The hatching eggs from Wisher1000 came this morning! She even sent me extras!
Out of 16 eggs, 2 were broken, 2 have detached air cells, 2 have weird air cells that are in the right place, and 10 have good looking air cells in the right place! Thank you Wisher! I am looking forward to this hatch!
ThaiDye, no need to beat yourself up. We all make mistakes sometimes. As long as you are not selling birds or hatching eggs, you shouldn't have to cull any of them unless one gets really sick.
Remember we are going to "trade" next year if you get eggs!

As I learned about them, I realized how lucky I was. Never bringing home birds again uless they are chicks from the feed store. You will get through this.

BF should be able to get his hands in them much easier but not as easy as the turkeys!
I'm so sorry. I had bed rest with most of mine, but the only time I wasn't able to get up and move because I had to, was mostly with my oldest son. Also couldn't sleep in a bed. Also had to be in a soft rocker with one leg lifted to a chair to sleep. I could barely walk with him and I have never had a stomach while pregnant. I do know! I feel for you and I know it's frustrating. You need to worry more about you and that little guy of yours and get someone to help. I didn't have help, so when someone can, I tell them to grab it! LOL If you're swollen I hope you're elevating. Since I couldn't use it for anything else at the time, I tilted the seat on my weight bench as far as I could and laid there with my feet up. Then laid the other way and then feet up again. It helped a lot with swollen ankles and legs. I had babies that thought my pelvis was the place they needed to put their heads and do tricks. I remind them of that. Not often, but when I need ammo.I keep trying to get a pic of the EE chick, but I have one major problem. I can't walk. I also wanted to get a video of the ducklings swimming. That didn't happen either. This is driving me nuts! I still need to clean out both brooders and I can't even do that.I had to ask Blu to get the quail and chicks more food. I can't stand it when I can't do what I need to.
Quote: Since I've pretty much stopped eating anything with salt in or on it I haven't had many problems with swelling. My hip finally stopped hurting so much, but now it's getting too dark outside to clean. Tomorrow I know I'm going to be in pain since we have to go grocery shopping.Either I go or I end up with a whole bunch of stuff I can't eat because my dad doesn't listen when I say I can't have a lot of salt. Something he shouldn't be eating anyways.
