    Coffee anyone ?

    It is hard for me to fathom that the temps in Montana swing so much... 50's to 90's back to snow and back to the 90's. Those are crazy weather swings. God bless you for living with them.

    I think that there are so many of the "urgent care" places that the dr's are actually losing some patients... but this clinic I am considered a "patient" I guess... and this person is a "new one" since the last one I saw over 3 yrs ago has left... I wanted to get in at the dr office right down...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    So sorry for you getting sick... and sounds like it is pretty serious stuff... TAKE it easy and get over this. "Summer colds" and such like the pneumonia you have, are harder to get over I think than winter stuff...

    Yeah, the cannibalism is surprising to me too... I would definitely contact the company and just honestly tell them about your experiences. Noting the points they had been shipped from... I had a bunch of sexlinks that were mean and almost cannibal tendencies... they did fine out free range...

    I've never seen sussex chicks... interesting they had the chipmunk pattern... Learn something new every day. Did the lighter yellow chicks turn out to be the males or the females??? But then, the silver duckwing pattern has "chipmunk pattern chicks" but they are a more silver color instead...

    Milking Machine question

    Large commercial dairy farms have lowered the psi on the milking vacuum to 12.5 to 13 from the previous 14-15 that they used to be set at.
