4 sets of tracks across my heart for Sadie, Jimmy, Evie and Earl. That's my little Sadie baby...she can peak out over the top of my shirts!
Okay....so I'm a little nuts....I earned it!

*heavy sigh*....nope...no sign of life. Every hour that goes by is another hour I move closer to acceptance. I'm so very dissapointed but knew in my heart that it was a long shot.
Thanks to all for your love and support...it has made this whole horrible ordeal a little easier...

Yes, candled them 10 days in and 2-3 looked viable...just like the pictures (the one was a "not sure but something's different"). I left them all in the bator "just in case." I have not candled them since because I have been having nightmares about dropping one that was alive and...

Thanks to all of the positive thoughts and wishes....I'm not giving up just yet!

I don't understand either...can't begin to comprehend. If it wasn't for his amazing, beautiful, joy-to-have-around 7-year-old daughter, who would miss out on A LOT of things if it were only up to Dad...I would have kicked him out He even asked if that was what I wanted. That...
Oh my....your poor baby! I have no idea what might be going on...is she eating at all? Pooping??? I had so much trouble finding people who knew anything about chickens when one of mine was having trouble. Guess you're just expected to put them down if they are sick. Maybe with so many...

Sorry...I've been boxing up thousands of greeting cards to send overseas to the troops...now that was great for the spirit. Most of them were handmade from a few elementary schools and those kids are something else. Reading them was great for both laughs and tears. This was my third...

LOL...don't know if it had of been my husband if he still would be my husband!
I understand exactly what you are saying. My advice to others would be the same....I need to follow my own advice (and yours!)....and I will...eventually. I'm a firm believer in positive energy and not...
I've always been told that my "gift" is words but have not figured out what exactly to do with them yet. I do write (amongst other things) for a free online biker magazine... www.whitelinemagazine.com. In fact, my banty hen Sadie was "chick of the month" one time. No banners, no popups, just...
I feel your pain and my heart aches for you having to do what you had to do...even though your head knows it was the right thing. Hugs from my feathered heart to yours....

Unfortunately, he (my nephew) and his adorible daughter have lived with me for over 1 year and a half and it was a nightly routine to bring the chickens in - which he was apart of just about every night. When I would open their pen, my chickens would walk right into the house through...
I haven't written on here in awhile...but I would like to tell you my story and I just know you all will understand and not think that I'm just another "crazy chicken lady." LOL.
To make a very long story as short as possible...After leaving someone else in charge of caring for my "babies" (2...
Just to brag....Sadie set on 3 eggs and she hatched out a little black fuzzball 3 days ago! Momma and baby are doing great! See, even an old banty hen of 8 years still can do it! Now my next question...can I put momma and baby back in with daddy or do I have to keep them separate until baby is...
