    Sapphire Gem- Roo or Hen?

    So here’s the story... someone reached out to me needing to rehome their chicken. They thought they had a “she,” but then they heard her try to crow. They separated her from the flock for the week, and she didn’t lay an egg. The problem is, I don’t have an exact hatch date other than sometime...

    Switching Brands of Feed

    So I had a hack of a weekend at work and I ran out of chick food. Like, they’re out out. I was feeding Purina Start & Grow unmedicated, but the only thing our local store has is Rancher’s Choice Unmedicated. I’ll never make it to the next town over to get the purina Before the store closes. Is...

    Food Coloring for Chicks?

    I have 4 (almost) two week old buff Orpington Chicks that I’d like to differentiate. Would it be ok to do a drop of food coloring (not red) on their chest? If so, do I rub it in until it’s dry? I’ve never raised chicks before, just always had started pullets. They’re in the same tank as two...

    He Popped the Question!!!! *Pic of the ring enclosed*

    SO did it! He bit the bullet and proposed last Sunday! I took him to the St. Louis Arch on the way home from Arkansas (since he had never been and I have been there [more than 10 years ago]) Of course, I am terrified of heights so I start panicking while we were standing in line for tickets to...

    Meet the new addition!

    Yes, crate training last night was fun. She was NOT IMPRESSED (and she was sure to let us know about it) when we put her to bed, but as much as it broke my heart, I stuck to my guns and she (and I) survived the night

    Meet the new addition!

    Chris and I got a puppy tonight! She's 8 weeks old. The mother was a Welsh Corgi and the father was either a Welsh Corgi or a Jack Russell. We gave her a bath as soon as we got her home because she lived in the barn and had cow poop caked on her legs, dried her off, and now she's sleeping, all...

    Mom diagnosed with breast cancer... UPDATE POST 9

    The MRI came back negative on the right breast. She is scheduled for a left mastectomy on Friday and I am scared to death, but I have to be strong for her. I didn't sleep at all last night. Our next hurdle is of course getting her through the surgery, then hope that the biopsy from the lymph...

    I know I haven't been on for a while... I guess nursing school has kind of consumed my life. That being said, I could really use some prayers right about now. My mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer, ductal cell. She has the best surgeon in the world on her case (or at least I'm confident...

    Got a Knock on the Door Today...

    Well, I did it. I let him in. Inspection took all of 10 minutes or less, and the only thing he found wrong was that we have no vent for the stove. Guess I was worried for nothing.. Oh, and by the way, I never said anything about shooting a city official...
