re: My Gift 

My dear friends…
I am in shock, and also know that I am a big baby and crying.  I dont really know what to say, besides holy cow, thank you so very much, and OMG yer all nuts, that much $ at a chicken store!  

Today I was talking to a BYC friend that lives local and we realized we have been yapping etc for over six years now about chickens and life, We were discussing when I cant babysit anymore what I can try to do next to help support my kids, I tried to explain to her when she asked if I get paid for anything I have done on BYC that I dont, but its been a major source for support through the most horrible times in my life.  When I realized the cancer support groups only brought me down more with the disappointments, discussion and even the deaths, I swore I needed to find something to occupy my time that keeps me uplifted and looking forward.

BYC and the associated hobbies/addictions sure took hold and helped me be more positive and realize I could still live my life even if I dont know the ending.  I wont go on, but I think you should all realize how much you mean to me.   Believe it or not, this has been minor compared to what I have been through, but to know that your cared ab and appreciated its absolutely amazing and I truly enjoy helping others with the incubation, not to mention trying to save some babies and stress from hatchers.

I have a lifelong list of mentors, everyone is wise in some way and has taught me something, its a gift to give back in any way.   

Thanks for walking with me when I needed support, thanks for walking ahead me when I needed guidance and thanks for walking behind me when I needed someone to watch my back. thanks for tolerating my idiosyncrasies and crazy cattywampus habits.

You might not know this, but you helped me find happiness in being the person that I really am, thank you everyone  

We all love you Sally!

I'm home! And gearing up for a read back.

It was a 7-day cruise out of Galveston, TX, to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. About 6 hours in each port. We river rafted in Jamaica and had an excellent guide who pointed out local birds and plants. Jamaica had goats in all the ditches, they looked like nigerian dwarfs but bigger. The guide said the breeds they have are "nuban buck" and "english goats" and of course all the mixes. He said the nuban buck meat was very dry. I didn't bring my phone because of the water, so no pictures. The exchange rate was about $170 to $1 USD.

We snorkeled at 7-mile beach and Cemetery Beach in Grand Cayman. The parks, empty lots, and beaches were full of chickens and big yellow iguanas. GC was very expensive, and very American. Lots of strip malls with the same shops as at home, and lots of resorts. The exchange rate was $1 to $1.28USD or so.

I spent the day on a beach in Cozumel. Snorkeled a little, played with the kids. Very relaxing for a last stop. Exchange rate was about 20p to $1USD. When shopping I got local change so I have a little money from each country as a souvenir.

A few pics!

We saved a few hundred bucks by getting an inside cabin on deck 2. It was a godsend Friday with rough water because there was less movement than anywhere else. DD and I were the only two to get sick and we took long naps. In the pic DH is around the corner to the left. We had a small bathroom and cabinets for luggage.

They had super fun drinks for kids that looked just like the grownup versions. This was the only time we used the pools.

What about the used Magic marker for writing "Crazy Chicken Woman" on it with?

You really think I'm ever short on magic markers? I swear they multiply.

Hi Dax not Banti but,

Very simple. Vodka with vanilla beans stored in dark room and shake when you remember. Instructions on line as to the amounts. I forget each time but it seems they don't have you using enough beans. The instructions usually call for splitting the beans down the center. Too dangerous as they are thin gummy hard critters. We cut them in 1/2 pieces with scissors and it does better on getting the vanilla out of the bean. This is a trend that's catching on and prices are going up beside the growing shortage.

@BantyChooks
     where do we get the beans?  I dont think I ever seen any for sale

lmao ok then

thank you for helping!

That would be awesome!!!!  but how old are they? When did they hatch?

I think my second batch are about the same age as yours, and I am not expecting eggs for at least 6 weeks from them.
