When do you plan on getting these eggs ? I talked to Randy yesterday and when his Orloff's start laying I am buying hatching eggs from him. I am buying Orloff eggs and Lemon Cuckoo Marans eggs from him and then I talked to a lady up by him and I will be buying 2 dozen Paint Silkie eggs from her. Gonna have all kinds of babies here LOL. But, I have a cabinet incubator that holds around 300 eggs plus I have 3 small incubators so incubating won't be a problem. If you want you can borrow an incubator. I have the turners with all of them too and they are all forced air. So that is an option for you also.
Kim - Get your butt to the Dr. If it was one of the kids you would have already had them there !!! Don't take away from yourself. I don't have many friends and want to keep the ones I do have LOL.Nova-
for saying you arent going to tell me.
Doesnt matter- someone else did. Actually, someone elses- told me. SO, that being said, I am just going to pretend I didnt read anything. That particular has always been very very nice to me and mine- so Im just gonna Continue being tatted and taking my pink and purple kids with me- OH NO- WHAT DAY IS IT THIS YEAR>??????????????????????
I have a wedding to go to on either June 22 or 29th. I got a card in the mail that said "save the date" and I didnt save the date.It may be on the 21st. Big stupid gala affair with all the bells and whistles that I cant get out of. darn. Anyway, I plan on being at chickenstock if its not the wedding day- with my pink and purple pierced kid and my tattoo kid. If it is on the same day, can we rebels plan a party at Nova's or Robins or even y'all come this way and we will crash BYFMs? SOMETHING???????
I have a funeral to go to this week.
Long sad story- dont feel much like typing it. But please- dont post condolences to me, because it isnt my loss- its my first husbands uncles' mother. I havent seen her in over ten years but I was once part of the family and still part of part of the family so I am showing up to show my respect.
I looked like a Savage yesterday at the grocery store. I did major yard work and was completely muddy- hair was windblown and NOT in a ponytail- all blown out insane. AND we had nothing for dinner and we were out of toilet paper- so, a mom has to do what a mom has to do...I went out in public looking crazed. I truly expected to run into some hot guy from my past. Thankfully that didnt happen. But I wont be surprized if I end up being in one of those "People of Walmart" videos.
Know what happens when you have a bunch of male quail trying to outcrow/call each other? It sounds like they are saying "You B**ch" over and over in my backyard.We put a green screen-type tarp across the shadow-box privacy fence on the the new neighbor side of the backyard. Those new neighbor kids were hitting my trumpet vines with sticks on Saturday- really whacking at them. I waited to see if a parent was going to yell at them, but that didnt happen. So, I tore almost all of them down yesterday. Made me really sad to do it- however, i would be MORE sad if everything was growing beautifully and they were whacking at them and killed them then. Now I wont see that- and I just have to watch them grow again. Because I continue to be a rebel and illegal, I cant yell at them like I would like to do. I really AM the crabby lady who wants to scream at kids to "get off my lawn" but I really want to bring my chickens back. I miss them. I did tell the kids "DONT HIT THE FENCE" in my scariest witch-next-door-voice, however.
That said- I have TWO rooster gonna-bes. Both frizzle Chickenlittle spawn. One is white with some black and one is black and white. They are five weeks old. Robin, as always, my wonderful Robin, will find them a home for me- but if any of you want little frizzle genes in your flock.....
I have a Manager's meeting today. Once again, I have nothing prepared and am going to have to wing it. Again. If I have a chance, I will throw something together, but I do believe I am working alone until noon- and the meeting is at one, so I wont have time. That makes three months in a row, that I have had to fake it. There is never enough time when the higher-ups think one person can do the work of three.
I need to make a doctor appointment. Do any of you know what kind of disease I may have? My ribs on my right side have been KILLING me for about three months. As in, they hurt. Cant touch my right side. And when I try to sleep- I wake up in SO much pain like I have slept on a brick. And it is starting to affect daily life. I havent gone to the doctor for it (stop yelling at me, Robin) because I have this stupid cough- and I dont want the doctor to say its from coughing-- because it started before the cough. So, I am waiting for the cough to go away so the doctor doesnt blow me off. I didnt fall, I didnt get whacked in the rib cage. I have no physical reason for them to hurt so badly. Anyhow, it makes me pretty crabby.
I have written a novel here. Be proud, Nova.I have to shower now and get ready for work. You all have a wonderful day. Enjoy the weather- if it is still nice out and not snowing- havent checked the forecast. This weekend was very nice.
I have a few questions.
Background first; we had chicks hatch Aug 21, 2012. From that hatch we have 2 welly pullets and a roo. we had 7 other roos that we got rid of. At the time of hatch we had 3 hens. As the roos matured they pecked two of the hens quite badly about the head. I thought cutting down to one roo would eliminate the excessive damage to the hens. Not So ! Feathers grew back for awhile, however, Rufus has been worse lately. The pullets are losing some and the only hen not damaged before, a BO, was hiding under the hen house today with a comb sorta torn at the posterior end and bleeding quite a bit. The wound is treated.
Are Welly roos particularly mean? or is it just this one. Robin?
Anyone want a red rooster?
Anyone have a hen saddle or 3 for sale?
Are there hen head helmets for protection?
I don't want to simply kill him. He is beautiful.

Hi Bob - I have 3 Welsummer roos and not a single one of them is like that. Maybe put him in his own pen for awhile ?
TC - Good luck with the surgery.
Not anything "real" that would stay on though.
