sounds like great schools

We can push them too hard but I think that unless there is an underlying developmental problem, our children achieve to a level largely upon our expectations.
There's a reason Russian, Japanese and Chinese children excel.
There is sometimes a problem when kids go to tougher schools. My kids were always at tops of their class in grade school and I think they were a bit daunted when they entered high school and everyone was on a par or above them and they had to work very hard to achieve.

I didn't have a great deal of experience with disabled but for the 4 years I taught skiing, our staff volunteered our time for the Special Olympics.
My favorite group to teach were blind kids over the paraplegics and down's syndrome kids.
I did help with quadriplegics. They were so wild. Their first experience with mobility was with sleds.

What causes the egg to have so many "blood spots" and also does it look fertile?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

My eyes aren't great for fertility but I don't see a defined halo.
Blood spots are from tissue sloughing off in the early portions of the oviduct. Not really a problem unless it persists.

You feeling any better?
im ok thank you

Sally I set them Friday evening and haven't touched them til this morning.

any life? I would just gentle back and forth the wiggles try to lean so they dont lean into the wiggle make it worse.

QUESTION! I have three eggs that are pipping at the wrong end! What should I do? I read not to intervene for 24 hrs. But I was not sure if that also applies to pipping at the wrong end! Do I need to assist or leave them alone till tomorrow morning. The first one pipped over 12 hrs ago and has not changed much.

@atm21 Remember a mal is BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PIP and MOST times they get out on their own if they are not drown DIS right as they pip!!
MALPOSITIONS /PIPS WRONG END are the first to pip and the last DIS after hatch post #19606
Malposition (pipped wrong end) chick most times will hatch! VIDEO post #22241
A WRONG END PIP IS BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL Pip! post #518454 VIDEO HATCHING post #546

She sat in a hot bath for a while too. I just wish I knew how to help her stop coughing at bedtime... That is when it's worse!

Really sounds like allergies.

never said who the jack was for 

Most of us know that Jack is good for a lot of issues.

Hi everyone sorry I've been absent so long. Life is crazy.

My Grandpa's Alzheimer's is getting worse it will be a year in December since he's been moved to the facility but they're having trouble dealing with him when he sundowns. Which is causing much stress and worry since they're supposed to know what they're doing.

The flock is mostly okay. We have a chocolate English Orpington that we found a badly infected gash down her side nearly two weeks ago now I think. We cleaned and debrided the wound gave her antibiotic shots IM and packed the wound with antibiotic ointment. She is well on the road to recovery. We've no idea where she got the injury from as none of our cockeraks currently have spurs as they're too young. Perhaps a hawk. The wound is slightly under the wing tip and it appears the skin tore down from the top crumpling. The wound was down to the muscle and when we found it the tissue was stuck where it had crumpled however I think the feathers will grow normally there. I hope. She us in great spirits and did amazing with her treatment, although she has decided she's had enough of her twice daily checkups lol. As we were cleaning out the hardened pus we were amazed to find that at its deepest place the wound ran up under her skin toward her head for about 2-2.5". We never saw any blood or any symptoms and only found it as she's being treated for bumble foot as well.

We also have several other pullets and hens being treated for bumblefoot about 5-6 total. All but one so far are Orpingtons.

The predators are not under control yet and have taken off with 17 birds that we know of but may have grabbed a juvenile or two without us knowing earlier in the year. They picked the sweet corn around our house which has helped a ton but a strip of soybeans has given cover to a predator that last week took another pullet. The first in approximately a month or more. Unfortunately we have not gotten a clear shot at the predators or they would have been dealt with. We haven't even seen it in about two months. Ugh it's frustrating.

We have started getting eggs from our Easter hatch chicks but at least one of them has stopped for about two weeks now. Should I be worried? We also have a pre-Easter hatch CL pullet that has also not been giving us eggs for two or more weeks now. No other symptoms other than a lack of eggs.

Dealt with cocci twice this summer and lost a couple chicks one of the times they were on a preventative dose of corid. It was very odd.

Had a couple unexplained deaths of juveniles and chicks.

Had a salmon faverolles pullet last week not close to laying that we found after she was out of sight for about 5 minutes we began looking found her quickly. No predator seen, no blood, no visible injuries at all but her intestines and part of her liver were expelled through her vent. All appeared healthy. We did not open her up but I thoroughly examined her externally. I've no clues what happened. Again we were maybe 10-20 feet away and didn't see because she was behind a concrete wall but there were other juveniles back there and not a single predator call or anything.

Still have a couple silkies from my Easter hatch giving me fits about gender.

Have about 40-50 cockerals of various ages and sizes growing out for the freezer. The oldest ones and roudiest are in a run. We are ready to do probably the first 6-9 birds but have never done it and have been looking for a mentor to show us. I've watched videos and read books but hands on experience would be helpful for us.

I'm currently doing a hatch the eggs are from a friend and breeder who is visually impaired so I believe a couple eggs may be a day or two ahead and one is about a week ahead but I don't mind. I will be closely monitoring them as they get close. Most of them are silkie eggs with four lavender/black split Orpington eggs in as well. Out of 18 eggs I believe 12 are still going strong. 8 of which are silkies I'm thrilled! I hope we get some really beautifully colored birds. I already have a paint from her flock earlier this summer. Too young to sex yet.

What causes the egg to have so many "blood spots" and also does it look fertile?

I want your bowl. It's cute.
I wonder about the spots too. I have them with the pullets. It's a "working out the plumbing" thing, but I don't know "why".
