Can you see if they can put you back on the ins & just pay them out of pocket, since you are still technically an employee?
Somebody must have overlooked something.
Are you Union? There must be a probono lawyer out there. Heck even if you have to pay a union lawyer to get advise, that might still be cheaper than paying the hospital.
And if you are not Union, get a private attorney. Tell them you only have $X to pay them. Maybe UW's School of Law has probono trainee attorneys that can take your case.

hmmm... I have english birds

so does Risingstar. two people on the east coast paid the big bucks and imported. they went thru the circus act and so they are available. not the chocolates and stuff though...thats a whole nother controversy at the moment!

So after I hatch these Orps, do I have to go try to find another line to breed from so I am not breeding sisters to brothers? If so who would you suggest? I'm still so new, I really don't know where to start. And the color splash is not recognized is it? Is that what BBS stands for, blue black splash, or am I way off?

yes BBS is blue black and splash. splash not recognized color for showing and such. which is stupid because it comes from recognized colors. it wasnt bred into the breed using a different breed. it happens in blue.
Anyway your eggs are from two different unrelated roosters and girls. I am not sure if carol marked your eggs or not. if she did when they hatch you can band them with colors, G babies getting one color, F babies getting another etc . keep track as they grow up if you like and put girls sired by Lance in the pens with boys sired by Artie and vice versa. can get complicated eh??? but not to worry, many people do allow linebreeding and it does not go horribly wrong. I personally would keep track or split the boys and girls and find another roo to put girls under and perhaps another batch of pullets to put with your roo that you keep. My hatch of the same eggs will go under my boy hoss. they are not siblings. his get will need their own roo too. and I may keep a boy from Lance or Artie to put in with Hoss pullets.

The UK also has fantastic Chocolate & Pyle Orpingtons !

What is a Pyle Orpington? Googled but couldn't find.

Wyandotte, but it is the color red pyle.
Games come in red pyle too..it reminds me of a tuxedo...very classy

I have friends in BC, and have entertained the thought of having her send me eggs (unmarked) ..............but so far there isn't anything there that I want that bad.......this would be after I get NPIP of course, not that that would matter, the shipper must also be certified..?

Thanks so much for the info. I think I get it. Carol didn't mark these eggs. So I'll just have to wing it.(no poultry pun intended

) Will you eventually have some of Hoss' eggs for sale? He's so handsome!!!
I need to go to the library and get a good chicken breeders book. Any suggestions?
