Happy Birthday Sam!

Hi Sam I hope all is going well with you. I saw on the news yesterday that the company NECC has finally been charged for the tainted steroids they distributed to unsuspecting patients like Granny two years ago. I could not believe the beautiful home the owners live in that was paid for with...

7 Biddies I lived in Worcester for a few years when my husband and I first got married. Now we live about 20 minutes from worcester in a town called Charlton. Do you ever get out this way?

EweSheep, wouldnt it be nice if you could spend winters in Florida though. If I ever won the lottery I would buy a house up here in New England for the summer, preferably on the ocean. I would also buy a winter home in Florida. Right after New Year's I would go there until April, and miss the...

That is so true about the cost of feed. If older birds are kept, they might as well just be considered pets, because they are not really contributing much. The only thing they are supplying is manure for the garden. I have thought about just getting a few new chicks every spring, to make sure...

I bought 7 day old chicks, they are now 4 weeks old. Here's hoping that they are all hens like they are supposed to be. I could probably deal with one rooster, but since I let my chickens out in the yard everyday with my kids around I would rather not have a rooster. I am just hoping one day one...

Hi Opa and whoever else is around. Hoping everyone is doing well, especially after this really harsh winter. Spring is here and time for yard work and soccer. I am temporarily down to five chickens. That will increase very soon. We are doing well and so happy that the snow has melted. How are...

Hi Opa, Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Life is pretty good here can't complain. And if I did nobody would listen anyway:).

Hi Opa, Just checking in to see how your mother is feeling. I hope she is done with her medication and feeling much better! I don't know if it is just me, but it seems like since the changes on BYC, it is hard to stay in touch with everyone. Makes me very glad that Sam started this thread.

It is awful how someones poor work ethic and gross negligence can affect someone else hundreds or thousands of miles away. From what was being said on the news you could see the contamination with just the naked eye. I just don't understand how some people can care so little. At least the...

Sorry to hear about your Mother's health trouble Sam. Did she have one of those shots that were made ib the contaminated lab in Framingham, MA? That place is about a half hour away from me, and it has been all over the news out here. Shame on them for putting wonderful people like Granny at...

Hope everyone is doing well. It is getting cold here, it was about 22 degrees when I woke up this morning. My chickens are not thrilled with this cold weather, but neither am I. Getting ready to drop youngest off at preschool and brave the long lines to vote. That is a joke seeing that my...

that was a cool demonstration on how to separate an egg using a water bottle. Highlander, it is so amazing that you all have the opportunity to move to another country and learn a new culture. I am sure you will find something to do, but being in new surroundings must be so exciting and a...

I wish my boys liked to read. They do the reading required by school, but getting them to crack a book for enjoyment is another story. I don't get it, because I love to read. I go to the library a couple times a month and fill up my bag with books. They do love to play outside, so that makes...

You should be very proud of your sons Opa! My husband and I are trying to raise our children the same way. You teach by example, and it sounds like you set a very good example for them.

Both! Either way I am getting off easy. Well, maybe not. He does the lawn, weed whacking, trash and chickens for 25 dollars a week. It seems pretty cheap until I figure in room and board and clothes. Seeing that he is 14 and built like a linebacker (eats like one too) maybe it is not so...

Just popping on to say hi. Hoping everyone is doing well. School is almost out for the summer, most of the yardwork is done. The garden is mostly planted, it would be all finished but it seems like every time I have a chance to do it it is raining out. My oldest has taken over the care for...

Well, as usual it seems I am a day late and a dollar short as the saying goes, I haven't been on much lately and I missed these wonderful pictures everyone has been talking about. I just keep telling myself spring is almost here...every year winter just seems longer and longer.

That is too funny Opa, I could see myself doing that. There have been times when I left the keys in the front door of my house. My husband gets really miffed at that. Well spring must be on the way because I just had a jump in egg production. Yayyy! I don't need to buy eggs anymore.

Good morning all! Hope everyone is doing well. We are still snowless here in Central MA. We have had a couple of snows, but then it warms up an melts. I told hubby that I am getting spoiled, until yesterday when it went down to 15degrees faranheit. Still it is a lot milder than it ususally...
