If the training includes bird dogs, you

Yes sir I have British labs that flush and retrieve and a working English cocker that my step son got for Christmas that he is begging to start working on.

sweet!! Do you Breed or you just work them? I breed English Springers, Ken knows all about that working stuffs, I think he told you about his breading and working years.

This is an absolutely horrible picture but I couldn't move to get my good camera so i had to use my broken tablet camera. Cocoa, snuggled up on the left side of my neck and all stretched out and Mira, snuggled up on the right side I love these little ones!

awwww Jess yer so pretty!! I am so glad your spoiling them, I did the same with ours and they are so friendly and attached to me! and of course the goose lol

I forget who asked but here is how I candle and get pics. Modified LED head lamp (225ish lumens) How I hold to candle. Air cell of the egg is kept at the top. Candleing of the egg in the previous picture, day 9 (I think).

sweet I dont think you showed that before had you?

How'd you happen to stumble onto BYC?

Trying to research on hatching out birds and brooding.. I don't have anyone here to help or advise.. so I read a lot and try to pick what makes sense and try it.. this place has lots of good info all in one page

I have a 24 weeker, who's supposed to "have asthma" we are watching him closely for signs.... the doctor would have us just give the meds with out signs, but the meds affect bone density and all sorts of crap. I'd rather not give it, if he doesn't need it.


i also take metformin, though i'm not diabetic, I have PCOS, so I take it for infertility issues.

The same drugs I took for my bone marrow transplant for rejection are the same drugs that I take for my asthma and yes they eat my bones up that's how I got into the shape that I am now just nothing but pain all the time in my joints because they're eaten up. And I even have necrosis in my shoulder. But I take them because even with all that you can't do nothing if you can't breathe.

I believe I'd have to change doctors!

the doctors not necessarily wrong he wants the child to breathe it takes a lot of that medication to affect your bones I was on it real heavy. But even with that the doctors are weary of the bone issues

@campingshawsI forgot the most important thing. According to my vet, who raises dairy goats, the critical thing just before you wean and as they dry up is NO GRAIN, no fancy hay just grass while you leave them to dry up.
I would pull that baby for half a day at a time if it is weaning age if you have somewhere safe to keep it.

Then you'd 100% understand my hesitation to give unneeded meds with that side effect, simply because the doctor believes "all preemies have asthma"

My son can run for HOURS in the yard, and has never wheezed. He gets colds easily and can get a little congested sometimes, but his oxygen and o2 levels have always stayed stable, and he's never acted like he was having a hard time breathing.

People act like these medications are no big deal... but they can be, especially if the kids will need them their entire life. If he needs them, I'll make sure he gets them, but they haven't proved, with out a reasonable doubt, that he actually needs them and it's not just them pushing meds.

The doctors was pushing it, because he wanted to use long-term, prevention meds, on a daily basis, for a toddler who has never wheezed simply because he believes 99% of preemies develop asthma, and it was impossible for him to believe that my son's pretty healthy and may not need it.

His theory was if it was spring, he'd be watching it, instead of giving meds. But since were going into fall, he wanted him on the meds.

To me, if he felt like he could just "watch and monitor" in the spring time, going into the fall season wasn't a good enough reason to use potentially dangerous meds. A 24 weeker doesn't have the bone density of a normal baby. I don't want him to suffer at 40, because I let the doctor scare me into using meds his entire childhood, that wasn't absolutely needed.

I'm more worried about how he's going to be when he's 40, and to make sure all his parts are intact and healthy.
