Well with that bit of information I'm stepping over the line to stand next to Beaner. I would stab them in the eye. Repeatedly. Umm, I think that would be my LAST family gathering. Wretched children.

Oh, and I definately would not give them another egg, or the time of day. Did I say wretched children? Oh yeah I did.

Agreed. No eggs. No fabulous homemade food. What ungrateful people!!!

Next time they ask, tell them sorry, you decided to feed your extra eggs back to the chickens. They just love them soooooooo much and you wanted to make sure your eggs were going to beings that really appreciated them.

Awesome, Beaner! Congrats on your new broody babies. Did you manage to knock down that wasp nest? I know you said you whacked it and ran, did you get them all?

He earned himself females. He can now breed willy nilly! He's been in the "baby" pen for months now.

The wasp nest was definitely down. Didn't see a wasp dead or alive. Maybe the broody ate it? Maybe not. I think he is hiding somewhere plotting my death.

The hen in there was on 2 eggs. 1 hatched overnight and 1 is left. Going to go out in a bit to give her her own eggs back and remove the baby. Phew. Stupid staggered hatches.

If I can keep them alive. Right now we're on daily injections of Tylan 200 (TSC didnt have Tylan 50 so I had to poop a couple of brain cells doing drug calculations)


How are the babies Algae?

Growing fat and sassy apparently

All good so far. 23 weeks and 6 days if my math is still right. I'm rapidly approaching being bigger around than tall, but hey, that's what I get for being bantam sized. With Grant I was bigger around also and that was ONE kid who was on the "small" side for me, he was 8 pounds something.

So far, no signs of pre-term labor so I can do what I want yet. Can't say I want to work always, but erm, staying home ONE day I was going stir crazy.

An 8lb baby was on the small size for you?

All mine were in the 6lb range. Are they planning a c-section or will they let you try the old-fashioned way? I know twins can be tricky. I have twin brothers (29 yrs old now) and they were born the old fashioned way, although the 2nd one was delivered breech.

I hear squished wasps release a chemical that calls other wasps to the scene ready to attack. So there's probably more than one hiding out and plotting your death.

Yup. The kids here have all been 9 1/2 - 10 1/2 lbs easy except Grant who was tiny. Never had a problem with delivery, I've got big hips, what can I say. My doctor is always waiting for me to go into labor early because there just isn't much more room, but so far, nope. The boys have ALL been after and they like to aim for 2-3 weeks late. Worthless, ungrateful children.

Dr says I can try natural if I want and Rufus and Reginald are in a decent position. I'm so short waisted, an epidural isn't allowed for me because it's too close to my diaphram to risk. So it's general or nothing.
