Hi I'm Lindsey, stay at home mom of a 4 year old and 1 year old twin girls. Just started this whole raising chickens thing. Got 5 unsexed chickens from a friend for free and bought 4 pullets from the store and ended up with 2 hens and 7 roosters! Talk about luck!

so anyway that's my story for now. Just thought I would say hi.

Its really an evil plot to make you learn chicken math! Ya see, once you get too many roosters, you have to replace them with hens. But the hens are so nice and pretty, you get a few extras! Then they start laying eggs, and you want more. Then they go broody, and make more... and more.... and more! Then you love them so much, you can't get rid of any.

And then.... if you catch the horrible bug called "incubating" (I have this serious disease, so I try to warn new folks of the major addiction, as a public service, of course). Then it turns from chicken math to chicken algebra!

Personally, I've graduated to chicken calculus.

Hey, Hoot, welcome to the Cafe. Good morning, All, played beat the heat this morning and trained dogs early. Quit at 10 - 85 F and 85 % humidity. It's supposed to push 100 F today add in the humidity and

Gonna sit her in the AC and enjoy my coffee thanks to VW/WV.

Sounds like an excellent idea!

Sir Sour, you get all the fun stuff before the rest of us get anything to talk about.
Tuesday morning we are forecast to have over 90% humidity and temps in the 80's and climbing.

According to weather.com the humidity has dropped to 60 % (everything was wet earlier due to showers), the temp is 94 F for a 'feels like' temp. of 108 - supposed to feel like that until 5 PM when it drops a bit. That's too hot for man and beast.

Lol I'm hoping one of my girls goes Brody for me! Also hoping I don't graduate to chicken calculus lol

 

[sourland]

Did someone say they need a broody?

sing a little song

'n' dance a little dance

walla

Now if I just point that GPS towards Hootenchickens ------------------------------

Hardly anyone asks anymore.

 

[Hootenchickens]

Yep reading tips on getting your hen to go Brody right now

 

[ShrekDawg]

How old are they? They may be about the youngest broody i ever heard of lol

 

[ShrekDawg]

I want mine to be broody too though

 

[FridayYet]

Actually I'm in to chicken subtraction this summer. That kind of math works better for me.

 

[WVduckchick]

I hoped for a broody this year and have had 10!

ETA - see, calculus.
