Don,

I know that Stimp has offered to perform the operation for you with Teach97 assisting.

I have just RECENTLY been in the delivery room patting and rubbing on my friend's head (to comfort her) who was having a C-section. I was standing right next to an Anesthesiologist. I'm sure some of his expertise must of rubbed off on me although I never touched him. I can make sure you never feel a thing for sure.

With all seriousness, I wish for everything to turn out the best it can.

Well Thanks everyone for the offer with the operation, I will find out this coming Tuesday if I have what they think,
If I have to have the operation I will consider all offers, As I am sure you all could do just as good of job, believe me my head doesn't have much more in it than a chickens does. a couple of you could get together and ring my neck and get right at the problem

I have a question for anyone with experience with broody hens. I have had my fair share of broody hens, however normally they wait until they have a good collection of eggs before going broody. I have a hen that will set on a single egg. Anyone else had this happen?

Stimpy :

I was reading your Doctor post and had to laugh, then I noticed you changed your sig line and spit coffee on my keyboard, thanks Man LOL LOL.

June is a good allround time in general, Less chance of us all dying in a Tornado/killer storm, which of course only happens on the weekends when you stuff planned.

Thanks, I had no idea, I guess she just wants to set, I have never had any breeds that set on only one egg, I've got a few that will do about 10, but thats the lowest number I;ve seen

Y'all are hilarious.... I needed a laugh today and you guys were it! I hear you can stitch stuff up with dental floss! What a weird day... drove to the city, ate at Joe's crab shack ( Nothing says "sorry about the crabs like fresh flowers".) and came back. Then I cleared out my garden's from old annuals and weeds since it rained and the dirt was loose. I started getting philosophical.... then I started bawling. I have decided to forgo my annual garden this year. I don't seem to get anything done... But I seem to be always busy and behind. I always seem to do the things that NEED to get done, but never seem to be able to have fun. Hubby contributes it to old age. I guess he's right...I left today and left the very STOVE ON! I think I am losing my mind. I can tell you what song was playing on the radio in 1976, but can't tell you what I had for breakfast... Oh well. Sufficient unto the day.... going to take a shower and stare at Judge Judy... Those people on there are such losers, but I can't seem to quit taping it... LOL... I AM nuts! Count me in for the okie day whenever you guys decide. I can't wait to see you guys build ...like... a time machine or something!! Love y'all!


P.S. I think I know where I can find a DeLorean!!!

P.P.S. I was reading this post and realized... I know why I have no time.... I HAVE CHICKENS!!!!!

Well I'm not sure on the genetics with a buff, but I have made crosses with a white leghorn and a RIR hen, offspring were mostly a light rust color, so my thinking would be in your case, possibly just a lighter buff color, of course I have absolutely nothing to back that idea up with, but I'm sure someone on here has crossed those two.

Cross the white rooster with the buff hens. then cross the male offspring back to the original hens. By the 3rd cross, you should have a pretty good line of buff leghorns. You can outcross along the way for better characteristics if you can find the other birds that fit your needs.

Or you may end up with something that looks like an eagle.
