    Unsure of breeds; hoping somebody can help.

    Did you try clicking on the picture of Sunny to blow it up bigger? I think I posted thumbnails that will enlarge if you click on them. She has a slight comb and little wattles so far..they're just starting to take on some color. I got all of these as newly hatched chicks (minus Sally, the...

    Dog Attack

    Sorry I'm so late in updating.. My husband tried repeatedly to speak to the owners, but they were never there. Sunday evening, he pulled into our driveway to find both of the German Shepards in our yard, in the vicinity of the chicken/rabbit. He fired a warning shot and then followed the dogs...

    Dog Attack

    I just got started with chickens this year, and today I lost my gorgeous 6 month old Cochin rooster. I raised him from the time he was 2 days old, he rode around in my shirt while he was still little enough. He was my very first chicken, my baby. Along with him, I lost my 5 month old Silky...

    Post Your Animal Kodak Moments HERE!!!!!!!

    This is the face of a young lady who just got caught digging up a flowerbed. This is the "Don't be mad at me! Look how pretty I am!" cover of Playfowl magazine pose.. My wonderful husband took a couple of minutes out of his busy work schedule yesterday to dig up some worms for the girls...

    RANT - she stole my ribbons! ( slightly long)

    Quote: I have to agree with what others have said. She's not your friend; a friend would not do what she's done and when a friend makes an honest mistake, she apologizes for it and does whatever necessary to make it right. My guess would be that she's one of those people who has no real...

    Okay, if I were to move where should I go................

    Quote: It's so funny how different we all are! I lived in Knoxville for a bit and I couldn't get back out of there fast enough. where'd you live and why didn't you like it? Just curious! To be honest, I wasn't there long and it was somewhere I went to live with somebody who already lived...

    Freecycle ad just rubbing me wrong.

    The discipline in public vs discipline at home thing never made any sense to me. Why do some parents refuse to discipline their children-on any level-just because they're out somewhere? If I acted up as a child..which didn't happen often, it was dealt with and I wasn't given any leeway because...

    My Neighbors Kid.... Grrr.

    ...the most about this whole situation is that we're (as a society) at a point where it must be assumed that we'll have to explain to another parent *why* what his child did is inappropriate and unacceptable. Remember the days when a kid who was dumb enough to do something wrong got in...

    My DD has Scarlet Fever!

    Quote: Aw. Hope she feels better soon! Since she was 5, my youngest has gotten strep twice a year, and half of those times she's had the rash, too. This is the first year we've made it through fall/winter with NO strep/sf! WooHoo!

    Other people's kids! Aaaagh!

    ..."I don't care how you speak to your mother when you're at home or anywhere else away from here-that's her problem, but when you're at my house, you *will* speak to everybody-including your mother-politely. You *will* do as you're told and you *will* be respectful of others and other people's...

    The weirdest thing you have seen on the highway.

    Quote: EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Summerlin, . Ummm....our roads are fairly normal. There was a toilet and a car seat one time though! And the illegally killed cow elk that I was able to observe from freshly killed through white bones... This reminded me of...

    The weirdest thing you have seen on the highway.

    ...right over him. It was one of the most horrific, traumatic things I've ever been through. I didn't see him well enough before he was hit for *me* to be sure he was gone before he was hit. My husband and our friend say it appeared that he'd been shot in the head and dumped..but because I...

    Okay, if I were to move where should I go................

    Quote: Oh... I know! I know! KNOXVILLE!!! Seriously, it's the perfect place to live. It only snows a few times a year and always melts within a day or two. Avg. temp for the coldest months is in the 40's. No hurricanes, very very few tornados and no earthquakes. We have the mountains, we...

    Do squirrels steel chicken eggs

    Well, this just figures. I *just* walked back in the house from checking on two of my younger girls who are scratching around under the bushes by the porch. The baby squirrel (well, I guess he's not a BABY, but he's still very small) that I've been seeing around was hanging on the tree about 4...

    early labor and delivery

    Quote: We have two daughters and our oldest was about 2 months early. I had a placental abruption and went into labor, which my doctor was able to stop, and when I left the hospital a few days later I was on continued meds and bed-rest. He didn't think I'd make it more than a couple more...

    Getting less and paying more.

    ...trees in our yard are really young/small. The cherry tree had already done it's thing by the time we moved in last year and the pear tree managed *one* pear..which fell off and started to rot before I could get to it. A friend, who was *helping* us take down some unhealthy trees dropped...

    Okay, if I were to move where should I go................

    My vote would be for somewhere in the area of Matthews, Gloucester or parts of Middlesex County (Virginia). Being on the east coast, there is obviously still a chance of hurricanes, but it's also obviously not nearly as high as in Florida. We have four seasons, each of them tends to be...
