My roosters are crowing and mating and my girls are laying, but I don't know when the eggs are fertilized now or not. I'm scared to pick them up and candle them, in fear of hurting the chick inside, if there is one. My hens aren't the broody kind of chickens, except for our Golden Comets, and...
My daughter just came home from elementary school one day and immediatley went out to feed the chickens. One bit her, and I heard words I didn't think she even knew yet! I went out to ask her who she got that word from, and she said, "The SCHOOLS, mom! Everyone says it!"

And the reason we're all talking about fireflies is because you have to put that if you read the rules. It just lets me know if you read them or not!
Wow...I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the amazing bantams. Great job, everyone! (and even though they aren't really bantams, great pics, hcammock!!)

What I learned to do is
1. Catch the chicken
2. Flip it over on it's back in your lap...G E N T L Y.
3. Support it's head with one hand
4. Stroke it's stomach or breast and it gets hypnotized
5. Make a loud noise and it flips over really fast and runs away at the speed of light.
Another thing...
