@Sassysouth how funny that just a few weeks later you got chickies.

Our humane society has lots of roosters lately.
I wonder what they charge to adopt..... Lol if it is a lot they will be keeping tons of roosters.

My in town flock started kind of funny too.
It was mothers day and we were at a farm store looking for better harnesses for the dogs. They had chicks!!! For years hubby had said NO to chickens.
I figured I would ask again anyway. He did not hesitate and said yes.
He said yes!?!?!
I asked him later what changed his mind. He said "It was mothers day. Just cannot say no on mothers day". Like that was something I should have always known. Believe me THAT tidbit got filed away for future exploitation.....I mean use.

Candled our eggs last night. Lost another egg, #8. Started with 15 eggs, down to 10. They are being transferred into our bedroom today and put into *lockdown*.

#2, which we are either gonna name Crackpot or Glade (depending on if it hatches or not), is doing very well still!

We ALL just filed that away.

Roosters are not welcome here at my humane society, bit surprisingly the local animal shelter run by the sheriffs dept will take them because our sheriff is a real animal lover. They are sometimes free sometimes $2-5 depending on how long he's been getting on their nerves.


The other night we were watching some reality type show and the woman had given birth.
She went into labor in the middle of the night headed to the hospital and delivered by 9am and was saying how EXHAUSTING her labor was.
My husband piped up, "Wow! Six hours??!! That was nuthin'! "
Lol
I didn't know which emoji

LOL really. I understand all those reaction emojis.

I was in labor at home for 24 hours before we went to the hospital (I was trying for a home birth and got to 10cm with a lip but regressed to 6-7 and my contractions started spacing out. It was 30 hours before I got an epidural and 36 hours before they gave me a c-section. THAT is EXHUASTING! But I know better than to try to one up another mother's birth story. It isn't polite.

Oh, speaking of reading material, is anyone interested in reading my blog? It is mostly filled with chicken and farm stuff. It is Where Maps Fail. I started posting back in January. My SIL started the blog and posted before that. I'm trying to get posts out twice a week now. I did take an unintended break from July until Sunday with only 1 post in August.

I'm reading the blog now @raecarrow
