Did she take a fall Bob? Sorry. I’ve been out of the loop so long I hardly know what’s going on.

Her knee quit as she was coming up the stairs and she fell backwards down the stairs. Got pretty bruised up on the right side and broke her left wrist. We don't know why the knee gave out, but it's happened several times now so she's back on the walker until we figure it out. It's the knee on the side effected by the stroke. The ortho thinks it's neurological and of course the Neuro thinks it's physiological. We're hoping it's just some temporary thing that will just go away.

Before the fall she had gotten up to a half mile round trip to the mailbox using her cane without incident.

Bless her heart. Hopefully what ever is going on will be temporary. Has she tried a knee brace without the stays. I have to use one when my knee acts up. I’m sure she has tried things. This slip on brace does give stability.

Good Morning! I'd never try and keep a record I know I spend mucho on my birds. But they are worth it. Of course I only have 31 birds too.

I do that for several reasons:

• I love to deal with numbers and statistics - Trust only the statistic that you yourself have "corrected".
• Buying feed and straw needs some planning, i need to rent a trailer, call the feed-mill and ask if they have enough pellets and coordinate with my 40 hour day-job.
• Most important: I wanted to convince Wifie that the birds pay for themselves when i sell the eggs… Well that didn't work out at all.

But you are correct, there's not really a need to do this. For me this is just a nice overlap between two hobbies.

Good Day, Afternoon, Evening, Night or Morning to everybody on the Blue Marble!

Another round of snow here in West Virginia! The ducks were asking me this morning to leave them alone. They came out of their house/run, got cold feet and walked back inside…

Had to stop keeping track, my husband kept quoting my original budget of $500 to get everything set up

Good morning folks

@Pyxis if you truly want to pursue sheets, I can help but hillbilly is right that you'd be better served with a database.

I don't know how to do a database either

I can identify with this.

What about excel spreadsheets? They’re pretty easy

Good afternoon/evening/morning all. It’s a nice day here in the mid 70s F and sunny. I thought Fig might be a drake but heard a loud quack yesterday and again today so @WannaBeHillBilly I think you’re right and she’s a girl. Which means I panicked and got three more ducks when I didn’t need to. Oh well, I like them anyway and if it wasn’t a few more ducks it would have been a few chickens. This is easier. Have a good night/day all.
