Thank you for the kind thoughts!!

Hi Kiki, No, too many mean people are looking for a free meal or for a spare one to use in cock fighting.

My daughter's pet chick, Blondie, has turned out to be a rooster! He is a friendly 4 month old buff orpington. We can not have roosters. He needs a new home asap. We have handled him since the beginning. He comes for treats and is curious, friendly, and fast. He roosts at night and free ranges...

HI! I know not everyone loves TSC BUT with Covid-19 affecting many things, I just went to the Poolesville TSC and they have Buff Orpingtons and SLWs among others. The hitch is that they selling them straight run. We are now on the lookout for some green and blue egg layers. Hope this info helps...

That's amazing that it doesn't hurt! Any chance that a chick cross of bielefelder rooster x olive egger or CCL hatching out of a green or blue egg with olive green legs would lay green eggs??? Anyone want to hazard some guesses?? I think Rachel would have called them "Camo eggers!" :) Enjoy...

Is that called Chicken math?? I'm not so good at math but if that's chicken math, I think that I could get the hang of it! Now chicken genetics is a whole 'nuther story! Trying to figure out if my roosters- a bielfelder and a Crested cream leg bar- autosexing genetics carry over to the newly...

One hatched and one has pipped! I can hear it cheeping for it's sibling! Both are light brown eggs ( cross with a CCL or Bielfelder rooster). 2 more to go! one of those is a light blue egg and the other green. Hard to see through. Thanks all! Missed being on here. God has Mightily blessed our...

Stopping in to say I'm still alive and kicking! Will try to, hopefully, catch up over Easter break....Working 3 jobs...Been very wild, hard, exciting time over the last several months. Hope everyone is ok and know that you are thought of despite the lack of posts.

And Phil, If you have any extra maple syrup, lmk!!! We can work out a deal of sorts. I love it! I will take or sneak it (and butter!) into other places like Denny's or IHOP to put on my waffles or pancakes. :cool: I have a bottle of the other stuff. Don't think it has seen the light of day in...

Wait, whaaatt? Noo, huh? Mind blown... (puts ice pack on the now aching brain) True, very true and very necessary! Very true!! Nice 6' privacy fence is very helpful and makes for good neighbors or makes bad neighbors behave better. I just got really chilled and shivered! Now I am looking for...

YEAH!! Roomonthebroom, YEAH! LOVE it! So glad to hear you worked through it and decided yes. Glad she is liking it as well. Some do better at CC than in High school. Taking one class gets their feet wet. I liked that mine got their sciences with labs done at college. Challenging? Yes...

stopping in.... missed you all! (Trying to recover from this bad virus.) Do you all remember the discussion & strong opinions on Financial Peace? Well, having taken it 2x, I can say it did help me. Still not budgeting but I have paid off 80% of the medical bills and saved a tiny emergency fund...

Northern Applachia: Here's my thoughts for you... Join HSLDA for about $100. They will give you legal covering, teaching support and answer any of your questions. Find another homeschooling family to help figure out the nuances of homeschooling in your location. Figure out what style learner...

If they are young chicks or need an emergency food, I love Grogel! It's a gel with electolytes and supplements that's easy to mix up and for them to eat with very little mess. I have successfully used it for shipping an older POL pullet. I have used both a storage crate drilled with 1.5" holes...

AMEN!! Stable is very Good! And as to packing up...ask for help! I am sure a volunteer would love to help you! So here is a chicken question: I have an Americauna that laid green eggs crossed with either a Bielefelder or Crested Cream bar . She hid eggs and hatched 2 of them out. One of...
