    Broody hen and Guinea Keets?

    I have a a broody hen whose eggs were a bust so I went out today and got her six bantam chicks to mother. She took to the babies wonderfully. I am so proud of her. While there, I saw the guinea keets. Would she mother them also? Would ten more be too many? It sure would make things easier...

    So bummed and excited at the same time

    Yeah, I wish I could but they already think I am nuts. Imagine if I started taking their breakfast away from them. I don't think that would go over too well.

    I don't have any recipes for you, just some words of advice. My husband just finished his chemo and it is amazing how his sense of taste changed. He craved carbs. Casseroles with rice or potato. Sometimes he would just want plain mashed potatos. My advice is to ask him what things he...

    help please **UPDATE**

    I'm sure it was a fox because I saw her. She was stalking one of our other hens. When it saw me, she just ran up our driveway and into the woods. Has anyone ever tried stitching up a tear? I think I am going to have to try it because it is bigger than I first thought and sliced right across...

    All who have traveled with toddlers on a plane ~ advice? Update!

    My new favorite for keeping my kids quiet during church is playfoam. I have ordered mine through Amazon. It is tiny foam beads that stick together and kids can use it like clay. The best part is that it doesn't stick to anything but itself. I love it. Here is a link. Hope it works...

    Bob the chicken

    ...seconds later, out popped an egg! Bob was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg -- his joy was overwhelming. As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife yell...... BOB, wake up. You sh*t the bed!'

    How to get labor started

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I went in again on Sat morning for a non-stress test and they decided to try to induce me again. It worked well this time. They broke my water at 5:40pm at 5cm and I had the baby at 7:02pm. Fast and furious. She had lots of peeling skin and had...

    OK, so here's the deal. I was due on Aug 28 with DD #3. Unfortuntely, this one really has a mind of her own. Any tips on how to get labor started? I feel like I have tried it all. Castor oil, eggplant, chinese food, mexican food, walking, they even tried to induce me yesterday. No luck...

    Thanks. I hadn't thought of stress from the fox. I don't think it is a snake though. We don't have many up here. Maybe it's just too cold. Kristie
