Wow that was a lot of pages to catch up on, lol. Pics of Bravo, Echo, and Foxtrot. Per my notes, all three hatched about 2 months ago.
Bravo, pretty sure he is half speckled sussex. Starting to get green in the tailfeathers and he made a few squeaky crows about a week ago, so I'm sure he is a boy.

Echo, very friendly and relaxed.

Foxtrot, not really friendly but not super freaked out. Doesn't like to be touched but will tolerate it.

Bravo has quite the comb

I think I've heard of that. It's just situational, correct? Not a constant medication?

correct it would be taken in anticipation of an event

 

[sdm111]

If plans change and let's say the event wouod be cancelled or something then no harm no foul cause unlike benzos it does not make you feel "loaded". Which is what I like i dont want to feel loaded I just want to feel normal

That's good. I haven't really looked into standard medication because I don't want to come within 200 feet of a doctor's office ever again.

Matter of fact that's why I started back into chickens about 5yrs ago as workplace stress therapy

I've never dreamt it, but I've worked retail, so you can bet I've planned it. From the murder weapon to where i'd hide the bodies. Only forensic files has keep me back on some of them. Well that and Jesus.

Hmm. Maybe we should talk... Study more. You can win!

I don’t know how hubby deals with the swamp foot.

Tea tree oil nightly before bed. 3 pairs of boots and alternate while the others dry. I find the tea tree oil works better than the other antifungals. Even with the stink to high heaven.

I have a whole plate of boneless rotisserie chicken available to all cute pugs.

ewww. That's an oxymoron.

Um, yeah. That might take awhile - it got crazy. I was just about dying. Banty is freaking hilarious and so very witty. She clearly wins.

NO! You can't admit that to Batty. It just builds her up and inflates her already overinflated ego. <she did get a few good ones in!! Just a few, though.>

I thought she meant Dean Martin

She didn't??

That's only Banty to you, thanks muchly.

Good morning! I'm up early anyway.

Yes, the undead don't sleep.

Try anyway. I am a fantastic role model.

Too cute. Way too cute.

Been thinking about you Batty! It's dipping down to the low 80's. Downright cool.

Good morning all. What a whole lotta goat poop to catch up. I can't believe anyone didn't offer Blue Bell on top of the pie. I mean, a crispy peach cobbler steaming from the oven covered with melting Blue Bell that trickles into the tiniest recesses of the cobbler crunchies. Topped with a generous splash of cinnamon and sugar. Followed by a nice hammock to lounge around on.

When a broody is hatching eggs and you count from the day after you place them under her, is it a fixed 21 days? Or can it be early? From the conversations I've been reading, the answers are it can be anytime around the 21st day for the first external pip. Therefore, a potential pip could happen anytime between now and never?

Hey, my hat's already the size of Niagara Falls, a few more compliments won't hurt.

Yes, the undead don't sleep.

Busted. So I guess you've figured out that the bridge thing was from experience, huh? Don't try it. Replacement eyes are a bear to find.

Too cute. Way too cute.

I'm very cute.

You're nuts. Trees are turning colours here. Winter is coming!

In my experience it's more likely to be late, but I also hatch under bantams in winter, so...
