I did get detailed records from him on feeds and his last shed, hatch date, etc...so its a waiting game now...sorry for not updating but I really didn't feel like battling with people anymore...this forum used to be fun, but lately all I see is a lot of bashing and a lot of new members bailing because of it...this forum has a wealth of knowledge and I can't imagine not having it as a resource but its very disconcerting to know that at any moment one can be made the target of the day...therefore I have refrained from posting and am just enjoying reading and learning... will update more once things progress.

I take offense to this. I took time out of MY day to help YOU. Multiple times.
I gave you suggestions OK not in the most polite way but I tried to give you solid info.
Good luck.
