This really is a bit of a rambling post, but I thought it could go into this category as well. For a bit of background I got married back in 1997 to a man who was nearly ten years older than me. We were married for nearly 11 years before our divorce was finalized (I had left him in 2004 because...
Today when checking my heartrate with her play stethascope
"Oh boy, I don't hear anything! You must be out of business!"
Not to long ago after bed - time prayers
"Jesus gave me a present and it was you Mommy! Jesus gave Aunt Corie a present too... it was a new pair of socks!"

Due to a mess up when I ordered my chicks, I am offering two Gold Laced Wyandotte and two Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet chicks up for sale. They were purchased from Cackle Hatchery and are about 6 days old right now. They have their Merek's vaccination and have been eating Manna Pro medicated...
that I'm still in my jammies, haven't woken my kid up and am working on my fourth cup of coffee? I feel SO LAZY today! Usually I'm right on top of everything and am huge on schedules and routines. All my animals are fed, but I'm thinking I may just let my girly sleep in til she wakes up. Hmm..
Chicken peoples, if you have power, check in and let us know you're all alright! Here in my area of MA we are still getting high winds, but we've had no significant damage. Praying for everyone!
I updated over on the Baby Chicks section, but thought I would link it here as well.
Has anyone EVER had this happen??? And if so, how did you handle it??

Here is Enoch my sweet cuddly roo
and his sister Bo Peep!
They are both out in the big kid coop now. Bo Peep is especially hard to photograph when she doesn't want to be gotten!
I'm going to be homeschooling my daughter! I did it last year for pre-school and we loved it. Any other home schooling parents out there?
When did/do you start your school year?
What curriculum do you use and why?
Do you do snow days?
What an adventure!!
This Friday I have five new baby gold laced wyandotte pullet chicks coming. They'll be about three days old when they get here. Currently I have two 15 week old EE teenagers. A pullet and a roo. The EE's are very bonded to one another and extremely affectionate to humans. I wonder how they will...
Okay, I get it. We have a massive thunderstorm headed our way, my chickens are unhappy (all two of them), so of course it would make PERFECT SENSE to go ahead and turn your leaf blower on full blast, have it making horrible sounds, etc and stick it in your back yard then walk away from it...
were your EE's when they first started laying? My little girl is 14 weeks old right now, and I'm thinking she may lay here in about 6-8 weeks. Would that be about right?
Three month old chicks went out in the coop three days ago. They seem to be enjoying running, foraging, dust bathing and eating. They even put themselves to bed last night at dusk. So I'm wondering if there's anything I can or should do to liven things up for them at all? They hear me in the...
Just placed an order for 5 gold laced wyandottes and 5 silver laced wyandottes. Can't wait to get them and am SOOOO excited! Our new coop is done as of today as well and I will raise babies inside the first 10 weeks then stransfer to the big kid coop. They'll have tons of outdoor play time as...
Hi! My chicks are now officially 7 weeks old today. I heard one of them start to try to crow this morning. It started out well and then kinda choked at the end. "cocka -doodle -urk!" Happened three times in a row and left myself and my daughter just about hysterical! Hoping for gender opinions...
I don't know if this is a problem or not, but I'm kind of concerned. I am so exhausted that I just wasn't thinking straight, had part of a sweet potato pancake on a plate on the dresser, took the chicks out of the brooder to play so I could FINALLY get some sleep here in a half hour and they...
I may just become adopted Mama to two more chicks! A friend of mine just had buff laced polish chicks hatch this morning and wwants to offer me two of them. FOR FREE! I am beyond thrilled right now!!
So, the folks who responded last time told that they think Buttercup (the white one) is a roo, and the other two are pullets. They're older now and I would love to see what the jury says this time! In order they are Buttercup 2 pics, Enoch 2 pics and Bo Peep 2 pics. Thanks!
Last Wednesday our town was ravaged by tornado's. We had two of them touch down right here in our town and do a huge amount of damage. One touched less than a quarter of a mile from my home. It looks like a bomb went off out there, right now. Houses on their sides, some just smashed, some with...
