I should be around...unless my FIL decides to buy a new truck tomorrow. We're buying the truck he has now, so we have to go to the dealership with him to do an "in and out". I hope he gives us some notice, but you never know lol!

Thanks for that visual image!

I am having a miserable turkey hatch. One won't stand and the second hatched with only two toes on one foot. None of the others--even the chicken eggs in with them are trying to pip. Every deal I thought I had for Swedish Flower Hen pullets fell through so now I have to commence to setting eggs and waiting for them to grow up. Grrrrrr.


I have had a chicken with the intestine hanging out --but mine hatched that way. Three of them. I looked it up--caused by temperature spikes or drops that went on too long. I found online it said to use a damp qtip to push the intestine back in and bandaid it shut. I did...one survived and is healthy. It is a shame yours didn't make it.

So sorry about your hatch.

Just wondering, if you put a bandaid on it, how does it poop? I was curious because I had one baby die with pasty butt (my first chick and didn't know what was wrong before it was too late). So, if pasty butt can kill, why wouldn't a bandaid. Sad about your Swedish Flower Hen pullets, too.

The intestine will be hanging out of the umbilical opening and not the vent. You just have to carefully wrap the bandaid so it covers the umbilical hole and leaving the vent clear.

Yeah I know it I'm bout a week or more behind on everthing Sandy. Since I been sick with the cruds I just do get the chores done much less anything else(as in making money) which has got to get back in the making again things are getting tight and thin around here. I got more to do than two people should have to do much less work in between time. LOL hoping to get caught up on a bunch this weekend,

in between the coughing up lungs and harking lugeys and blowing boogies

(sick huh?) I know it. Havent got to enjoy a meal in a week I eat(have and appetite) but just can't taste nuthin' so I just live off memories of what I remember things used to taste as.

Jeff

Hope you're feeling better Jeff!

I am I can taste my coffee this morning and not too much is oozing from my nostrils LOL still have a terrible hack I've heard from other folks that have had this crap it takes about 3 wks for it to run its course. I'm going on week 2 now but feeling like doing more and more I got to get to planting while we have a break in the wetness LOL

Hope all else is fine and good and have a great weekend (Saturday nite dirt track racing tonight) I'll be there with bells on and my snot rags in hand

No one is on-line!!! I want to scream with joy that I have 2 new fuzzy butts. You guys have made me green with envy and so hungry for some babies. You really are enablers. Samantha, thank you so much for the sweet babies. Your family is so beautiful and it was especially nice to meet you. It's so peaceful out there where you are.

I have to show you my new babies. Their names are Elizabeth and Amanda. We really hope they are girls, otherwise they will be Burt and Andy. We took some great fotos and video with my camera, but I don't know how to upload from that camera, but this will give you an idea, taken with my phone:
