I was talking to "Kelsie2290". Sorry peoples, I don't use social media or post or such, and I thought it would go to each person I was responding to individually! My mistake.

An easy way to note who you are addressing is to either use the "reply with quote" button or the "multi" button - the former will quote one post, the latter can be used by clicking it in each post you want to respond to and then when you press "post a reply" after hitting the "multi"s your response box will have all the posts you are quoting in it -- or you can use @insertusernamehere to indicate if you are addressing someone specifically

LOL It is not a problem! At the bottom right hand corner of each post there are some tabs. the first a thumbs up, allows you to add to someones reputation by clicking on it. The "multi" tab, allows you to quote from multiple posts. The "quote" tab allows you to quote that post in yours, like I did, probably the best way to reply to one person. The reply tab allows you to reply to the thread. I am pretty new to this too, but i hope that helps!

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome! I think I created a monster, though. Now when I see ads for chicks, pullets, and the like, I want to go buy them! My poor husband just doesn't know what he's done. We have a large garden every spring and fall. We've already planted the red potatoes, black eye peas, crowder peas, and acre peas, and he'll be planting squash, zucchini, corn, green beans, tomatos, peanuts, etc. I was glad to learn that their feces makes good fertilizer for our garden and that I can feed them the "overgrown" squash and zucchini as a treat. Already found out that they love maters! I just don't know when they will start laying eggs. Keep checking, had them about 3-4 weeks now, but nothing yet. They are supposed to be about 10 months old.

TRUST ME I know !!!! LOL we have 4 girls right now.. and I have 18 eggs going to set next week LOL AND we got 2 ducks a few days ago and thinking of adding 1 more duck cuz 2 seems odd !! CRAZY CHICKEN MATH ! .. I have 1 BIG Chicken tractor and 1 small tractor.. just bought another coop this week. Hubby does not know about that one yet. Have to be ready for when my eggs hatch !!! Good luck with your babies.
