my mom says the same
Smart woman.

I know you know this, but others might not... Anytime you lose more than one animal in a short period of time it means that something is wrong with your animal husbandry or that you have a disease. Either way, it must be addressed. The loss of four is unacceptable.

Exactly.
They say 10% is acceptable but not to me. More than 1 and one needs to get to the root of the problem.

yes,they are very very hard shelled eggs
Thanks for that.
Now I understand.

do they hatch fine in those hard shells?

They stay lanky no matter how I trim them, I am so afraid to cut them way back, as you can see they are 16 foot high if not more I dont know much about them, we never had any at the cc.

I know its started part English then I am not so sure

yeppers that too!!
They are a full sun shrub. Without that they'll be leggy and less flowering.

My wife always picks sun loving flowers for shady areas. Nature doesn't work like that.

Walleye opener tomorrow... Got to get the boat ready to go today.... Not expecting much though it's supposed to be snowy and cold tomorrow
Sometimes better to just throw away and start over.....

Good luck with the walleye.

@h2oratt , let me elaborate on that a little.... If you get them from a feed store and they start dying, it probably means that they were sick when you got them, or that they got chilled in transit back home. One must hone their skills and learn how to spot unhealthy chicks. When buying chicks, stand and watch all of them.

  • Do not pick any that are standing with their eyes shut.
  • Do not pick any thin ones
  • Do not pick any with droopy wings
  • Do not pick any with poopy butts
  • Pick only ones that are actively eating or running around
  • Pick only ones with food in their crops

The trip home
  • Keep warm


Once home, monitor poop. Abnormal poop will mean that something is wrong.

-Kathy
Good list.
It drives me a little crazy when people post about how to save a chick they bought at the feed store because it was so sickly they felt sorry for it.
If you don't already know how to fix a sick bird - don't buy one.
If you want to use all your time caring for needy animals, keep buying sickly animals.

Vigorous birds will come from the rigorous culling of all snifflers, droopers, feather rufflers, poor eaters and pale-headed birds to be sure they don't reproduce their kind.

Now you are 1002 behind!!!

I lost count
 
Wouldn't think of such a thing!  Your guys have nothing to be ashamed of, 'specially the starter. He only made one mistake, but it cost him.  Could have easily been 'tother way around.

A team with so much talent has no excuse for losing 10/11.....None...Why they didn't fire the manager after last season is beyond me.... I don't dislike Brad.... But he doesn't make good decisions.... Anyway war a good game especially for you
