The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

What a day and now I need to play catch up!!


Had to run Little one to urgent care and they sent him to ER for IV and tests for possible appendicitis, Thank GOD for test results showing not an appendix issue, he was sent home with unknown illness and with antibiotics and a check up tomorrow, is labs were bad, white bloods up and a ton of other things. Still high fevers but at least the motrin brings it down. I am not sure the hospital was a good deal or a bad, look how dirty that place is, I dont feel like I need to clean my house now! Good grief, this was our room at entrance in the ER Pediatrics!!! see image below!

We finally brought him home to rest and I checked that egg I posted the video of is pipped YAY for that at least, image below. I never got to the post office to mail the chicks out

4:30 was the last call for express mail!

And then I opened my mail and LOW AND BEHOLD there is my SPOT CHECK!
It doesnt work and we opened it and the battery is corroded to the point of RUSTING as is the internals on the spot check! NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!
I pray the day ends better than it has started! Now off to get to my messages and then read a zillion threads to catch up!

I'm so sorry Sally. What a rough day. It sounds like you need a few of these.

I hope he feels better soon. I'm praying for good news tomorrow.

Why is the waiting part the hardest? Three whole weeks to go!

Adding this link to the Hatching 101 Article so I may share it with others that dont already have it bookmarked.
I seem to keep pulling it for people so I know it will be of good use to others that raise chickens

PM me if you didn't get this sorted out & I'll see if I can walk you through it. I wasn't on much yesterday. I was too busy puking.

Oh yuck, sorry you've been sick. Hope you are feeling better by now! It seems the it's more the head cold going around this area now. Take care!

Oh my gosh, I am cracking up right now, I have an unused mailbox on my porch (it turned out not to fit on the current mail post and I am not redoing it until there isn't any snow) and when I went to move it one of my california whites flew out of it and left this egg behind! haha "special delivery"

Don't ya just love chickens?? Ha ha...that's cute.

This is a chick that I incubated that hatched at 3am today and it's one of the eggs from my hen and rooster that was attacked by the fox today

Oh good, you are getting babies from the eggs!!

wild turkeys in my front yard right now!

Oh Sally! That is just horrible. An ER room looking like that? I know you will do this..but, will just put it out there. If that little one's fever isn't doing any better by morning..well, let's just say this, you know where NOT to take him. I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. If that baby is feeling worse tonight, I would even take him back tonight..somewhere else.
And, when it rains, it pours. Bless your heart. That's an old lady saying, and I say it because I'm an old lady.

And I mean it.
