Just thought I'd start a chat thread for anyone to talk about things that are relevant to them.
Welcome friends (and friends I haven't met yet)!
Keep it family-friendly and remember BYC rules-be kind to everyone.

My local, TINY newspaper in rural western Ohio.
Great for Christmas gifts!
I have one finished so far, and the second one will be finished shortly. They are one size fits most. This is a long apron that reaches to my knees (I am 5'6").
They are $25, including shipping!
I will also do custom orders-price may be higher, depending on fabric...
I have 6 and maybe an extra or two Silver Appleyard duck eggs to send out as soon as possible. These are all fresh eggs and have been stored properly. I have been having 100% fertility here, but I cannot guarantee you will get a good hatch due to the normal factors involved in shipping eggs. I...
I am being overrun with eggs right now-fertility is 100%-I haven't had an egg yet that didn't develop! I have 6 chicks so far-one black, two blue, and three splash. I have 16 more in my incubator right now.
I have a blue rooster over 1 black hen and 4 blue hens. They are laying really well! I...
I just started working on this yesterday. I asked a friend who owns a fabric shop to pick out 4 pieces of material for me. I wanted purple, green, yellow, and white, and I got the fabric on Wednesday. It was EXACTLY what I have been searching for and couldn't find! I was so excited!
This is...
My Mille Fleur d'Uccles are laying well. I am offering 6 eggs plus extras for $20 and that INCLUDES shipping. My birds came from Schultz. I have not shown my birds-they are a hobby for me, but Rob and Kathleen have shown theirs. They have beautiful birds, and I happened to be able to get some...
I just got back into Coturnix again, after a 2-year break. My 13 quail are 11 weeks old (in a colony pen) and I have yet to get a single egg from them. What is going on? They are on Gamebird Breeder feed. I have been waiting and waiting, and nothing yet! I know when I had quail before they were...
After 52 days of incubation, I have Emu chicks!
AVining sent me two of the last eggs of the season back in March. Thanks, Annette!
I kept them in my homemade incubator for 50 days (long enough to see several batches of chicks, ducks, turkeys, quail, and guineas go through the same bator!)...
Last evening, a little girl from my church died. Shaniah turned 2 in April. She became a big sister to Shyann 2 weeks ago today. They were at her Grandparent's house. Shaniah was in her mom's car, but got out without anyone realizing it. When her aunt backed up to turn around and go home, she...
I decided to have some fun with my family last night, so I made a "reverse supper."
We ate cake first, followed by pizza:
The "cake" was a 2-layer meatloaf, frosted with mashed potatoes and decorated with ketchup and mustard:
The "pizza" was a yellow cake baked in my stoneware deep-dish baker...
I am worried, and I thought it might help to get it out in the open and deal with it. We are having an ice storm-it is sleeting right now, but we are supposed to be getting up to an inch or more of ice and then 35 MPH winds. I am home alone with 4 small children. My DH is a truck driver who does...
I just got an email from McMurray Hatchery telling me that the picture I submitted of Olivia holding my Silkie was chosen as a semi-finalist in there "that's so sweet!" category!
