I've had 5 total. 4 living. One died at 3 weeks old. I had twins, and it's a long story but 1 died  I have 2 of each gender living. I'm 31. I've been married over 10 years. I had my first at 18 after being told i'd never have kids. took me almost 7 years to have my 2nd, 2 1/2years for my twins, and got lucky and had my 2nd girl before my surviving twins 2nd birthday.  What makes her so cool is my husband delivered her, we didn't make it to the hospital! (I had a homebirth with my first daughter, too.)


Did you know, I'd love a few more, via old fashioned method, or adoption! I've always felt compelled to adopt, I just needed to get to the right place in my life. My chickens fulfil those .. mothering urges in me!

Did you know that I will send you prayers and good thought for whatever you decide? Some women are just made for the larger families. Did you know... It's always been a struggle for me to raise mine but for some reason everything is working out okay.... Did you know I miscarried my first at 4 months which can't even compare to losing a child and that was painful enough...

i can imagine how hard that was. The first time I held my son that died, was on mothers day. After he died. (yep, he died on mother's day. we don't celebrate it anymore, instead we do family's day.)

I... know big families aren't a thing anymore, but honestly, it's all I ever wanted.



Did you know, that with the lack of children being born to families, old people can't be supported by SS anymore?

Yes
Did you know that Eric II, King of Denmark, was known as Eric the Memorable and no one remembers why?

 

[kajira]

No

Did you know I'm nearly crying now?

now I feel bad. Don't cry

I do know that. Did you know that four kids is considered huge now a days?

Apparently. Most of the people in our family either have ZERO kids, or 3-6. One of my great aunts though had 13. LOL


Did you know that society says if we continue to not have kids, we won't be able to care for old people?

Yep. Then there are the few families with 9 or 10 kids, and 4 seems to minuscule.

Did you know that this conversation has become quite sad and I want to give everybody a big hug?

Sally I love how you follow up everything with a hilarious meme or gif!!

The birds were right beside each other under the (standing) rabbit hutch when I found them, dead as doornails. I think they were taking shelter from the rain. 99.999% sure it was lightening because the extension cord was on the ground beside them, and the bulb from it was connected to had busted and shattered all in my coop with my chicks. Ironically, every single chick was fine but my two big boys were not.

Anywho, that was a couple years ago, and at least my favorite cock didn't get hit!

Did you know one hundred pennies makes a dollar??

good grief!! and LOL

You did know!!! now stop it, you bad, bad bad girl.

LOL



I want pekins. And welsh harlequins and the ones that lay like 300 eggs a year. Whatever those ones are.

Did you know, that I want to get my daughter those fluffy feathery geese... metzer farms charges like 75 a bird for a pair of them... I don't think I can justify more than a pair next spring when they become available though and they make you order 10 birds.... so... i need to order 8 more. LOLL I'm not sure hubby's okay with 10 geese.

OMG
Did you know how loud one goose is, yet alone ten??????

Did you know my infatuation with Michael began when I discovered he had Blue Swedish ducks, lived close by, and then ended when he got rid of them?

And now I'm in danger of getting more ducks?

I did not know you had an infatuation with anything but coffee. I am sorry it ended.
Did you know .....

Did you know....

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Did you know... I am now laughing tears!!!!

Good!
Did you know that sometimes women laugh and they piddle themselves?

Did you know that I actually find our cock more personable than most of our hens? He seeks out for hugs more than our girls do.

HA!!! I hope he is personable! muwahhahhaa

Did you know there are more chickens than people on the Earth? of course Females rule!
