We're going to cull the messed up hatchling. I feel awful!

The wb roos are making a ruckus wanting fed. The 3 cemani have socks zip tied on their heads. I fell asleep on the sofa.

Yeah, leo full moon is here to throw monkey wrenches in everything I touch.

Okay, just read a bit more about it. Apparently, some of the active ingredients are used in wound treatments today as well, so it should work for that. But the use of the plant has also been linked to tetanus. So I wouldn't use it on open wounds.

Ok, thanks vehve!

The eggs not hatching aren't only the shipped white bresse eggs, but ee's from my backyard pullets too

I have actually only been able to hatch my own eggs. The bresse are on day 22 or 23, so I'm very distraught. I put them in on the 13th. At 4pm. Fwiw

For some reason my shipped eggs always hatch a day late. Frustrating, yes.

So this senator that is heping control legislature says that we should allow restaurants to not mandate washing habds because we have too much regulation and it should be the restaurants perogative.

He said he would howver require a sign saying that "this restaurant does not require handwashing by employees"

So he will allow restaurants to remove the sign in the bathroom but instst on a sign at the counter.

A good example of our tax dollars at work. (regardless of party)

ugh. All the more reason to eat at home.

Chickadoodles, I was scared to death of pressure cookers - my mom had"difficulties" with them. I wouldn't come out of my room till it was over with. After reading about your experience, I won't even approach them in stores.

You never know if they are 'loaded' or not. Better to keep away.

Pressure cookers scare me big time.....
Had a case where a southern-food restaurant's pressure cooker (for greens) blew up because there was a clog at the pressure valve. Took out the wall, destroyed the kitchen appliances and made one person deaf. Fortunately, no one was killed. That lid was a discus missile.

Wow, so sorry guys! The beginning of this hatch season is off to a rough start for sure.
It is a very "crispy" -26 F here right now so no one is even thinking about baby anything up here yet.

I could not begin to tell you the failures I had with shipped eggs but every single chicken, quail chukar and Pekin duck I haveoriginated from eggs that travelled hudreds or thousands of miles on land and 7291 miles in a 747.

Dont give up DK.

It's Plantago Major. It's been used to treat rashes, insect bites and wounds. I don't know how well it really works, but at least I imagine it stops mosquito bites and nettle stings from itching, and helps with bee stings too. You gently crush it a bit, and rub it against the affected area.

The one in the picture might not be the exact same plant, but probably a North American variety of it. Around here, they grow in most lawns and it's considered a weed.
This plantain and a similar species with narrower leaves (P. lanceolata) are invasive weeds that were introduced to this continent, probably inadvertently, by Europeans. There is a legend that Native Americans called them "White Men's Footprints" because they sprang up in the wake of waves of settlers.

DK, death and disappointment are a major part of keeping animals; it's a painful lesson we have all learned (some of us many, many times over!) Sorry about the losses, but I'm believing that your next time will be better!

Felix, I have many of 'those' weeds in my lawn - actually I have a bit of lawn in my weeds. I am impulsive and usually wrestle those things with my bare hands. Now that you mentioned tetanus, I will smack them with a hoe.
