She stayed the night, it was really late when she was going to leave. So we all had a fast late dinner and went to bed.
She left early and when she got home gave me a call.

I had another dr's appt this morning....I've gained another 4lbs in the last two weeks!

I'm still measuring 2 weeks' ahead (fundus measurement) and the baby is also measuring 2 weeks' ahead, still....

I got to see her on the u/s today.

She was active and sticking her tongue out!

She is still a girl too!

The doctor checked her heart and the EIF's are still there...but he again checked the heart functions and said everything looks "beautiful/normal/healthy."

Meons are great for when the birds dont want to drink. My birds will eat a the mellon down to the rind. Keeps them cool and provides fluids, plus it gives them something to do.

Hope you were abe to pul them through, and you dont lose anymore!

I took one back the the coop last night, he complained but was doing great this am. The other spent the night in the house, she was eating and drinking this am. DW says the hen is still doing fine but is making the kitchen stink so it needs to get out

. Thanks for all the great information, I do believe they will make it. Today is another scorcher. Around noon the kids put 4 2liter bottles of frozen water in their pen.

My FiL in Northern California had a pheasant Farm for years.

It is easily 110 there in April, and continues even to 112-114 throughout the summer, until October it starts to cool down.
During this time, from March on, normally there is not a drop of rain.
This year was like ours here in WA--rain, storms, rain, flooding & below average temps.
But anyway, FiL set up 'misters' all along the tops of his pheasant runs, and hooked them up to the hoses.
During extreme heat, he would turn the handle, and cool spray emits.
There is extremely hard water there, so much so that we would go through 1 water heater a year until we got one with a brass do-dad in it to collect minerals.
The minerals in the water arc from 1 element to the other & creat a stalagtite of rock hard conductive minerals!!
Removing the dead water heater was difficult with the heavy weight of the minerals inside.
If you have that kind of water, you may have difficulty keeping the little mister nozzles from plugging~~
But they work!!
He also keep shade cloth over the runs.
Hope this helps!

Oh I KNOW how that happened....its what my husband is afraid is going to happen to me

Little does he know how far in I am.... I am debating about trying to sneak a bird in. He's smart tho, might catch on after a while. He actually pays attention to how many we have and what breeds. I'm not sure if it is cos he is interested OR if he is keeping track of my illicit poultry additions.

Do you mean there is foundation but no drawn comb?? I think that must be what ya mean since I don't even know if ya can buy drawn comb.

There is commercial frames hanging in the hive body, with the foundation beeswax in them.
No, we have no comb...
