Welcome to my BYC Web Page!!!
Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I live in Shadow Hills, CA.
I am married to a wonderful man named Richie. He proudly serves our country in the U.S. Army Reserves, and he's an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran.
I am the lucky mother of a very smart, very...
I love it when they do the squat... when I was little, I always thought that they did it to let us pick them up. I kinda chuckled when, as an adult doing research, I found out that it has nothing to do with letting a bunch of kids pick them up How exciting though!
...shade that drastically? Also, like I said, it's smaller ( I know there won't be much size consistency for a while but do they get smaller often?)
***Edited after I did some research
As I understand it, RIR's lay rich medium brown eggs, BR's lay lighter brown/ eggs, and Australorps lay just...
We have a Barred Rock - 24 weeks, a RIR - 23 weeks (confirmed laying), Australorps - 21 weeks, Easter Eggers - 17 weeks, and a Brahma - 16 weeks. As I said, the RIR has been seen laying. Anyways, it looks like two of the Australorps, or the Barred Rock will start laying next. They are...
I was so positive this morning, I took as many pics as he'd let me, I smiled the whole freakin time, and all seemed good.
Then when the words " Time to say good bye to mommy", came out of the directors mouth, he FLIPPED FLIPPED FLIPPED OUT! Kicking Screaming... the whole bit...
I'll never...
After absolute heck, trying to find a Preschool that I liked, tomorrow is Kade's first day!
I don't know if I want to break down (AGAIN) and cry, or jump up and down for joy because I've raised him this far without him getting eaten by a goose or chickens, etc lol ... My baby isn't a baby...
I've been crazy busy but I've been wanting to post this since Friday! We got our first egg, on Friday morning! Our second on Saturday morning, on Sunday she rested, and today, we got the third! My husband called me, excited because he found out who was laying... our 22 week old RIR. I can't...
I am absolutely speechless.
I am so sorry. I thought it was awful when I had a miscarriage in the first trimester.... that was nothing. As I said I am speechless. Just soooo sooooo sorry.
I am thankful that you made it through the delivery. Please please take care of yourself, and keep...
My condolences to you and your family.
Through all this, I feel like we all REALLY KNOW you!
You are an amazing person, beautiful inside and out... I'm convinced your mother is proud!
My grandma is very much the same as your mom... I have a long story but I will keep it short (promise )
My aunt has had health problems... ended up living with my grandma... Grandma was so mean to her. One day my cousin said to my aunt, come live w/ me. My aunt lived with my cousin for a...
Oh gosh, I am so sorry for you.... I know no words that I can say will make this any better. I am just praying for you, your mom, and your family. Please remember that you are all family and everyone deals with loss differently.
Have patience, and know that even though your mom, as you put...
Tonini, my prayers are with you. We haven't herd anything from you since this morning...
I pray that you mom's passing is peaceful, and I'm sure the Lord will call her home soon. Look back on her life, you'll see what her purpose here on earth was, and from how you've explained her, it was a...
Congrats Kargo! It is SO special to have a great friendship with a kindred spirit! Be kind to each other, and NEVER loose touch. High school is such a great time in your life, and there's lots going on. My best friend and I have kept in touch and here we are almost ten years after high...
My husband got a great job that we thought was hopeless!
It's good paying, great benefits, and darn near permanent ... It's a civilian Army job, very close to home.
I know a few of you had been saying prayers for us... THANK YOU and thank God!
We are very happy, and very...
I didn't mention this earlier, but everyone is probably right about the depression. People said that to me, and in a way, it felt like I didn't want to admit to that because it made me feel like my feelings weren't valid. Does that make sense? Anyway, I thought that I'd duplicate the...
I was in the middle of writing you a novel... but I decided you have a lot of good advice already posted here. I was in a funk not long ago, and all I can say is that you have all the power in the world to make things change. You may not want to do anything about it right now but if you force...
Thanks for the feedback...
One other question... do you think they'll go up their ramp to where i originally intended for their nestboxes? Or is 18" the highest that's recommended?
If you look to the left side of the coop, the top door is where I wanted to access the nests from. You can kind...
