Yep, we have the lop, Cheeks is her name. No microchip. No babies, either. Got her a big ol cage in my daughters room *sigh*, and some toys- and she stopped pulling out her fur- and plays soccer with her big ball with the bell in it all day long now. 

Thankfully, I do not have to rehome a litter. Mutt bunnies are probably hard to find a home for.

Hey, at least you don't need to worry about them filing complaints against you! I agree, though, that is a bit creepy. Maybe they really stare over the fence and freak you out so much because they actually just really like watching the chickens?

 

maybe...but they creep me out. lol

BF likes to complain that the house is always a mess, and for only having 2 people and no kids it can get a bit messy, but I can always get it clean in a short time. I've taken up trying to clean the garage recently, and there's actually room to walk without stepping over anything now, but cold and rainy weather has put a stop to that. It gets far too dusty to clean in there without the door open. Eventually I want to drag everything out and reorganize it so that maybe, just maybe, we could fit a car in there. That will have to be on a weekend so BF can help out.

 

When the weather gets consistently nice, I want to move a bunch of the furniture and wash the carpets. That's part of the spring cleaning routine, and along side spring cleaning I want to make a list of items we could put out in a garage sale. There's a bunch of stuff we don't use around here, just taking up space and it's getting to be that time of year. Anything that goes unsold will find it's way to Goodwill, Salvation Army or some other resale shop.

 

 

On the lines of lost teeth, what do you do with them? I've been curious about it for the past couple days after recalling that I had kept all of my lost teeth in a jewelery box drawer.

My parents never did the 'tooth fairy' thing with us, we just showed the tooth and got a bit of change, then got to do whatever we wanted with the tooth. My siblings usually tossed theirs in the garbage but I, for some creepy reason, decided to keep mine tucked away. What do parents who take the teeth do with them? Throw them out, tuck them in a box, let the kids choose?

I have a sign at the road advertising eggs for sale.  I have a small refrigerator on the porch with a sign on the door that reads "feed costs are up.  It now costs $2 per dozen to produce these eggs.  Store bought organic eggs are over $4 and they are many days old. Help with my feed costs.  Leave what you feels is fair."

 

Please leas what you feels is free.  Next to the refrigerator is a locked & secured box with the word money on it.  So far I haven't lost an egg and folks leave from $3 to $5.

When having problems with chickens stop and think, what would Harlan do?

I always threw them out. Ewww..definitely didnt need to keep them. Kids lost a tooth, put it under the pillow...Id swipe it out for cash, then toss it. My luck- if I had kept them, they would have found them...

Save their teeth and make a bracelet with them.

Yah, we did the same thing - pretty standard ops for most parents.

Juice, its not that the birds can't go in, but that they wont. Once they settle in and it is dark out they will not go in, even if it rains. They wont move around in the dark.

I take my eggs to work and sell them. $2.50 a dozen.

Just had a nice visit with Taprock, she kindly saved me some guinea eggs. Her son the chicken wrangler showed me their cute cage of young birds, including his pretty calico cochins and the wild-haired polish.

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

About 10-15 minutes later a police car cruises by and stops in front of my house. The police man watches me for a couple of minutes then slowly drives around the corner. He stops there for a bit then moves on. The same cop cruises by 3 times in the next half-hour. Each time I was shoveling dirt and not "driving" the tractor, but the beer was clearly sitting out in the open. 

 

So can you get a DUI while mowing?  gig.gif

 

Isn't there a country song about this?

The only thing sexier than a guy who can cook is one who can make me laugh.  Both together are fireworks.

Er... this is streamlined??  I do once a week - well once a week for bathroom, floors, etc (I may spot vac mid week but not much).  Dusting takes place when I get around to it or when my eyes start to get itchy.  Listening to you guys I fear that I'm some horrible slob.  Not that I'm going to change anything, mind, but still.

Those pics are adorable.  Is it just me or do ducklings totally look like they know some key truth but they're just not going to tell you.  Because they're ducklings and they don't have to.

 

And everyone else's baby pics were adorable!  Taprock, Pippin is crazy (I mean that in an awesome way).

 

I really, really need it to stop raining.  I worked my tail off to try to build the coop last weekend and didn't quuuuiiiiite get it done.  I figured, no worries I'll get it done Monday or Tuesday.  IT KEEPS RAINING ON ME!  he.gif

 

I'm so close to being done and being able to move the chicks in.  

 

So Close.jpg

 

It was beautiful all day today... until I actually got done working.  Then it rained.

 

Someone hates me, I can tell.
