    Hatching egg blowout!

    I was wondering if it's possible to do a mix of breeds. I have a hen that just decided to go broody and my kids would love to have her hatch a few, but we don't have a rooster.

    So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

    to everyone who needs them! Brief history on my mom: She was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in October. It is stage 1, but considered aggressive, so she is having chemo before surgery. She is 12 days out from her 4th (and final) A/C chemo. It has been very rough on her and she...

    Thanks everyone! Mom had her chemo port placed this morning, as well as her lymph node biopsies done. Praying for negative nodes at this point and then I will feel a LOT better!

    So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

    Hi all. I'm jumping on here b/c I am going to need all the support I can get! My mom was just diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), a less common and more aggressive form of the typical breast cancers. We go for her oncology appt and MRI tomorrow and they will schedule surgery...

    Hello (again)!!!

    Hi everyone! I am not a new member here, but have been out of the loop and not logged on for probably a year. I ended up moving to an area where I can't currently have chickens (boo), but re-homed all my babies beforehand. It is a temporary move while we wait to buy a new place in a year or...

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    Well, Kinley Jean made her arrival on 7/29 as planned! She was soooo much easier on me then my son! With him I was in labor 12 hours, pushed for 2.5 hours, and ended up having a forceps delivery with multiple tears and trauma, so I couldn't walk for 2 solid weeks. With this one I was only in...

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    Well, tomorrow is Delivery Day! Well, technically today I guess. I go in for induction in the morning at 10:30 and my doc wants me delivered by 6 pm. I told him he's being overly optimistic. LOL. But at some point during the day we'll get to meet baby girl!

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    I'm 38 weeks and 4 days and officially ready to get this kid out! I was 3 cm and 60% effaced at my appt yesterday. I've had a good pregnancy all in all, but have reached that point where I can no longer sleep, can't get anything done b/c I'm so winded/overheated, and am just generally...

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    It's not getting the baby's stuff ready that I'm stressed about, it's getting all the OTHER stuff done that I've been wanting to do since the last baby was born (2 years ago!) and haven't had time to do. Lord knows I will have even less time now! Sigh...6 days left and I'm working 3 14-hr...

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    I haven't checked in lately, so thought I'd drop by. I'm 37w2d, so almost there! Induction is set for the 28th if baby girl doesn't decide to come sooner. I have been in the nesting/organizing/cleaning out phase for about 2 weeks and am completely wearing myself out with it. I wish I had...

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    Litter boxes are ok as long as you wear gloves and wash hands afterwards. Common sense mainly with the chickens, wash hands if you get poo on them, wear a face mask if you're going to stir up a bunch of dust cleaning the coop or something. I do everything I've always done, including lugging...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    I have had some bad luck along the way too, multiple times. I lost my last fluffy roo when it got hot this year, but am suppose to be getting 2 more at the end of the month. As far as the girls go I have 4 F2's, 2 F3's, and 4 of alice's line B hens (2 of which I hatched and 1 is fluffy, the...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    At this point I would call them all hens, but the Ameraucanas tend to trick me, so maybe someone else will chime in.

    Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

    Ugh! I hate hearing stories about the baby dying after the 1st trimester! Not that I wish a miscarriage on anyone, but 25% of pregnancies that are started end in a miscarriage in the first trimester, so the odds are there. But to be only a few weeks from a viable baby...ugh! I'm 31.5...
