Not a good day here either -
I almost went to the E.R. today too, tripped on a brick while trying to rearrange the soaker hoses in my garden. I fell over two tomato cages and my left leg hit the cement at the edge of the garden. It is quite swollen and scraped below my knee. Looks like I have a second knee cap. I took lost of Advill and put it up with an ice pack. It sure hurt for a while but the swelling is down. I will put the ice back on it for a while before I leave for the Maud auction. Can't miss that! I've been wanting to see what it is like forever.
Also lost another 2 mo. Partridge Cochin cockerel today! My 6 youngest Mille Fleur Cochins in the pen are pretty listless too. I put Selmet in their water and separated them from the bigger youngsters. Maybe the big ones were pestering the young ones and keeping them from the food and water. They youngsters are eating and drinking in their own pen now but still don't seem very perky. I got some Electrolite powder for the water for all the birds at 23rd street Lumber 2 today (before my afternoon accident). I saw some White-crested Black Polish chicks and some goslings among other babys for sale.

Hey MJ, hope you are ok. You really have to be carefull out there we would hate for you to have really gotten hurt badly. Hope the rest of your day goes better.
Hi all, thanks for all the concern. I have been having an ongoing problem with clots in my leg since Jan. From upper thigh to ancle the main vein was clotted completly shut back in Jan. I guess I have been up on it to much last few days cause yesterday my foot and leg looked like Fred Flintstone. Very swollen and very painfull. Went to ER wasnt much they could do but did give me a shot for the pain that has made me pretty much none functional today. I have to be in OKC at VA hospital early tomorrow so they can do some testing and blood stuff. Last time they lured me into a hospital for this they stuck me in for 8 days, hopefully tomorrow wont go that way.
Matt thanks for the call, and nice looking pictures, how are they bred.
