This is so cool yet funny at the same time. And will maybe hopefully lighten the mood a little bit lol

And then adults that I lost...

2 Bantam Cochins.

Damn Summer of 2018 sucked!

I'm sorry, Cy. That's really rough.
I wish I could do something.

I don't do clutter. Anywhere. My closet, my dresser, my kitchen, my bathroom... nowhere. I hate it! I go through all my clothes every year - if I haven't worn it, goes to the Goodwill. I find as I get older that I don't really buy anything anymore. Most of my furniture was given to me and I don't have much of it.
Had a friend stay at my place while I was on vacation and she informed me that I have the least "woman friendly" bathroom she's ever been in and she went home every day to get ready for work! It's true though. I don't own a brush. I don't own a blow dryer. I don't have any spare makeup or any makeup at all. I don't even have face wash because I just use water... That's how much I hate having crap laying around!

I. Would. Die.
DIE.

Oh I just realized that this would be a fantastic time to make a thread about the performance of my wooden incubator.
With various breeds and a few test runs already hopefully it will turn out well.
Just wondering if anyone would follow.

I would follow!!

I'm catching up.

My Australorp hen is livid that I've locked her out of 2 of 3 nesting boxes.

Oh my goodness, that made my night!

Hey, yeah... you Dr Who watching weirdo!
Do you watch violent television shows? I find my dreams are pretty impacted by what I am consuming as a viewer... that and cheese. If I eat a lot of cheese, I have weird ass dreams.

I fell asleep and was woken up by a dream.

I can relate a lot of dreams to things I watch, maybe more than half. The very bad ones are the same old nightmares but “triggered” by whatever stupid scene got to me from whatever we were watching that day.
At one point I had a “dream journal” where I forced myself to write down everything I could remember as soon as I woke up, and I very quickly started having crazy lucid dreams.. that got really weird and messed with my head and memory so I stopped that.
If anyone actually wants to remember their dreams better, I highly recommend trying that. I don’t, so.. but it’s easy to do and doesn’t take long to start working.

As for the killing poll, I voted yes but always in self defense. We always have at least 1 pistol and 1 rifle loaded in the house for home defense, but when the husband leaves on business trips I make sure to keep one close to me at all times. Usually on my night stand... it never fails the first night he is gone I have a dream that I am under attack by someone and have to return fire...so weird...has become a joke, this last trip just last week his employee going with him warned me of the up coming dream.....

At what age does the red show up in your cockerels wings?

Idk never really paid attention I look at chest feathers to differentiate males and females. And pullets then get split between brown and Wheaton by chest feathers also. Most breeds throw both brown and Wheaton and most more of one or the other.

I own brushes and combs (out of necessity... my hair is 2'+ long) but that's it. I might have some 90's relic of a hair dryer around somewhere, but if I still have it it's stored with chicken care supplies.

Yup, especially after reading some of these most recent ones just awful

What did your parents say?

I don't believe I ever told mine. I could be wrong, though---that was decades ago and my memory is fuzzy.

*cough* 287 *cough*

Close enough
I knew that the upcoming season would make 300. I can't wait to see what they do for it.
