I love this picture - with the angle you got and the depth of field, it looks like she's standing on a sidewalk down a busy city street at first glance - like in a chicken city. LOL



In other news today... received a frantic phone call from my  mother-in-law - they got hit by an 18-wheeler on the I-40 today while just trying to take a day trip to Seligman. Thankfully they survived. Another lady in front of them was air-evacuated and they didn't think she was going to make it. They were rushed to Flagstaff Medical Center and after having their car totaled, spinning around several times after getting hit, she was released tonight and my father-in-law may be released tomorrow. So scary! But so glad they aren't hurt worse. The DPS officer said that if the truck hadn't hit them, thereby stopping the truck, it would have killed them all. The lady who was air-evacuated was from an accident that happened in front of them just minutes before and all the officers were in the street helping that accident before the next one happened. Looong day - I just got home from taking care of all their animals - and putting their chickens to bed. Good-night!

Wow girl that is so stressful. Bless their hearts, just going on a day trip.. We will be praying for a speedy recovery.
Again your angle of the photo is very industrial.. I might have already commented on this photo..

Bummer about your son. I'm still looking forward to riding Fantasy Island with someone. I got my permit a couple weeks ago.

Oh yeah awesome.. I am just sick thinking about it.. We are suppose to go to Sedona on mothers day.. We do a mothers day ride
every year in Sedona.. This time we are " were" going to wet beaver creek.. It is only 3 1/2 miles in.. But at the end there is rock climbing
& cliff jumping.. Was going to be a blast...
We will find out more tomorrow after the orthopedic surgeon appointment.. Praying it is only a sprain.. God willing only a sprain..

i am going to Tucson Tuesday, will be leaving early. At some point I will be having to sell my surplus. I can have only pullets, you know how it works, you take your chances. To many chickens if the are all healthy, ether way you have to give some up. Think about it in the mean time, I want to sell to BYC members first. 4 Columbian Wyandotte, 2 Silver Spangles Humberg, 2 Blue Lace Brown Wyandotte, and 2 Good Shepherd Barred Rock, will not know pullet or roo for a while. The roos will be the ones I will have to move fast, as soon as it crows. . THINK PULLET

I have a kid who has to clean up the dog poo, so it's all good. The bad news, the kid and the dog both eat alot.

My thoughts exactly.. I have tried to get rid of one of our dogs to someone who really wanted her.. DH & kiddo's say no..

I have chicks hatching out in my class this week. I have a 55 gallon aquarium that I am going to use as a brooder (for the first two weeks) with a heat lamp. As I was setting up-not sure what to use on the bottom??? What do you all use? I normally let a broody hatch and raise chicks so this is a first for me.

My son wants to put straw but I don't think that will be good. I think I see pine shavings in some, am I right? What is the best to use?

thanks for any advice you can give

I always use paper towels for the first three weeks and continue layering on top of one another.
