NY chicken lover!!!! - Page 1196

Kamir -   is this a chick or young pullet?   Is she coming into lay?  As long as she's eating and drinking and acting normal I wouldn't worry.    All chicks aren't the same and some do have strange personalities.

Hello all.  My surgery went well and so far the pain kept in check with the good stuff.  That being said, I hate taking them and the way they make me feel.  I dont know how anyone can take these on a daily basis. 

Dh is being a good dh and taking care of me.  He let everyone out tonight and spent the evening booting the boys off the girls so they know he is the boss.  A couple of them give him a hard time but a good whomp usually corrects the attitude.  I feel bad that he is carrying the load this week but it cant be helped. 

Hey,,,who knew that crazy glue is the new thing to use to close wounds??  Okay,,,Im done and off to bed.

I have my gardens fenced in so the rabbits can't get to them.  I did see a squirrel snooping around my raspberry plants so it looks like more fencing.  Or traps with my sleep inducing peanut butter sandwich.

Java what can you tell me about this swap?  

Stony - those pelts have to be worth something right?  

I could use some advice too.  I want to downsize my birds.  I've got some Birchen Marans,  Lavender Orps,  a few EE's , a few odd hens, and the Black ops roos.  I hate to give him up but a Lav amer roo too.

Do you think I'd do better to take them to Kings or try to sell them outright on CL?  Should I sell them as trios, or in groups ?  I can't combine the odd birds.  Definitely not the roos. 

I need to go to Alabama and don't want to leave DW with all these chickens to care for since she works outside the home too.  I'm only looking to keep the De ls, BR's and CR's.   I figure I can replace the others easy enough.   The orps came  from Jody in PA and I can make the drive again if need be.  Though she isn't selling Lavender Orps anymore.  At least not for a while.

Glad to hear it went well!  You'll be out chasing chooks in a nightgown and boots in no time!
 

I, on the other hand, don't chase chickens in a nightgown and boots.  I wear a nightgown and horrible, ancient, smelly, beat-up Birkenstocks.  Big difference! 

Thanks for all the wellwishes.  Up since 5 listening to the blessed rain fall.  No more pain meds.  Just sore.  So very happy we are getting a nice, soaking rain.  My lawn needs it bad and the cheeps are happy it is much cooler.  I have every window in the house open. 

Rancher--we worry about feed price.too.  I am hoping that once the pullets start laying that I will break even for feed prices.  I have a list of people waiting for eggs and hopefully they will still be interested.  We are at the amount we want to be, after the boys go to freezer camp.  I suppose we can always eat a few others if feed gets too high. 

Used to have birkenstocks but they finally wore out.  I am trying to find a chicken nightgown so I can really push people over the edge!!!

Enjoy the rain everyone.  I will.
