INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

common core doesn't even include simple arithmetic?

They have screwed up everything for example, they have done away with or redone even borrowing and carrying from a basic understanding of tens in our system. Everything is convoluted before they have a grasp of the basics.
Just like in reading all the sight word emphasis without any phonics or building blocks. Concepts or big picture thinking cannot occur without building blocks or basics no matter what they say.

Thank you! I'm much better and I think little man is improving now - he's finally gone more than 24hrs fever free! Making progress!

Trying to decide if I should drive to get kids later or take a boat

Glad to hear you guys are both finally on the mend. Maybe tow the boat behind you.............ya know just in case.

Good morning...(kinda late) Hooe everyone is having a great start to their week! We're waiting to dig through all the mud and wetness - we got hammered here in North Texas with all that rain and I don't know that it's quite finished!!

I thought about you yesterday when the Orioles/Rangers game in Arlington got rained out.

Ok, I have a 7 year old hen. She hasn't layed an egg in ages. Her back end is so swollen (fluid), she waddles around. She can no longer jump up on the roost.

She has had a swollen bottom for 4 or 5 months, but in the last week it's gotten much worse. .She is eating and drinking, but she is very uncomfortable.

I think she will not last much longer, but I can't just watch her suffer. I am unable to snap her neck, or cut off her head. What is the LEAST traumatic way to put a chicken out of it's misery (when you have NO intention of eating it)?

CO2 Chamber. Not sure how to make one for an adult chicken but lots of people will use them for chicks.

Yeah just looked it up out of curiosity. Interesting part to me is that is where it decided to give me weather for. Usually shows Montgomery, AL as my local place. Have to change it to my actual location.

Try weather.com; you'll have to tell it the 1st time where to go, but after that it should at least give you the option right away to change location from a pop-up menu

You could try draining her. It won't cure her, and it could kill her, but she might be able to live another 6-12 months.

unless it's common core and then there's a possibility of sumptin.

But Mr. Trump's going to do away with it, or so he says

@Jessimom ,

Hen was cleaned with Chlorhexidine, had a 1" 18 gauge needle inserted and I syringed out about 500 ml of fluid using a 35 ml syringe.
