Ugggh! Oh well, if they are girls i will love them the same. It just really upsets me that they don't properly label their chicks, this has been the worse year for that! I bet at the very least 60% are mismarked, and I as well as many others have talked to management
Thank you Janet for your input

Anytime! Been there too.

I feel so stupid right now, they are indeed bigger than all the other chicks and I dont have any bantams...other than thinking these were. Thank you for your input

Oh no, don't feel that way! Its RKs fault, they are not very careful what they sell. Its false advertising.

Sugar is officially pre-labor!!!!!!!!

I just got notification that our hatching eggs arrived in Chicago! They should arrive here tomorrow! I also picked up a few semi-local silkie eggs today. These eggs are DD's birthday gift. She was so devastated about the loss of her silkie, so we decided to allow her to hatch some more "useless chickens" this spring. This hatch will include seramas, OEG, silkies, and a few orps. (The laced orp eggs look large enough to set, so we'll see.)

I think I'll be reaching my incubator's capacity!

Turkeys are lonely. Thinking about getting more turkey hens for Jake Jake. Penny is broody, so I gave her eggs back to her, even though their brood wasn't terribly healthy last time. They're lonely.

Also thinking quail, pheasants or some nice clean-legged chicken might make decent company.

Someone broke into our garage and stole all of our power tools and an expensive tool chest yesterday.

Went to ER Tuesday because I had an episode in my microbiology class and freaked everyone out. None of my contacts would answer their phones, and so other students or staff called 911, so I felt pressured to go. Not looking forward to that bill. Of course, they found absolutely nothing (like I said would happen)), so I missed all my classes, felt like a freakshow, and am getting billed thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing.

Neurologist thinks it's all in my head, but he's ordered an MRI anyway. That's going to be March 19. Ob/gyn is thinking a laparoscopy might be needed. Nobody knows what's going on.

What do your episodes include? If you don't mind my asking.

Here's the closest to comprehensive list of symptoms:

Slurred speech, transient accents/speech defects, very slow movements and speech. Light headedness. Occasional drooling and "just shutting down". Numbness/tingling/itching on one or both sides of the body (esp hands and face). Strange facial expressions. Numbness on one side of roof of the mouth. Electric, pulse-like feelings down back, especially when neck is inclined forward. Extreme fatigue. Inability to concentrate. Feeling of tightness through ribs and spare ribs (esp through back). Difficulty breathing deeply. Feelings of being very hot (quite often) or cold (less often now, used to be all the time right after the accident).

Severe brain fog, difficulty remembering, putting facts together or retrieving facts, especially as they pertain to math, seemingly. Difficulty sleeping. Inability to sleep through the night (wake up too early, often sweating, with headache, rapid pulse, hard heartbeat, no nightmares--just can't stay asleep). Feelings of hopelessness. Mood swings.

Spasms brought on by sudden noises, movement, flashing lights, pain, plus other stuff we haven't figured out yet. Symptoms may get worse with rapid changes in weather.

High blood pressure (generally around 160/115, sometimes 178+/120 but usually 150-160/100-120). High pulse which is often very hard (enough that paper in hands will begin flapping or that bed springs will creak when I'm lying motionless). Chest pain, pain down left arm and on left side of neck, sometimes accompanied by nausea.

Constant pain and feeling of sloshing or heaviness in RLQ, esp around right ovary which gets more severe when ovulating or in the couple weeks before menstruating, and also when area is generically palpated. Pain in back near spare ribs, sometimes one side or both. Missing or late, very heavy periods. Decreased appetite. Decreased urination but normal kidney function and electrolyte levels. Constipation. Thinning hair on scalp but increased body hair. Acne. Swollen throat. Rash on back of neck.

Legs that become exceedingly heavy and stiff. Trouble walking (feet will point off at weird angles, poor balance and coordination, heavy legs that won't bend right, shuffling). Poor posture, and inability to maintain good posture. Difficulty getting muscles to relax (esp in legs). Muscular tremors/spasms in face, arms, neck. Smacking myself in the stereotypical "retarded" fashion, and otherwise.

Headaches (behind eyes, right temple, back of head, whole head, sometimes whole right side of head only, sometimes going down neck and back, sometimes as many very acute stabbing or pulsing headache points).

Also having vision and smell/taste problems. Often have blurry and/or double vision (sometimes even more than double vision). Eyes don't want to track things together. Eyelids don't want to cooperate either, so one's often droopier than the other (left usually opens better). Noticed that my cake batter Chapstik doesn't smell like cake batter since the car accident last December (still smells good, but hasn't returned to smelling like cake batter, which is what it smelled like before the accident). Noticed yesterday that my chocolate soy milk tasted very odd. Odd things like that.

"Episodes" may or may not be preceded by headaches, and entail major problems with speech, balance, muscular coordination, impaired vision, numbness/tingling/itching/twitching, muscular weakness, spasms (esp in arms, neck and face). Usually also involve pain in right lower quadrant. Always involve very slow movements and speech, generally involve intense fatigue.

Hi folks, haven't been around much lately. I have 20 some pages to catch up on!

I was wondering if anybody knows of a source for button quail close to Indy. (Birds, not eggs or chicks.) I found a lone male on Craigslist, and now I want to find him a friend or two.

Wow! That's quite a list! That's a lot for a doctor to think it's all in your head.

From my experience doctors have difficulty diagnosing correctly, except for diagnostic tests. There's only a limited number of diagnosises (sp) taught in medical school for all of the 7 billion very different from each other people in the world!

I've had to figure out the basis of my own issues, which I would have never done without an oxymeter, and Dr. Google.

At one clinic when they took my BP and pulse, my resting pulse rate was over 90 (I think it was 97 bpm), but the nurse said since it was under 100 it was okay, not noticing that I'm a thin person, or asking how active I am. (I don't have the high resting pulse rate any longer).

Hope they find out something, but you pretty much know the basis of it all which sounds like from your accident. They should get you in sooner for the MRI.

Thank you. I appreciate the thought. But that's a far piece from Indianapolis!
