They are still ridiculously cute. The Rhode Island Reds are the smallest. The Wyandottes are all about the same size and two of the Silvers are little TALK-A-TIVE. They stand up and move their little beaks and peep peep peep for all they're worth. Amy and Janis, the Amera-whatsits, flap and...
I agree with Hoosier. You're living in your home. You have your own set of priorities. First of all,you had no obligation to let him in and second, your home doesn't have to live up to his standards of what home is. You probably felt worse than he did.
There was a really well written, funny post about today's venture into the wild world of sports to get FloridaChickenChick's chickens. It got deleted.
Suffice to say that it was an awesome day, Joann and her family are wonderful and generous people, and we had a great trip there and back and...
Conny, are you psychic?
After my husband watched them for a few minutes, he said (very calmly, to his credit), "That's not nine."
I came home with two Ameracuanas (sp) in addition to the nine we had planned on (it started out as THREE...honey, can I please just have three little...

Happy for you and Whiny!
Keep at it! I think it's awesome that you're so open to everyone's advice and that you're caring for Whiny 'round the clock. You go girl! I hope she keeps improving and that the food will help.
That stinks. I'm sorry. It's totally not fair that it happened to a bike, too-- you were being good to the planet!
Glad DH of BFF is going to report it... Hopefully the police will then do something about it. Especially if you're sure of who took the bike. I hope it comes back to you!
Looks shmancy! Especially the back, where you collect the eggs. All those hinges... I could never keep track, I just hammer and hold stuff when I'm told.
Way to go on all that recycling! And I love the rooster, of course. I think the goal netting is a really good idea: the girls can still have...
Hello!
I'm close to Orlando, a couple hours to the north. The west coast is so pretty. There are some great posts in the Coop & Run Design section that might be helpful to you in the way of ideas. You will quickly develop "favorite" threads, and that is one of mine.
Good luck with your...

Excellent point! DH and I used to go on about how nice it would be to buy from farms instead of the store but never made it work until this year. We have a long way to go, but... It's like we eat our food with more thanks and we relish it better, knowing that someone not so far away put...
Since your daughter has a pretty mature understanding of death (she "gets" it, like you say), especially for someone her age, I would recommend asking her. Explain as much as you feel is right and help her determine what she thinks is the best thing to do.
It's hard either way. Good luck to you...
I wouldn't be surprised if she was comforting the other chick just to be lovey and nice. She gets that good behavior from her momma!
So glad you had your phone so you could take the picture. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.

Good one!
Thanks, I cheated and Googled name trios. Found that from someone looking for trio names for hamsters.
Awww, hahaha. But would a hamster by any other name smell as... Hamster-y?
Coke wins for me in the Coke v. Pepsi comparison...
But my FAVORITE is the Jupiña stuff from Mexico (but I don't like Jarritos). I don't know the brand, but it comes in these cheery orange cans and it is sooooooo good. There was a fruit/vegetable market we used to go to years ago that had...
Barbie, Stacey, Kelly.
Grace Kelly, Jean Harlow, Bette Davis (gee-orgeous women namedropped in Vogue)
You could also name the birds after the American Idol winners of your choice, starting with Kelly Clarkson.
