Missed you too. Our new additions are doing really well. Everyone is molting like crazy. We have 55 chickens and get--maybe--two eggs a day. No eggs from Foley and his girls currently. Everyone is molting like crazy, of course.

Side note: Our chicks from slackwater have feathered in BEAUTIFULLY and we are looking like 11 pullets and 6 cockerels, instead of the other way around! So that's exciting. She realyl has done a wonderful job with her stock. The lacing and coloring are so extremely nice on almost every bird we have.

Congrats on the Call duck eggs. . . how big a butt?

How's everyone else doing up there? Your new ones doing well?

You'll have to post new pics of those BLRW's, congrats!!! :highfive:

I feel your molting pain... I refuse to count, but I think we're somewhere between 100+ to 200 and we got a whopping 7 eggs today... :/

Our newbies are doing great, the new Calls are laying like crazy and so is Lady Grey... Ohiki are awesome little troublemakers, lol...

And this big of a butt... (especially for winter brooding ducklings)

400

Trouble blacking out, huh?  I know exactly what you're experiencing.
Feb. 8th, 2015...I'm sitting here on the couch, watching TV, & started coughing, hard; I'd been fighting a bad cold. I coughed so hard I got dizzy. Wife came down here & asked if I were O.K. I told her I didn't feel well, & next thing I knew I was waking up; I'd blacked out. Went to the hospital, had MRI, CT scan, EKG, EEG, blood workup...nothing...everything checked out ok. Went to see a neurologist, who took me off the road for 3 months (state law in black-out cases). When the driving ban was over I got behind the wheel again & was fine 'til the last Friday in June, when I blacked out again, in the bathroom, Woke up folded over the edge of the tub, my head in the bottom of it. Was feeling fine 'til a few seconds prior to passing out. 3 more months off the road; my decision this time. Went to see a cardiologist & had a stress test; again, nothing. The day my self-imposed driving ban was over, I got in my truck & went fishing about 3 miles from here. While there on the bank of the pond I started feeling lightheaded, knew what was about to happen, & made it to a bench & sat down. Blacked out again. Another self-imposed driving ban. Wore a heart monitor for 10 days; nothing.

My current driving ban is up Christmas day. Almost 9 months after the initial episode, the doctors don't know a bit more than they did before I blacked out the 1st time. It's frustrating as H--- having to be ferried around wherever I need to go, & having to adjust my schedule & activities to match someone else's...that's just not my style.

So, as I said initially, I know what you're up against, & I can certainly empathize with you.

I suggest that your blood pressure bottoms out. Low blood pressure...if ya can get a home cuff you can test anytime you're feeling this way.
Second option is blood sugar.
 
This is the best thread ever!! I've been incubating eggs for a few years with various success. Lots of reading Backyard Chicken posts on every possible idea. Right now I have four incubators running... Not Briseas... One really old foam bought at a poultry auction by a friend and given to me. Two forced air Tractor supply and one still air... I have six bantam silkies mixes from a friend, four pipping now on the 19th day...... and the others hopefully hatching a few days apart for the next week. One group of eggs are Welsummers and pure Silkies that I got through the mail from someone on Backyard Chickens. Another group is from Val on Backyard Chickens and are Buff Orpingtons, Cochins and Dominiques. Trying to be patient with the current group as four have pipped today. One early this morning and whose little beak is really working hard.. I'm loving this thread as I want to be like Scflock but have a natural inclination towards AmyLynn's mothering traits... I love my chickens and spend a lot of time photographing their eggs...
:love

We had 100's of spam threads this morning in the Incubating section and it seems one or two "legitimate" threads got included in the clean-up process. Including yours… I've undeleted and restored it. Please forgive...
