I can't keep up, so until I'm feeling better, I don't know how often I'll feel like posting. I'm still in a lot of pain from the stupid accident I had with the guy that flipped a U Turn in front of me. CRAZY guy!! And the fact he's lying about it (he says he was simply making a left hand turn)-- he told me at the accident he was a good Christian man, and boy, was that a big fat lie. I wish he'd ADMIT what he did and be done with it!!! Anyway, I can barely turn my head left or right, and I have nerves that are sending shooting pain down my neck, back and shoulders. I have a headache that won't stop. Lots o' fun here.

MamaHen-- WHOA-- that sounded bad about your boys finger and the pumpkin. They will learn by doing, but that was a pretty bad experience. I sure hope he will keep feeling in it and it will heal right. I feel really bad for him, because it sounds like it's going to be a lot of hassle. What a mess with your heater too-- you're right, when it rains, it pours.

I'm in a bad place right now too with insurance and it's a big mess that is really not helping me try to stay stress free. UGH.

I need to wash silkies today!! With my injured wrist. Great.

Okay, heading off for my pity party...

Hawkeye, that well and truly sucks.

Glad you are here!!!! Hey, looks like you got a couple of cockerels there. No need to stay in the shadows, gets kinda chilly. Nice to have you! Oh, you kinda make me jeolous, I had a 66, oh how I wish I had i back!!!!

Well, the ducklings started to show signs of being picked on. The crested one especially. I brought them inside from the chicken run and put them back in the brooder but then the chicks started immediately picking on them where the two Orpingtons had already done a little damage. In the bathtub they go! haha Going to spend the rest of the day trying to figure out what in the world I'm going to do with these two ducklings. Think I may integrate the Orpingtons into the coop tonight when everyone else is asleep and put the ducklings back into the run with a brooder light for warmth in an enclosure. I dunno, we'll see.

Wish me luck!

So sorry you are having integration issues. I don't know what advice to offer but will wish you luck and tell you "this too shall pass".

.... sometimes I think that all of this work is what keeps us all going. Besides that fact that it just HAS to be done, it also forces us all to do things we probably don't want to do or feel like doing but is good for us anyway. I can't image what life would be like without work, I've decided that people are just meant to work.

Well said!

Hello everyone. I've been following this thread for several months, but generally prefer to stay in the shadows. I have a question on the gender of a couple of birds however that is forcing me to make my presence known.

I got a number of birds 6 or 7 weeks ago including a few pullets. I am now questioning the sex of two of them. Perhaps you can help, as I can't have Roosters within the Lawrence city limits.

Dan! Glad you joined us. Unfortunately I would say both of those are cockerels.

Ivy is on her way North, they are trying to get the house ready, they have someone REALLY interested in that house. They want to get it sold. When they do, they are going to go ahead and finish moving, and then she will try to get a job here then......

That's great that she has a buyer already interested. Tell her we are thinking about her and hope the transaction goes smoothly so she can get on with the rest of her life.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I have had my suspicions on those two. Thanks for the confirmation! Now to find a home for them before they annoy the neighbors.

Welcome Dan!! Looks like you have an easter egger not an ameracauna, and maybe the other is a production red or red sexlink..

I don't think so....that is a saying DH and I say to each other all the time, but I suspect I picked it up from him - perhaps HE knows Bill W.
