nope, not serious, just routine for me......fibruos dysplasia in a weight bearing bone that need to be removed every so often...usually every 8 to 10 years..this will be the 3rd time, so i am getting kind of used to it....and hey after awhile you learn how to run on crutches..

OUCH! OMG!

 

[oletymer]

Sounds like you got a great deal! Happy you got that and you are in the right place for hatching questions! These folks are awesome! And we all ove the fluffy butt pics! So bragging pics are of course required after the hatch!

Thanks! I am just wondering how old ours may be for POL... let us know when you start getting eggs!
The 'posing' is adorable, looks like they are showing off for the camera.... but Bumpkin is absolutely lovable!!! What breed/mix?

wing, my sister also gets lesions on her bones which have required numerous surgeries and bone rebuilds over the years.. so I understand what you mean about 'routine to you' so to speak. But really hope you have a speedy recovery and hope you can get out and about quickly afterwards... at least you should be getting into springtime weather for much of your recovery.

Bumpkin is all silkie, has a vaulted skull<<BUMP=BUMPKIN

Love silkies. I have paints and whites on the way by spring or when I move, then a partridge pullet and a splash growing out, which I believe to be a cockerel.Still need showgirls, lol.

Adams County here! I have Ameraucanas, rumpless araucana, one barred rock and easter eggers. Used to have some silkies, but a predator break in destroyed them including our only hat trick buff silkie hen. I have two Wheaten Ameraucana 1 year old roosters looking for a home. These are nice tame docile guys. If anyone is looking for a Wheaten Ameraucana roo, let me know.

Welcome!!! I'm right up the road!

Brand new, just sitting out for people to look at, minor surface scratches. I got a Brinsea octagon 20 eco. SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! I hope to be able to join in on the easter hatch-along. I have never hatched eggs so.... fair warning. I will be asking all kinds of questions! Can't wait!

Quote: One BR from Meyer hatchery began laying at 18 weeks. Mama2My4 has another of my BR, and I think she began at about the same time. My last BR began at six months (23 weeks).

What does everyone have? Right now, I have a mixed flock, but have new Ams coming (silkied and lavs), seramas growing out, paint and white silkies coming, turkeys coming (midget whites, working on more royal palms) and birchen and bbs marans in the bator. Oh, and mille fleurleghorns coming. There's more, but mostly that's it, besides the call ducks, pekins (when I get a drake), hopefully peafowl and sebbie geese.
