you injured it with a fall. My experience with a 3 foot fence didn't go so well either. Ended up breaking one wrist, badly sprained the other & fractured vertebra in my back. I have a bum shoulder you could take in for me when you go. Injured it many summers ago & we didn't have the money for me to go in. Pretty sure something is torn in there & doesn't like to function like it should. Good luck hun

never had sherry before either. LOL
wishing , how old are you ? its just fascinating to me . being healthy i guess. good for you !

I'm 51. No surgery or xrays. I've had my share of accidents and injuries, but nothing bad enough to see a doc. Had the flu a couple of times, and colds, but other than the occasional headache, I'm good. My biggest problem now is hauling around this extra weight. Feet and back would benefit from losing some of my emergency survival kit, but I can't seem to get motivated.

Dr. office just called and wanted to see if I could come in 15 mins. Noooooo! I can't even drive there in that time and I still have to shower. Better go do that now. See you guys later.

I love love love Cackle hatchery that is where all my birds have come from. Although their chicken sexer must have been sleeping on my order.
