Anything that makes it easier for you is a bonus.

Good for you, Opa. And good thoughts will be with you on Tuesday.

TD, looks like your color is very good. How is your egg color?

Yup that was the date I was told at Niles also. And that they're going through a different hatchery. Didnt ask which one.

I've been counting down since we got our first, because I knew we wanted more but wanted some age spacing.

We go through Townline. I know that TSC will not be doing any business with 1 hatchery due to the semonellia (?) outbreak.
I like chicks, but not looking forward to chick days. I hate answering the same hundred questions over and over zillion times a day for 2 months. Then come home to more chicks.

Sometimes things do work out for the better.  Yesterday I had my PICC line installed.  The doctors had set me up to have it done at St John's Providence in Novi but I insisted that it be done at St Joe's Livingston in Howell.  The last time I had one installed I was extremely nervous about having it done until I found out that the RN installing it was someone I knew.  He was a former US Army ranger medic in whom I had tremendous confidence.

As it turned out no one else has had the success that he has.  He has a zero infection rate, a zero blood clot rate, and the best rating of anyone in Michigan's medical system.  That alone was enough to reassure me that I had made the right decision.  While we talked about this year's hunting season and made plans for him to join me on the river for spring steelhead he had the line installed without me realizing that it was in.

The last time the drug of choice required a twice daily infusion that took 2 hours each time.  Plus with the IV bag being room temperature as it went in, I felt like I was freezing to death.  I was really dreading 6 to 8 weeks of that procedure.  This time a different drug is being used and the once daily procedure takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish. 

Now if the surgery that is scheduled for Tuesday goes as well I will be one happy camper.

Best of luck with your surgery on Tuesday Opa, I will keep you in my prayers.

I work at TSC in Lapeer... Our shipment is Feb 23rd.

So what you're saying is that I should start thinking about getting my brooder set up sometime around then?

Who's got turkeys and where do you keep them (besides the freezer, lol)? My two have outgrown the temporary coop in the barn. Mine are hen and tom calico's.

Good Luck on Tuesday, Sam! You'll be in my prayers!
