I had a very close friend with rheumatoid arthritis; the best welder I've ever run across. He and I worked together a good bit while he was teaching me to weld. He'd push himself too hard and could only work about 15 min at a time before taking a 30 min. break. He was in constant pain the whole 20 years I knew him. Unfortunately, he tried to find relief in the bottom of a bottle. Lost him several years ago.

I'm sorry about your friend.

I have RA also. Not an easy thing to live with. I was an athlete.....which is a good thing because I've been in good shape, but frustrating how my body dictates to me now.

i was thinking that I didn't have anything incubating because I have nothing in my incubator. But I reminded myself today that
I have a pigeon pair siting on two eggs. I not sure what day they are on but I think I'll have babies within the week

Need to see photos of baby pigeons again. Saw some last month. They are not cute. Sorry, nope. But, fun to see! :)

all but 2 are are under 1 year. I got a black copper marans in October my friend also got one. Here has been laying for a month and nothing from mine. Same feed, same lighting. The two I got a couple days ago laid for 5 days and then not a single one since.

lighting triggers laying. thing is a chicken is a bird and it is natural for them to lay in the spring . like any bird the instinct to reproduce comes from the length of the day as the day grows longer it triggers the natural instinct of the bird to lay just like when daylight lessens it triggers the bird to stop laying as does going broodie . any bird will produce best in the spring time. so one trick is to copy the sun growing the light each day until the length is equal to the longest day of the year . to simply say that the bird has fourteen hours of light each day is fine if the length was increased a little each day to that length. the problem is it has to be done manually . or you have to have a very expensive computer program to control the lighting . this how you trick the bird into start laying

I put the light on a timer in the are summer. When the days were getting shorter. I just think it is weird that I am doing he exact same as my aunt and friend and even with the same chicken breeds from the same hatches theirs grow faster and produce way more eggs.
 
Hi all! Sorry I wish I could come by and say hi. But, I have been getting my birds ready for the Modesto show (It is exhausting
