BYC Edu thread, keep on rambling - HERE incubation Qs answered, lots of information!!

By misfortune. Samuel's mom prolapsed her uterus sometime in the night.

Oh, lovely.... I've heard some horror stories about that..

What's the prognosis?

You don't like the barring you're getting??? What's his barring from? Some of mine are EE/Cuckoo Marans (I think he is) I'm one who likes the barring...lol. "IF" you were closer Raz...sigh.

(Hmmm...I think that didn't work quite right...lol. Oops...supposed to go with the one above.

The barring is from whichever parent was a Dom. He's not the brightest bird I've ever had. He'll probably get replaced with a CCL or whatever roo I get from the EHAL chicks. I still don't know if I should sell him or eat him. My mom's dog, Jasper, hates him and only him. Jasper grew up with chickens and he's never been aggressive with them, but there is something about Brick that he doesn't like.

I know that is not funny but you still made me chuckle as usual. You could make one into a purdy necklace eh?

Don't tempt me! I could do it. Heck, I could probably make a fidget spinner.

I moved her and gave her all the guinea eggs laid today. I still can't believe they lay in this water trough/converted nesting area....lol!
Now she's happy.

You're killing me, Wicked! I've wanted cows for years and that calf is super adorable! I don't have the room, though, my horse hates cows with a passion! I'd never be able to keep them separate.

Oh...I should have included that. She was already in heaven when DH found her.
(But thank for your concern)

It's a major shock to the system for them to have an large organ as large as the uterus to be exposed to the elements. Not to mention the possibility of infection afterwards. It's certainly not something we like to have happen, but it's very rare here. The last time it happened was maybe 2008 or so. The cow was caught right when it occurred, the vet attended...but she still passed.

You have a horse? I am so going to hunt you down!

For everyone who isn't familiar with heated blankets, they have settings. If you get too hot you can just turn it down. Queen and king have a setting for each side...it can save a marriage! (Seriously!)

I was going to the pic thread to learn how to upload pics...lol.
Now I have to take the pics.

And then if you have a hot flash while under the heated blanket...it's like, AAGGHHH, get it off, get it off! It's burning me!!
