OK I'll catch up later, but I did notice there is a chocolate discussion going on and now I need someone to send me some dark chocolate. Thanks

Hey I just realize. I can add eggs if I had quail eggs!

Anyone near me have quail??????????????

I seriously want some quail eggs right now.

I have 4 little hens and no roo and no one has started laying in that pen yet, so anyone???

countrygirl911 they might not offer them but that chick is at least a silkie cross with those feet! Adorable chick!

ETA - Wolfie I can't offer you any quail eggs but I do have dark chocolate!

As much as would like too, that's mainly what I have in there right now. I want something that will hatch for Easter hatch. I have 21 eggs and that doesn't seem like much to celebrate at this point. LOL

If my patients had to wait as long as I did today, they'd quit me.

Appointment at 12:45, didn't get home until almost 3.

Took x-rays, he says I'll need surgery, but want's an MRI first.

I'm not too keen on surgery but he let me feel where the 'miniscus'? was torn and showed me where he thinks the PL and ACL are torn or stretched. Then he showed me some floating bone from a previous injury that I don't even remember. He wondered how I had been walking, let alone hiking without pain.
Guess I need to thank the Good Lord for that.

I'm thinking, I've had previous injuries heal, why won't this one? Am I wrong?

Anyways, I got to meet sk acres (Scott) from Marana... he drove up for 18 hatching eggs and I sent him away with 33... great guy I also gave him some broccoli out of my garden, I've got to start eating it daily or blanche and freeze it.

I keep checking my eggs and then I think... wow it's only been 4 days... this is a long wait.

That is definitely a pure blue Silkie-and a nice one! Great crest from what I can see!

Mahonri---if this wasnt a long wait, you'd be hatching non-stop, and your wife would KILL you.
