Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

I always liked the saying that the lottery is a tax on people bad at math.

And just so you know, I don't play! So I won't win. Better odds for those playing!

I don't play either.

My parents drive to GA when the lottery gets to a good enough size since they know the higher it is, the better the payout. Taxes take a lot out before it's over.

Thanks Everyone for good advice on the sweet little roo guy

He was just so pretty and perfect and sweet he will make a good breeder but if he can't stand right he probably wont. I'll keep him though I think. I'm already pretty attached

I sold a White Crested Polish Top Hat Pullet to a lady about 3 months ago and after she had her for about a month she contacted me and said it had been attacked by a hawk

! She wasn't injured so much as having wounds but seemed to have brain damage

. She sent her back to me to see if I could get her to eat again. The lady had been force feeding her "Boost" mixed with crumbles to keep her alive. She was like a zombie!!! Well after about a week she finally started to move around and eat again so I kept her for another week till she was acting pretty normal and sent her back

. The lady had her for about 10 days and then contacted me again to say she was acting like a zombie again

!!! I told her to bring her back and I would see if I could do anything with her

. Well after a few days of wondering what to do I realized the Boost had really high Iron in it. The poor little lassie had Iron Poisoning! From what I read it causes your Central Nervous System to shut down and it turned her into the Zombie. I kept her quite for about a week and now she is acting normal again!!! She won't be going back this time but staying here with me

! You can really get super attached when you are caring for an injured animal

! I sure hope the little Yorkie will be alright

The cracked ones will surprise you! I still have 2/4 cracked eggs developing. I had to toss one since it decided to quit and add a new smell to the bator.

I had a cracked egg (darn slipper hands when candling). I melted a little candle wax on it and it hatched. I think it was at about 10 days development when I cracked it.
Good luck!

My sweet Buff Orpington Roo died today

I have hatched so many of his babies and he was so gentle and handsome! I am going to miss him. The other roo in the pen beat him up it seems.

We only play when the numbers are big--manybe once a year as a lark, and put down a wopping $5!!! 5 times the chance of one ticket but still very slim chances because I do get the numbers.

We were talking earlier about the benefit of eliminating dairy when trying to control allergies. I realized if I don't eat yogurt I need a very good source of probiotics. ANd not the stuff I feed my horses please.

A very good probiotic source??

Candled my eggs a few days ago and removed 4 clears with 20 still going strong. I also have 6 eggs in lockdown starting today

Hoping to have some cute fuzzy butts by the end of the weekend!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!

I never realized how many people would be so dedicated to making this thread successful. I confess I don't have much to offer here, or even the time to read all the posts, so usually just have to skip many of the pages and often read only a few or look at pictures.

I have enjoyed some of the humor here, and it is good to see so many willing to offer useful advice and prayers for those asking for it, so just thought I would say so.
