Good Morning!

Quote: I thought so too. This should be thing 2 and thing 3!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The DH made breakfast before work and had it waiting for when I woke up and 2 chicks are out, 2 are zipping and 2 are pipped! It has been good morning!!

Glad you had a good morning!

Surprisingly I came to check on the broody and found an empty shell and a partially wet chick under her. I am suprised that it hatched. I didn't think it could even hatch by itself. That amazed me

Out of ovates....dancing in bubble wrap. That's too funny. Good post.

Dank ja!

Not a huge loss. They promised me work on Mondays and Thursdays, at minimum wage (about ten euro). They cut my hours in half (only Thursday work), kept me in busywork instead of doing anything useful, and the kicker is they didn't pay me for almost three months and probably wouldn't have at all if I hadn't kept asking about it. I've been sick as a dog, and all I asked was for maybe a stomach pill for my nausea so I could work, but they would send me home. This happened twice, and today I told them I had spat up due to me having a throat infection and coughing so hard (not made easier by the fact everyone there smokes and I'm very allergic). The wording (if I remember) was "go home now, and you don't have to come back". They were very insistent that I go home, so I left and I say good riddance. What they were doing was HIGHLY illegal and my husband and I are contemplating informing the tax office for an investigation.

Everyone is fine, praise the gods, but I am extremely angry and PO'd that I lost my job because i am ill. I am only ill because of the lack of proper heating, being forced to go into and out of a walk in refrigerator, and the fact that they allow other employees to smoke on the job/call the trainees idiots for not knowing how to do something they have never done before.

Is there a Belgian equivalent to America's Labor Relations Board? If so, that might be a good place to start, although the job doesn't sound like a place you want to be, anyway.

Chicken genetics is fascinating. @Saris these are both from a blue copper marans over Rhode island red.

ya mean to tell me I'm gonna have to grow up?

naw, just find a new toy

1) Safeguard and Panacur horse paste dose for a chicken is a "pea sized amount".
2) Safeguard 3 cc per gallon
3) Ivermectin 4 cc per gallon

A pea size amount = 1/4 cc of the liquid = 25 mg fenbendazole, which is not enough to treat most worms.

Safeguard is not water soluble and settles very quickly. Even if it were water soluble, 3 cc is not enough medication to treat most worms.

Ivermectin is floats to top in minutes, so no chance of it working.

I guess I should edit my book so I don't forget.
