Hi all, just popping in for a bit. Big storm heading my way, it has reached Ft. Wayne and my arthritis is seriously ******. Walking is very challenging. Can't feel my foot and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.I Pray you all never have it.
Anyways still have 3 chicks, trying to get the one off its legs to help it straighten them out. It walks on its knees, but keeps up with the other two!
Putting it in a container propping it up so legs can't touch and giving it water and feed every few hours. No progress yet. Still kicking get ordering chicks around but have to tell huby. I may get in trouble for that one. Oh well.

Somehow the software has unsubscribed me from hundreds of threads, including ones I stared! Now I have to go figure out which ones they are.

-Kathy

good luck!

Well, she is a Duckling.

LOL

You all look friendly to me

awwww so sweet

Yes. She trained me to run when she has the hose, lift my feet when she wants to put stickers on the bottoms, and to not assume that she can't do something.

ROFL!!! sounds like it was fun

It's still burning, contained, but not controlled is what the status is now.
They have managed to back burn and create fire breaks all around it, and the plan is to let it burn itself out now.
It is no longer threatening any towns or mining and oil operations, but it still is burning.
They expect it will likely take most of the summer to burn itself out.
Huge area, last I heard it was over 1500 square miles of forest
Only hear about it once in a while now.

glad to hear its contained, stay safe!!!

well, it has been nice chatting everyone, but we are currently experiencing a major thunderstorm and my net connection is satellite. storm is breaking connection every few minutes.
I wish you all a good night! I am going to watch the light show, and go put some life jackets out for the chickens.

Good night!

ewww, old people usually drink that, like my DD's great grammy

Congrats to chaos, mc, and all the rest on this thread that got awards. All well deserving.

as are you!! congrats!

Got up to the remaining 3 eggs hatched overnight

Got another 8 eggs to set (Aseel and Irish game). Hope that hatch goes better! But, 3 out of 12 eggs originally is something?

Congratulations!! good luck with the next batch!

This half caf is not going to work at all. I think I will have to toss it after all.

just drink that much more lol

Ohhhhkay then!

Yes and he just wants lawn mowers. Two male, castrated lawnmowers. He drinks goat milk, but didn't get a doe. No! He wants two male, castrated lawnmowers. So he can't even breed a doe if he gets one next year. NO! He wants two ...

So, interestingly, I set-up my first lockdown last night. I wanted to make sure I had everything perfect. I had cut up an egg carton and cleaned it, planning on hatching my eggs with them upright due to them being shipped and 2 having detached, saddle shaped air cells. I candled again for the "fluid" I saw earlier in the air cell and discovered that its a shadow that changes when I move the light across the egg. Not sure what I'm seeing, but there isn't much I can do at this point. After determining likely pip point and marking it on eggs, I decided to just lay them on their sides for the night and see what happened. This morning is official lockdown and I candled once more and discovered that my saddle shaped air cells fixed themselves! They look beautiful! I'm excited and a little hopeful about that.
One question, the bottom of the eggs, opposite the air cell still have a little area I can see veining in and the chick doesn't come all the way down. Is that normal for day 18 or are they behind a bit?
Thanks for all your help!

Good Luck, they sound much better now!! the veining should disappear in lockdown

keep us posted!

Duckling is calling, and sounds upset. Bye for now!

come back soon!

Time to go back in the cave.
Have a great day everybody!

you too! at least caves are cool, lol
