    Cry then get angry?

    ... Or maybe the other way around, or both at once. Honestly, I got to a point today where I didn't know what to feel other than blistering hatred, which is not like me usually. Read this very short article please; http://www.ktul.com/Global/story.asp?S=13520403 Now this "church" which...

    Great Xmas gift price for little ones

    Okay, I was all done Christmas shopping except for stocking stuffers and I want to pick my daughter up a new mattress pad, her's is looking a bit ratty. Anyway... when my daughter came home from work last night she said Toys R Us was having a big sale on games, especially games for little...

    very red neck brooder PICs

    I have quickly become familiar with chicken math. My daughter and I decided to get some chicks this fall to grow up over the winter. Since the demand for eggs was a good deal higher than our 6 hens could supply, we thought we'd go big. So... we decided to order 18 for ourselves and 7 for a...

    the Halloween/birthday party is over *pic heavy

    It was fun, but tiring and I'm glad it's over. My Grandson's b'day is November 3rd, but the weekend before is Halloween and everyone has things to do. So this year, for his 5th birthday we decided to just let him invite his pre-K class and make it Halloween themed. Since we're kinda far out I...

    Another visitor to the yard

    Yesterday, when my daughter got home from work, I heard her get out of the car and say to her son, "watch where you're walking, don't step on him". I think this is a male as he's not very big, the ones I've seen with egg sacks or babies are quite a bit bigger. Had to keep the dogs in for a...

    Is anyone else waiting for a chick order? CHICK PICS!!

    I'm waiting for my very first hatchery order, which is shipping from Welp in New Mexico. They're due to ship Wednesday and hopefully will be here by Friday. I ordered so many different breeds/colors, I don't know how I'm going to tell my 26 chicks from the 7 ordered for someone else. My...

    Welp hatchery

    I submitted an online order to Welp yesterday. They had several of the breeds we wanted and most other hatcheries are out of almost everything. My chicks are supposed to mail next Wednesday. Has anyone done business with Welp, and were you happy with them & their chicks? ETA: Guess I should...

    Our uninvited guest has left

    Such a gorgeous night! All the windows open (screened), front door standing open (no screen door). A few moths came in. So I'm looking towards my daughter, behind her is the door. I said, "Umm, a bat just flew in". At first she thought I was kidding, I wasn't. Poor thing couldn't find the...

    Oh boy - what have I done?

    Oh boy, now I've gone and done it. I've had 6 hens now for 1 year. We enjoy them so much we want to build a big coop. I've been arguing with myself for about 3 weeks now about ordering chicks now instead of waiting until spring. So very far away. Me: Coop's not ready, don't order...

    Future coop? pic heavy

    A little background; My daughter and her 2 kids moved in with me when I bought this place at the end of April. So, we've been here almost 5 months now and love it. We have 36 acres, 20 of it in woods. She will be 37 in a few days, I'm in my 60s, have had back surgery and have very arthritic...

    my very 1st chick or maybe the 2nd

    A bit of background. This is my first experience with chickens. My Gold Laced Wyandotte went broody several weeks ago. I do not have a rooster, so she was just sitting on everybody's eggs. I have 6 hens and they were all laying in the same nest and Dottie would sit on them. Even a move from...

    Any cake decorators?

    You can blame my son for this one. He called about 2 weeks ago to say Thanksgiving was at his house this year. Thanksgiving? I said, "son, you know it's July, right?". He and his wife have had their house now for 3 years. They "did" Thanksgiving last year, but didn't have nearly as many...

    my new place

    Hi all. It has been quite some time since I've had time to actually read and post to the BYC. I haven't had internet access at home in over a year. Yeah - I'm back. I'll try not to confuse anyone with this story. A few years back I was layed off from work (after 28 years). I decided to...

    life update and reintroduction

    This could get long. My name is Sue, I'm in Oklahoma and I turned 61 in March. I haven't been around for quite some time. No internet service at home, only when I'm at my daughter's. And when I'm here I'm sitting with the Grands and don't have time. But I've missed all your wisdom and...

    (Pic) Too hot for chickies too

    I don't expect anyone remembers, but 3 months ago I thought I'd try raising a few chickens. I was thinking between 3-6, after I got a coop of some kind. Then my daughter & I stopped one day at the feed store - SHE was shopping for a barrel for her pigs. My Grandson (age 3) and I were walking...

    what have I done? - updated pics

    A couple years ago I was laid off from a job of 28 years. Shortly after that a 5 acre place, right across the road from my Daughter & family, came up for sale. Out in the country where I wish I'd been all my life. My Daughter & son-in-law let me know right away as places out here don't last...
