When my first broody hatched chicks, an acquaintance asked me how I knew she was pregnant.
Because she craved pickles and ice cream? The EPT stick turned colors? She decorated the nest box in pink and blue? I give up .... Tell me!!!!

My little brother and one of the chefs at my mom's restaurant want to start a business called the Pregnant Boyz. They sell fried pickles dipped in chocolate to pregnant women. It's the perfect business plan....Now I want fried pickles, sooooo good...![]()
I live on an island with only a 3 mile stretch of rough single track road and very little traffic. Driving at anything over 40mph here gets you labelled as a maniac driver. There is only one inhabited house north of me along the road. My birds are 100% free range and can go where ever they please. Everyone who comes here knows this.
One friend was complaining about having to slam on his brakes to avoid running over one of my young cockerels, which made his 3 year old daughter hit her face off the dash board and cry.
I was telling him how he should have been driving slower and have had his daughters seat belt on. Also animals have the right of way and I've told him this countless times.![]()
He went on to tell me how chickens were not animals..................At the end of the conversation he said "Well I won't be stopping for them again. I'm just going to run them over!"
He has since killed one of my rare breed cockerels on the road.He did say it was an accident and he was driving barely 5mph. I find it very hard to believe him seeing as I've NEVER seen him drive slower than 25mph and he already said he wouldn't stop for a chicken. He also still doesn't put his childrens seat belts on them.![]()

You and I are in the same sad boat. Mine are only 10 weeks old. I want my eggs.![]()
mine are only 4-5 weeks oldi can't wait for my eggs!!![]()
I'm Sorry, I am having to pay $8 a dozen right now for the good ones. I can't eat store bought any more.![]()
Holy Cow! And, I thought $6 per dozen was bad. If I ever get any eggs to sell, I'm gonna charge (let's see; $35 per 50lb bag of organic feed; $5000 for the coop, another $100 for the watering trough/brooder, and another $150 or so for the miscellaneous supplies) about $79.95 per dozen. I should break even in about 3 years.
