Re: craziest chicken question: probably the one I got asked about a listing of straight run chicks. "Do they lay eggs?"

I've got one to tell on myself with... when I first started considering chickens, before I had even decided for sure to get my own, I didn't know what a pullet was. I thought it was another word for chick ! I remember seeing "sexed pullets" in a bin at a store and thinking: well what sex are they???

Me too! I quickly looked it up and learned what it meant. I know better now!

My neighbor got chicks before me and invited me over to see her "pullets" so I asked her and she enlightened me. Hehehe!

After days of effort I've finally caught this baby with the help of my girls! And my assumption was correct; Wild as a march hare and skin and bones & very dehydrated. My heart is broken for this little one but I'm so relieved to get it help finally.

@dpenning what was your baby's name that was lost? I'm thinking it may have to be my baby's name sake.

ETA: I meant @The Farmers' Daughter ! (Not sure why I thought spending for a sec-told y'all brain fart queen!) what was your baby's name that was list one year ago? How strange and awesome that we find this one on this day? It's kind of cool!

I'm not sure this was meant for me, not sure what you are referring to a lost baby?

@jwyles it was The Farmers' Daughter who lost her kitty last year.

It wasn't! I went back and edited my post actually before I ever even saw this. I have no idea why it was dpenning that just popped into my head for the lost kitty, but I've tagged the right person now! Thanks Ursuline!
