Things you never said until you had chickens.......

[Skipspin]

Kids: When are you making muffins?
Me: As soon as one of the hens lay another egg- I'm one short.

To my grandparents: Oh, I only watch the weather when we have chicks and I need to know if they can stay our all night or need to go in the playhouse.
(DD converted her almost-airtight playhouse to a "nursery" for bins of baby ducklings and chicks after I told her my laundry room was no longer available for poultry at night. Made it too hard to do laundry.)

we ran out of eggs during a bake day and my mom sent me over to the hens... waited a half hour before i got an egg. i do run over to the coop when im short a couple eggs... wait a minute! i hardly sell my eggs so i have plenty.

Walking outside in the silkie yard.. with the chicks... "Ok, so where are all my little fluffy butts at! look mommas got some left overs for you! "

,No! Go back outside! You are NOT laying your egg in the house again!

Funny enough, I can picture that with me some day...

Here are some examples:

Punkin BO thinks the dog bed is the perfect place to lay an egg.




Beth BR prefers the clean linen basket.

Then, Belinda BR has obviously been watching Beth and Punkin, because she managed to sneak inside TWICE to lay her eggs behind the active incubator, where I didn't see them until she was up on the counter on the third day.

Me to chick

"Stay in there pasty chick! You need a bath!" I swear, this chick just gets pastier daily. I will probably have to bathe her again tomorrow.

Have you tried a little Apple cider vinegar with mother in the water ..Usualy takes care of that ..
