I'm just south of Sioux Falls, by Lennox/Tea. Welcome to BYC Gypsychix-I know you ;) I have not been active on the forums lately-with the kids, the animals, my garden, trying to can, getting to fairs, etc...I'm not sure when I will have a "breather" lol! I haven't lost interest in my birds...

Posts like the "skin crawl" and "cringe" etc really make you wonder, when out in public, huh? Any time a thread like this comes out, it never fails that someone posts something that makes you look like a horrible monster for having children. Yes, they are talking about the "bad"...

You sound very busy too! Yeah, the four kid thing-I wouldn't reccomend it, I have many moments of, "What was I thinking?!" It is soo humid here today, think I'll enjoy working out inside this time; though I'd much rather be outside on a nice day. Congrats on your weight loss-I'm...
I have WHAT in my yard? :
Work out???
I don't work out. I work outSIDE!
I do that too-maybe I should just do more of that, and cut out the actual treadmill? lol!
Failing miserably at my garden, I had the bright idea of having two different garden areas (one for the trailing type plants-pumpkins, squash etc.) I seemed to have forgotten I have trouble keeping up with one! I also ordered too many chicks this year (last time I had this many-60+, I had...
Do not go out in the chicken coop with flip flops on. Toes are appetizing, apparently! I was trying to get windows open, to see if a breeze would help on this hot day, and I couldn't keep them away from my toes, lol!
My chickens absolutely love clover-I have the same white clover here, and when I go out in the mornings for chores, one of the things I always do is pull a bunch of clover/grass/dandelions and sprinkle all over their run. Their run is already all eaten down, so they need something to pick at.
I received a wonderful selection from Welp hatchery in Iowa Welp does drop ship, so I *think* this batch of chicks actually came from Privett Hatchery in NM) I have one little pullet chick that I have just fallen for, like no other. So much, that even though I'm selling some of my started...

My sister swears by that thing! She started losing weight back in September and is down over 50 pounds now!
I'm jealous of your sister... she's got me beat! hahaha
I use sparkepeople.com and love it for the same reasons, plus their recipe site is awesome too.
Oh, I love their...
I started in January, (not a New Years resolution, lol!) and I'm only down 13 lbs, but I had a son hospitalized two times, and with 4 kids total and a hectic life right now, I'm still proud of myself. I haven't given up, but have had some set backs as far as time to work out, meal choices etc.
I've been tracking my calories on Myfitnesspal.com-it has really helped me realize what I am eating on a daily basis. I'm down 13 lbs so far, but have quite a bit more to go.
Oh wow, definitely different! I'd say someone's rooster got loose in the wrong pen, lol! I would kind of wonder about the one up front-kind of looks "rooish" to me; but I'm no expert.
Our local farm and ranch supply store (Campbell's Supply) has a few bags of "Pheasant Crumbles" sitting by their front door, with clearance stickers of $6.99 on them. Plain white bag, no picture...not even sure if there was a tag on them, with protein percentage, etc. because I was carrying a...
Thank you Firefighter Chick. I did add Pedialyte to their water last night. I'm going to head to TSC this morning, and see if I can get some antibiotics in their water, to head off any other respiratory infections, the inhalation may cause. I don't think it got too heated, it was more of the...
I am usually home during the day, so would have checked on the chicks several times throughout...went in to town to help my husband mow a 2 acre lot, and mow at his boss' landscape company. I have two heat lamps in the baby chick coop, and a third sitting on a shelf, that is hooked to a...
Thanks for the support everyone. They were all packaged very well-each egg wrapped in bubble wrap, surrounded by more bubble wrap/packing peanuts etc. I didn't check the Marans eggs too close, for the fertilized spot, but none definitely developed. I haven't chucked the incubator yet; it's...
I wonder if I candled too much. I just opened them up-none of the Marans eggs developed, but I had 9 of the EE's develop-all quit at different stages, several were pretty small, two looked a bit bigger with the start of feathers coming in, and one was fully developed. I wonder if I should have...
