No, couldn't reattach it. Sort of ripped off at a bad angle. Yea I woke my poor wife in the middle of the night after the surgery begging for pain meds!

I understand what that kind of pain is like. I did the same thing. Came home from surgery, slept til 10:30 pm and then "Whoa...hold on a minute".

I bet that was painful! How long was it until you could walk again?

Took 14 months to walk without a limp.

Little stinker, at 10 days old, already up on the roost bar.

Question for you guys and gals... how old do OEGB's tend to live to be, and about how long do they continue laying eggs?

. That's quite a leap for a toddler!

Well, for the first weekend since March I didn't have any OEGB in the incubator, and I think I only have about 4 in my incubators period left to hatch this season. I did hatch a small group of Bielefelders (2 cockerels and 3 pullets) and one lone New Hampshire chick. My little turkeys will hatch next weekend, with a few cream Legbars after that and then I'm shutting down my incubators. My wife is so happy, lol.

I keep planning on quitting too, but somehow eggs keep jumping in the incubator currently 13 golden sebright (pre-sold) and 5 lavender orpingtons.

Harriet's 4 babies are doing great. I sold a mixed hen with a baby that hatched a couple days late from Harriets brood. Now Maggie is still crazy nutty broody, and intimidating Harriet, so I broke down yesterday and gave her 7 eggs of her own. Maybe if she will commit to those, Harriet can get out with the babies in peace!

Thinking about selling a trio of Lemon Blues, some of my older birds, as I have younger, better looking birds to replace them. As I was taking pics of this girl, I thought, "Why would I sell a 3 year old hen that still has a tail like that." Looks like it'll just be a pair, lol.

Bielefelders, and a lone New Hampshire chick from eggs that thrown in. Anyone raise either of these breeds?

I think your Lemon Blues are beautiful!
