Well, chicken chores done, garden weeded, and compost turned and ready to spread tomorrow. Finally get to plant my garden :weee Also, a picture of my compost from a few weeks ago: The white flecks are from Siberian elms. We are infested with them. The straw doesn't break down too well, but...

Wow! I have over a thousand posts now! When did that happen??

It is good to hear from you. I hope that life starts being a bit kinder to you. You have been through a lot this year! I look forward to you being all caught up and back with us again. Please stay in touch, even if just a weekly update here, it helps to know you haven't forgotten us (I never...

That's what I thought and what I needed to hear. I read a LOT about chickens, but reading is not doing. This is a new world for me still and I panic a bit sometimes. Thank you for the reassurance. I'll pass on the PMS also.

I get that roosters fight, but I am curious, when is it too much? I read posts about bachelor pens and see pictures of multiple roosters together, how do you keep the peace between boys? My ameracauna boys are starting to get a bit aggressive toward each other. DH said that he took them and...

My favorite piece of spring.

Wow, it is super slow here today. Usually when I log on in the morning, there are 35-70 posts. This morning, there were 14. I hope everyone is alright. I know we have some folks here that are in the center. Best wishes for you all, and good thoughts for all that were in OK specifically.

They do Quicken and TurboTax What she said. I haven't used their online services myself, but have heard of and worked with the company.

That is very interesting! Thank you for sharing!!

I had surgery on my wrist for so etching similar. In most cases, what I had, is a use injury. Similar to carpal tunnel, but specific to the wrist. In my case, it was caused by a nurse missing my vein and hitting the nerve. I had to stop breast feeding my baby because I couldn't hold her. It was...

I have two SBEL boys. Since this mix is intended for egg laying, they are of no use to me. Wouldn't you know, out of all the chickens I have right now, these two cuddle up to me, preen my clothes and hair, jump in my lap, and act like the perfect little puppy dog chickens :rolleyes: How am I...

I am interested in birchen marans. I am pretty sure I have four boys and a defective girl from my last hatch, none hatched from the eggs I set, so I have four brothers. How much are you asking for them? How old are they?

I have always found it interesting that people will swear by the Farmer's Almanac and turn their noses up at astrology in general. I feel there is some validity to it all, just not fully understood. My mother is also a nurse and worked a grave shift for many years. I remember her cursing the...

I am in the same boat here. From shipped eggs, so far I have hatched six chicks and five of those were from the same set. This has been the issue for me. I have chicks make it to lock down, then on day 25, I break down and do an eggtopsie, and find out that, in some cases, they all developed...

:weee I have eggs! Off to work I go :rolleyes:

Waiting for the USPS to deliver...I think 10 am is the normal time for our PO Box, doesn't mean I haven't already driven over there. I should probably get ready for work to kill time...

Very tempting, but unfortunately, I am rapidly approaching my limit with more eggs on the way. I have to decide on which breeds I will ultimately keep and who is going to be rehomed with a few that will end up being dinner and some that will become additions to the Home for Wayward Chickens...

All of these swaps and my kids are all asking me if I got any orpingtons. Nope. :/ Not one. Couldn't have spoken up sooner. They are all in love wi Ophelia the hatchery buff Orpington who is a clutz and lays thin shelled eggs. :rolleyes:

They are 5.5 weeks old, six weeks on Thursday.

Grrr. 2 and 3 are the same bird and number 5 is not the crooked toe one. There is the one that was missed. This is #4 from above. And the crooked toe. I figured it out. The pictures didn't load onto my computer in the order I took them so I got confused. But crooked toe girl was the only one...
