It amazes me how many people think that eggs will just spontaneously develop into chicks.

I get asked if they wander off all the time. People seriously underestimate how territorial chickens are.

Do the same thing with my kids. My middle son might be the only child to ever pitch a fit over not having enough tomatoes in his salad at 2-years old. And salmon is one of their favorite meats.

16 layers, 2 roosters. 3 hens are continually broody in the summer, giving the incubator and brooders a break. I keep a handful of pullets each year for winter eggs and to replace the adults that I loose periodically to predation. I hatch and sell started pullets once they are off heat and ready...

The guys at the feed store asked me this morning about how many I had right now. 45, I think. Maybe it's 50? The rabbits are easy. 5 adults and 15 kits. Just counted ALL my chickens. 46. Planning on selling at least 14 in the next week or two. And I've got two broody hens sitting on eggs.

Or when you say that you've got so many, you've lost count. I know how many layers I have, and how many are in the brooder, but I can't remember how many are between 16 and 6 weeks old.

The looks on peoples' faces when they find out I have 20 rabbits. Then the look when I answer "What do you do with all of them?" Don't ask a question if you don't want to know the answer.

Just this particular school district. It's a rural, small town sort of area.

Washington.

It's a wonderful school district. Elementary kids get 2 recesses, gym, and music class daily. Sports teams count as P.E. credits. The high school still has home ec., automotive, and wood shop classes. For such small schools, they really try to offer the most well rounded education possible. The...

1 to 2 hours of homework, per subject. Then you're supposed to have extra curriculars and hold a part time job. And that was 15 years ago. The problem is, the teachers don't communicate about what is being assigned in each class, so students can end up with ridiculous homework loads. The teacher...

One of the main reasons why I only sell chicks that are ready to be off heat. I do not have time to deal with idiots like that.

The things I've had to educate feed store employees about could fill a book. One guy wants to grow a garden inside his chicken run. He insisted that 'Of course they will eat some of it, but they won't be able to eat everything.' Yes they will. They are worse than a plague of locusts.

Here's a little tip for taking SATs. Learn your latin roots. You'll be able to breezy through the vocabulary section.

And the Spanish word for 4?

Quick question. How many people make up a musical quartette?

If it's been warm, and they have been drinking more, they will have very watery poo. Looks like they just release a bunch of water, but it's not urine.

Same here. One acre of property. One side is entirely bordered by black berries. It is not fun having to retrieve eggs in.

Absolutely correct. These kids have never had to actually deal with the consequences of failure. They didn't have to do chores to earn an allowance. They have been rewarded for no effort their entire lives. Why put it the effort for first place when everybody gets the same ribbon/award. In high...

I live on an acre of property, with a u-shaped drive way, the house positioned towards the back of the property with most of the acre as our front yard and driveway. I also live on one of the busiest roads in town. You would not believe how many random people would drive down the driveway and...
