That's what I figured, they pretty much stay under/in her feathers, right? I just wasn't expecting it to be SO COLD, plus I was worried about when they have to go away from her to eat? Or do they stick to her like glue for weeks? God, I really feel stupid asking this!!:th

Chicks will go away from momma for periods of time in even sub zero weather. Stop worrying, really; chicks are incredibly hardy. :D

Morning you guys. It's my LAST DAY at the taterhole, and we have a 2 hour delayed opening!!! So even less time I have to be there! :wee

The weather was awful here yesterday. I had a bad panic attack about ten miles on the GSP driving home from work; it was like a 1.5 hour commute. It was sleeting, snowing, thundering/lightning (never saw that during a snowstorm before) and there were a million accidents, cars off the road...I passed a car that slid off the parkway into the woods and head-on'd into a tree.

Today is better, but the low temps are supposed to be below 32 all next week until Friday. Which leads me to this question: My eggs should be hatching around Monday. How will the ones under my broody survive if it's that cold??!!! THe weather was so nice I never even thought about that. The highs are supposed to be only like mid forties till it warms up on Friday. Won't they freeze to death? Do I need to put them in a brooder until it gets warm? Color me stupid, but I did not even think of this till now!!!! What should I do?

Thanks, I feel like an idiot for asking, lol!:duc

I had a hen hatch the sunday after Thanksgiving this year...
 
Hi friends! Sorry I have been away for so long.

Here is the DH update: doctor prescribed nuclear medicine cardiac stress test due to chest discomfort and arm tingling.
followed by forced/strongly suggested vacation at home to rest and relax. (Neither of which he did- rest OR relax.)
He is textbook type A.


Stress test was relatively uneventful, with two old ladies who both out ran him he said, much to his embarrassment. Waited five days for the results.

The results basically said everything looks fine. Let us know if symptoms persist. Which they have. EKG looks normal, cardiac enzymes OK too.
They have kind of left it hanging in the air and said they may repeat the stress test in a month.

While DH was off he embarked upon a honey dont do it job UNDER THE HOUSE in the crawl space
and which took the better part of THREE DAYS
where I made him face time me the whole time in case he had a heart attack under there.
I make a point of never crawling under a house where it’s dark and creepy, but was fully prepared to drag him out from Under there on a plastic toboggan that I actually got out of her attic just in case I needed to do CPR on him.

No offense to Sammy or RJ, but all the married ladies, or formerly married ladies on here, I’m sure will understand that kind of stress involved with having your husband home “sick” ....

Then as a showstopping surprise, DH had been working on a 34th anniversary gift to me (both of us)
WHICH WAS A PUPPY...
dear god ...
Who we have now had since Saturday and I am thoroughly exhausted from getting up every two hours at night and keeping everything dangerous out of his little mouth and this poor little puppy still does not have a name although we are working on it…
It was an incredibly sweet gesture on DH’s part although it has certainly brought into the light that I am getting old as heck.
Because this little guy is
WEARING ME OUT.

I have missed you all and apologize for my absence.
If anyone has any major news please tag me or message me to tell me about it because there is NO WAY I can catch up.

Name suggestions welcome...
Human names preferred but not necessarily required.
Here’s the face to go with it:

Omg, he is just adorable! Why not set up an exercise pen with papers on the floor so he can go there while you sleep?
