The "hole" in Audrey's heart is almost gone...the cardiologist said we don't have to take her back for any more EKGs or ultrasounds!

yea that must be frustrating, people need to read at least the chicken basics and maybe ask breed specific questions, but, they are looking to you as the expert. I have a feeling I will be opening up an egg tomorrow, and if my little AM B isn't better he might have to go meet his maker!!Well my hatch went egg-celent also....only 1 fail to pip & the egg quiet so I cracked it on the air cell & yes, a dead baby.
So I have 3 turkeys & 11 Black javas in the bator.....over run with chicks !
Have been trying to catch up with egg orders & answer questions & PMs all day..........Seems each & every person who wants eggs asks 10 questions, how do they lay ?
How are they in cold ?
Do they go broody often ?
My personal favorite:
Are they a sustainible flock ? (???????????????????????)
I am coming to hate that word !
Are any chickens sustainible ?
No. You must feed them, water them, house them & protect them.
Most breeds will not increase their numbers by themselves, you have to get in there & isolate & help broody hens.
You really need to incubate & learn to cull weak or inferior birds to keep your flock strong if not to SOP standards...so many questions.
I had a dream last night that DH went up the hill to the turkey hen's hiding nest, and brought back 1 turkey egg and 3 BIG turkey eggs only they were bright blue.
He had the one off-white speckled regulat T egg & the 3 blue ones in his hands & showed me, it was so real I woke up & wondered where he had put them ?
I am egg-zausted............again..........
Me is also thinking it is about time to til the pea patch & plant some snow peas ?
Funny dream!!
The cameras are the stuff. I had 2 in the barn when we had goats. And the monitor was right next to my bed. That way I could watch goat TV in the middle of the night rather than have to go to the barn for false alarms. Speaking of false alarms.The most sure way to know the time is very near is....... When ya see feet /nose.
So my son is home, and he said he feels like he did years ago with out stress. He's going to take it slow to not over due anything. He also told me today I was hovering and to stop! I thought to my self REALLY after what I just went throu this past weekI do know he has been through much more than I have but as a Mom and watching it all happen it wasnt good. But good thing right now I dont have to make that drive every night..
So Im going to put on a test batch of eggs and see how they are doing, I was thinking of having people do it for me, but know how I feel when they dont hatch. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh so for everyone getting eggs shipped that dont hatch, it could also be the bad weather the eggs have to travel in, also if you dont know the person you should ask how the hatch's have been going for them.
I know my son thought the same thing! and I only saw him for less than 24 hours, and I haven't spent any serious time with him in almost 2 yrs!!! REALLY?? jeez MOM!!! they just don't get that it doesn't matter how old they are we are gonna be moms!! Wait till he's a dad, then he'll get it!! I hope things will go better now, hopefully he can make some serious decisions with a clear head.
hugs to you!!
