Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TOMTE]

If I had stayed at my first high school (a college preparatory school), I would have had to not just take, but pass 2 (or 3?) AP classes to graduate. Anything below a C- was a failing grade at that school. There were a lot of requirements for graduation. That was NOT the school for a "simple" person like me but I did have a lot of good friends there. When I went, the school was only in its 2nd year of operation so there were only around 300 students, and pretty much everyone got along. It was nice. Then I switched to a school with regular graduation requirements, but 2000+ students and of course, there were the cliques. Can never have it all, I guess.

Got the heater installed yesterday...

But the girls would rather huddle around under the coop

Advanced Placement courses taken in high school which are more like a college curriculum and have a standardized test at the end of the year which is graded on a scale (1-5 iirc) and depending on your score, can translate into college credit depending on the college/university you attend and how they weigh the scores. I took AP classes and was two credits shy of being a sophomore when I matriculated at uni. The next semester they changed their system and I would have gotten only half of the credits I did if I had started later!

From what I can tell many now just take college classes instead of AP if available as an option. Depends on the high school.

Interesting. Glad I am no longer in school! Now I just deal with the school of hard knocks!

You are no more simple than I am, do not label yourself as such

That looks like an awesome heater - what brand is it?

Aww, thank you. I am intellectually disabled, "simple" is just easier to type I don't mean it as self-depreciating, just a fact. I'm not ashamed of it

It's a Cozy Products heater!

How interesting that there is french wording on that box. Is it a Cnd product I wonder?

It looks like a really wide panel, I must look this up. Thanks for posting!

(You’re plenty smart trust me!)

Edit: how wide & tall is that panel?

Found it, but not here in Cnd.

It’s 8x19”, that looks like an awesome heating panel. I love the longer width, more chooks can cozy up to it!

Awww! More babies?! Are they with a mama there?

Yes, one of the Light Sussex pullets went broody and I gave her a few old eggs to sit on for a bit so I could keep collecting new eggs every day. Failed to take into account that some of the old eggs were laid by my bomb-proof murderbird, so of course they were still fertilised a few weeks after I ate her boyfriends and of course they developed and hatched fine even though they'd sat around indoors for several weeks without turning after they were laid Stupid time of year for chicks but she's doing a good job with them.
