Broodies do it best. My first broody was last year....mixed flock....she hatched 11/11. This year my first broody hatched 9/10. I guess the moral to the story is don't put any more eggs under a broody than you want to hatch!Hello friends!I've been quietly lurking lately, so busy with the end of the school year.
First and most importantly, thoughts and prayers to those who need them.
Last day of Kindergarten for my little man, where in the world did the time go? Two months off before back to school and 1st grade!!
Thought of you, Blooie, when my Wyoming travel guide hit the mailbox last week. It had this really cool vintage looking "Yellowstone or BUST" road trip sticker in it. We won't make it that far this summer, but maybe in a couple years!
Day ten on my rookie broody experience. I decided that I would candle once at day ten to remove any clears and then keep my hands off and let momma do what she does best. This being both the broody and my first time, and no clue on the fertility of my barnyard mix of chickens, I figured I would get lucky if a couple showed development. Even more so if a chick actually hatched. Well… my untrained eye noted a spiderweb of blood vessels in all TEN eggs! Movement in at least 4, but most of the eggs are blue/green or brown so I had to look really hard. I also looked quick as I didn't want to disturb the nest much. This could be the about craziest thing I have ever done!!!!
Tell her one day is her's and one day is your's and let her figure out how to entertain them.
Well said, Bee. I don't support gay marriage either. Having said that, I have a brother and a niece that are homosexuals. Heartbreaking...yes, but I love them both very much and they love me.I don't support gay marriage. That doesn't mean I don't have caring or love for my neighbor, nor does it mean I'm "close minded", though I most certainly am closed in my mind to worldly things as I am instructed by my Father to do so. I don't feel you are "born the way you are", other than we are born with a sin nature and that is true for all of us~ except Jesus Christ. We have the power to overcome that sin nature through Christ and we are commanded to do just that, so I don't feel we have a license to sin just because we live in this world and everyone expects us to follow the pack.
I don't hate gay people just because I don't condone that lifestyle, nor do I want to deny them anything, personally...that's not my place and I could never hate another human being and certainly not for the sin in their lives. I have a full on plenty of sins in my own....I've sinned horrible sins against my Heavenly Father. Sin is sin, according to the Word, none greater or lesser than another....but it is sin nonetheless~not my opinion but directly out of the Bible, the inspired Word of God~ and for that, I cannot condone it, advocate for it or approve of it in any way without offending my Father. He is not "for it" and so, as His child, neither am I.
Having said that, I can say that I hope that this porch is big enough for all views on the subject and this doesn't unleash a firestorm of "intolerance" in reverse, so that folks get mad because there are some of us who are not "cool with it" in regards to homosexuality and gay marriage. I would hope to think that this Porch contains women of intelligence and good sense enough to not open up a can of worms just to see who will eat one on a dare.Any arguments over the issue WILL result in the thread being closed, as it will the Porch, so think very carefully of what you will say next and how it may affect those who congregate here for fellowship and friendship.
Oh Blooie, I love your porch and that pot is awesome! Roasted apples sound delicious. When is the next roast???
Welcome to my porch.....right here on Oleo Acres.
