Newbie from Baton Rouge!  HEY YALL!

Welcome!!!

Oh no! Good luck! I had to help a friend's once...it took some strength to get over the shock of what I was about to do (cut a chicken) but once doing it it went quickly. About ten minutes of still chicken I needed so we used a towel to wrap her in.

If you see the "membrane" holding the infection try to get it out too, it acts like a sac and don't want it to refill with infection. If you don't an antibiotic will help prevent it from reoccurring too.

I think I'll be doing my first brumble foot surgery once Ron gets home. Not looking forward to it but it has to be done. It would be Bertha as we call her because she is one mean head hen. But she is limping so she is having pain I just did a foot check last week. Pam

So your family thinks you've gone over to the dark side! Lol!! I think I'd find out where angelicisi gets her packaging. Then they would never know till you told them. They might even like it better. And then again you might go MIA like kuntrygirl after her trial with meaties. Lol!!!

I wonder. I don't have resources to pay over $100 for bags. I'll have to research. Or I may just cut them up and put in zip bags. And yes, they are convinced it's dementia. Which I do take meds for.

But, you know, I'm sure I wasn't such a wussie when I was younger. All 3 of them (including gson) think I'm nuts. When I can buy it sooooo cheap at the store.

Thanks I pulled up some pics with instructions step by step they showed the sac etc.

Hahaha. If I did meaties I would get the same reaction from my family. They all want to eat Angel's chicken when I cook it. Lol. I buy organic chicken but Angrl's is even better. If I am eating chicken, Amanda says, "is that the good (Angel's) chicken?" She always wants some of Angel's chicken.

Hey there!! I already feel it coming on!

When you get the fever, you will know it, it's more taunting than your most favorite anything, you will eat, breathe, think, drem, talk and research chickens, your family will be texting you for an appointment

Yea!!! I ate the last one a week ago. I picked it so clean the girls hardly had any to peck off the carcas. Lol

 

[Jipus5]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took me a little over 4 hours to catch up! You guys have been busy! Miss me much?? LOL

QUESTION: anyone ever used the "if the egg points on one end it's a rooster, if it is mostly rounded it is a hen" before putting them in the bator? Read it somewhere that rounded eggs were hens, that you could choose what to incubate... ny truth in this at all or all fiction?
I have already sold over 50 chicks I hatched so far, and have to now hatch my own for my freezer and laying stock.... so it would be good to know if it is possible.

SO, I am coming to Covington on the 13th of June for the weekend. If there was a party at PETRUS in Alexandria, I WANNA DANCE TOO!!! LOL

I would like to meet as many of you as possible since I seldom travel and it may be my only chance for a while... pm me if you'd like to try to meet up. I am going to Angelisici's place for sure since some of us up here ordered meaties I gotta pick up. Then I am definitely meeting up with Pam somewhere, some way for sure... (my sweet soap maker).

So, our garden is BURSTING! Squash plants have leaves the size of my tooshie... which is a BIG OL LEAF! I can tell ya that... Cayennes seem to be growing good and tomato plants just showed their first lil green babies! Only ended up with 1/8 of the onions I planted, first time for me so gonna have to get more tips to do better next time.
Found an awesome wild blackberry patch 2 miles from my house while walking one day, so I go pick 3 times a week. Have 5 gallon bags full already so looks like I am gonna have some awesome blackberry syrup and jam this year! Then the dewberries are just everywhere! SO EXCITED! My customers have already put in some orders so here I go canning away!

Loved all the pics, jokes, and competitiveness with Wisconsin.... just got so busy!!
