    Laurajeans Chicken Coop

    Welcome to my BYC Page! I've created this page with a focus on my coop/run, my pride and joy. I took a lot of time thinking and planning, and my efforts paid off with a great, maintenance free coop, if I do say so myself! My Coop: I designed the run myself, stealing good ideas from others...

    Lost My First Chicken; Have A Couple Questions

    Quote: Thank you. The others really did seem very unusually calm, somber. Even the jerky rooster didn't bother being a jerk, didn't crow at me as he always does, they all just stood in a quiet group and watched me take her. I really sensed they felt the loss.

    Lost My First Chicken; Have A Couple Questions

    Haven't been on in a while, busy with work and other things. Today I came out and found one of my chickens, a Partridge Silkie, dead near the run door (just inside the run). I was absolutely stunned, mainly because this is my first loss and I was not expecting it, but also because she was young...

    Let the smiting continue? :D

    Quote: Thank you! (And by the way the drunken karaoke WAS the tyvek shed; I always found it so ironic, $40k worth of audio equipment but no one thinks of siding or interior ceilings. Beautiful light figures screwed into clear poly over insulation. ) The stories I could tell if that thread...

    Why can't I find a pug UPDATE PAGE 7

    Quote: I was thinking the same thing. I would ask him.

    Not pregnant, just weird! Odd flavor combos

    Haven't read all the posts, but on the topic of odd food combos, I have a few: 1. I'll put sour cream (or cottage cheese) in almost anything. I mix it into my plate of spaghetti and sauce, I'll mix it into mac & cheese, I mix it into baked beans, lentil soup, almost anything. 2. Same for...

    I am flabberghasted.

    How immature. Sounds like someone needs a hobby.

    Overheard conversations

    Someone mentioned eyes falling out, made me think of this. It's an overheard story of an overheard story! A two-fer: I was a kid, maybe 10 or 12. Sitting in the kitchen at my grandmother's drawing at the kitchen table and overheard this conversation between my mother and my grandmother, about a...

    MyPetChicken.Com

    They aren't the cheapest, due to low minimums, but I found their customer service to be excellent. I got almost all my chickens from them (the others are rescues) and I am very pleased. They were extremely informative, helpful and friendly. I would recommend them. Also, like Deb said, I am...

    Does your 'tude change with the seasons?

    I do not enjoy Autumn the way most people do. For me, it's a time of anxiety, because I know that winter is nearing. Winters are tough here, living alone and tough on my body and spirit. I definitely have Seasonal Affective Disorder, so as the season progresses, my mood changes, my sleep...

    Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

    I had JUST been released from the hospital after having a Total Thyroidectomy with complications from the anesthesia. I had an incision all the way across my throat covered with only a bandage and was very weak and in pain and in a bathrobe recuperating on the couch. At the time I lived near an...

    Reba McEntire concert tickets, $595.00?

    Well, I have always had free tickets to WWE because I'm good friends with a WWE wrestler. Not sure if I ever would have paid for tickets had I not known him. $600 for Reba McIntire? No way. No how. No can do. Will not do it. I'm not a fan, but even if I pick someone I am a fan of, someone I...

    What does everyone think?

    I think he has the right to take his own life. I'd like to hope he's exhausted all other possible resources first, but in the end it's his life, his decision. I do not agree however, with the wife doing it. That's an awful heavy burden for her to later bear, "Did I do the right thing?" or "Oh my...

    Why Rake?

    I don't rake. I don't see the point of it. I don't waste the energy on it. I could care less what the neighbors think. It's my property; I guess that's the joy and privilege of owning my own property and living alone. I do take a leaf blower to the front steps so myself and others don't slip...
