Good morning...well...almost afternoon here...

Baby and I are still fighting the crud but I think we're both a bit better than yesterday.
My 9 yr old stepdaughter's mom text me this AM saying her husband (stepdaughter's stepdad...who is only 40 I think?) had a heart cath done Mon and is undergoing bypass surgery today for several blockages. If everyone could say a prayer for him. They were at the hospital waiting to hear surgery time today.

Happy Hump Day everyone...it IS Wed right?? lol I'm so off on my days lately with being sick!!

Lock down tonight on my first shipped eggs. I think I'm currently at 4 live eggs from that group. But, will set all 6, just in case I've made a mistake. Second group (12 eggs, also shipped) due to lock down tomorrow, so I'll lock them down at the same time. I'm not sure how I'll put them... the first 4 have horrid air cells, and they're huge. The second group has some saddles, but are not bad. Air cells on this group are sized acceptably. 3rd group (my gender selected eggs) is in other bator, due to hatch Sunday, then there's a lone turkey poult in the bator with that last group. He's not due to hatch until next Friday. Not sure what to do with him with all the juggling going on! I expect to leave him right where he is until perhaps the first bator is empty, then do a quick sterilization, and move him in there.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Well @Sally Sunshine I didn't get to screw nothing up with my first chick that hatched. Pearls radiator had a hole in it and I just got home. In to much pain to sit and stare at the incubator like I planned. But that may be a good thing.

AWESOME!!!! any more @rIrs roost remember your broody situation and how we met? lol

@Sally Sunshine Day 10 Ancona Ducks eggs.

awesomeness thanks tons!

I disbudded my little goat babies. Poor things were screaming! I disbudded one of them and it went well

! They are over it now and want to see mom again...glad I don't have to deal with the horns now (unless they grow back).

WOW good going chicky!!!

Where has Sally been today?

@Sally Sunshine
While my physio terrorist is very attractive, she is not my type. Any woman who can make me cry with the gentlest touch is a woman to be respected, if not feared.

oh Lord!!

Sweet dreams all. Ok @Sally Sunshine you can come out now.

I HAVE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS


GOOD NEWS

MY NEW INCUBATOR ARRIVED!!!!
$350 later




BAD NEWS

My one and only silkie chick from the Easter HAL died last night. I think it died because when it hatched, it's bum hole was inside out and that caused it to get poopy butt all the time.

I am so sorry about the baby!!! awwwwww

The poor pullet is getting stronger, but I never did get her leg splinted right. Not sure what the outcome will be yet. Duckling was happy to hold her, but decided she needed to be put back in her tote. I was going to hold her a while, but I couldn't tell Duckling she was wrong for doing something that is usually right!

The other 8-week-olds are now free ranging alongside of the adults. They don't go quite as far, but they are all together for most of the time.

dawwwwwwwww

New arrivals 2 EE's from my backyard flock. more eggs with pips today is hatchday!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

@Chaos18 So what is new on your end?

Not a whole lot. Kicked the 2 week olds out of the basement and into the garage on Monday. Not much else besides that and running some fence for a new run. What's new on your end?
