No, you're an awesome parent! Just think of all the kids that want video games with their money! She's learning a lot that she would never have otherwise.

I have to agree. There is so much more positivity coming from this as a learning experience than "just doing the normal teenage stuff"! Have fun at the Nationals!

What are you getting your ducks for? Eggs or meatbirds or just because they are cute? Can ducks and chickens be housed together?

Awe, thanks guys. My son is a video junkie and I hate it. But my daughter is almost 15 and is happy to just be a farm girl. That I love! The city kids come over and she loves to teach them how to get down and dirty! My daughter will run around the pasture galloping and neighing, then go in the shed and practice her crowing. I don't know who is nuttier, her, or me by allowing such behavior

Nothing wrong with getting high on LIFE! Good for her for acting nutty. We all need to sometimes, and most times we can't. Sounds like you are doing a fine job!

Yay Christine!

You sure do have a problem! At least you are focused on quality purebreeds. I have an addiction to purebreeds and backyard mixes! Pretty soon, we'll all be hitting you up for your hatching eggs! Did your tolbunts ever hatch?

Hopefully we can start selling eggs in the spring. One of our Polish in the black/chocolate/khaki pen started laying yesterday!

None of the eggs that we got in NY hatched. We were pretty bummed. But, we have a gorgeous trio of Tolbunts that will be laying in the spring, so we will have them to hatch.

We are heading to Nationals on Saturday! So excited!!!

What? You are going too? Am I the ONLY chicken owner in America NOT going!?! I am so jealous. I am determined to be showing Silkies and Ameraucanas next year. Say hi to Mary for me... I think she is showing one of her birds.

When your birds are up to production...I'll give you my shipping address...I could use more Silkies. And, dare I say...Polish!

You guys brought me over to the dark side!

I am an egg addict...I like the sizes and colors. Processing my dual-purpose chickens is nonexistent because they have become my pets.

I can go into raising ducks (even the meat varieties) knowing full well I don't have the heart (or is it guts?) to eat them! I am a pathetic farmer!
