Good morning! Sorry ithas beenso long since I last posted. I have been checking in now and then. I worked part-time this summer for our summer school program. The extra cash was nice, but it sure did make my summer feel short. I've got two full weeks off before going backto the grind. I went to...

Good morning. I am home with my son today. He seems to have had a reaction to the immunizations he got on Tuesday. His arm is red and hot and he has a cough that kept him up till after 11 last night. I'll be calling the doctor shortly. I also had some lovely babies hatch yesterday (and one more...

Bradenton is just 30 minutes south of me. I know a breeder down that way, I will send him a PM and find out, as I don't know if he lives within the city or outside it. My SIL is down there, and it is a lovely area for raising a family. Paradise, it sounds like you had a wonderful trip to...

Very nice! My BLRW is still perky, but one eye is still completely shut and I don't know what else to do for her. I came home early today due to not feeling well, so now I am on the couch catchong up with you fine folks. Going to make some Echenechia tea now and try and nap. I must have woke up...

So sorry, rngbill. I hope you fing a place to call home where you can garden and raise chickens to your heart's content. No, Quercus, no babbies for me. I am hosting a shower for me sister in law, who shocked the you know what out of me when she said she is having another one with her boyfriend...

Hello, folks. I know I haven't posted in a while. We went to Colorado for a week and had a great time. Skiing, hiking, seeing the sites. Work is the usual craziness. I'm planning a baby shower, my son's birthday party, and a little something for my boyfriend's birthday. Oesgog, hang in there...

That's a very attractive water dish! And I bet it keeps the water nice and cool. I hope everyone is doing okay. I had a big test for work on Friday, which I somehow managed to pass, even though it was all about being a great teacher. Now I am trying to get us ready to go to Colorado on Friday...

Sorry about your chicken, rngrbill. That's tough. I'm just starting to feel better. My son was diagnosed with broncittis, so he is on an antibiotic. The poor guy just hacks and hacks. Very hard for mama to listen to. :( I hatched 9 outof 10 ducks this weekend. Sold 6 so far, four more to...

Good morning Oesdog, I just caugh up on this thread, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I have either a bad cold or allergies, so I am going to try and take it easy today. Just laying on the couch with my coffee and ipad. We got a rain storm that just let up, but the wind is still...

Whew, what a week. Frustrating kids and even more frustrating school system beuracrats. I'm so tired I could take a nap on the couch, but I have family coming over shortly. I've got turkey chilli in the crock pot, and a nice wet rainy day to match. rngrbill, the dishevelled feathers and...

Good morning, folks. Having a cup of coffee at home, as my son had "tummy issues" at school yesterday, so he can't go today, even though he hasn't had any more since I picked him up. Oh well, yesterday was a crazy day at work and I could use a break. The weather is cooling down again, which is...

She is going to give me hatching eggs. Hopefully a little darker than what Madelide laid (although they did seem darker after she moulted). My crazy leghorn is still going strong, and was the only one laying while the rest were on strike this fall. I would have had to BUY eggs if it hadn't been...

Hi there, folks. No coffee, but a nice, tasty beer right now. I need it after a busy day that included 2 hours at a Chucky Cheese birthday party. Do they honestly think they need to place noise makers at each table? Sample packs of asprin is a better idea. Good lord, was it LOUD! I also went to...

My swap went well. I sold two hens and a pullet and bought two Buckeyes and one Russian Orloff ( all three for a deep swap-host discount). I'm so excited about the Buckeyes. I've wanted one of those for a long time. I also sold some eating eggs and duck hatching eggs, and took two pre-orders for...

Good morning! I'm in a training that is just not keeping my attention on this rainy Friday morning. I'm having my third swap tomorrow. I have a lot of vendors coming, and Now I'm worrying about how many people will come to buy. We should have a beautiful day for a swap, and I'm really excited...

Glad you found her! My week did not get any better. Two more fights, one in which my student started striking two staff members, so that ended in an arrest for him. He hasn't been in trouble with the law for over 4 years. =( We are pretty sure it is gang related. Today is a traing day, so at...

Best of luck to you, rngrbill. Hope you get it all straight, especially for those who come after you with chickens! Mathace - funny quote about the submarine hatch. I was going to take a picture of my BCM today and show you an updated version to see what you think of her coloring coming in...

Good morning! Excited to hve a day off, but gotta take my son to the dentist, then do a bit of landscaping at the rental propery. Math ace, both this house and the little rental (that I lived in before this house) have "florida fireplaces" - too small to be of much use. I had to have the liner...

A knotty pine floor sounds lovely, queercus. It is a cold day here, high of 60. My son is just getting over a cold/ fever. My chickens are finally laying again, too. :D i have got to get some eggs sold at my swap to make up for what I have spent on feed. I bought that new omega 3 layer feed, but...

Whew! Lots of differences on here! I do miss the option to see the most recent posts you have made, and if someone has posted a reply. Unless I missed it? That is quite strange, Oesdog. I believe you have faries in you nest boxes, and they are up to mischief. ;)
