8 mozzarella sticks is always just two mozzarella sticks too many. I never learn.

This rain is relentless! I look like a drowned rat and smell like wet chicken. Not my best self, today...

Wish I could say that. 8 and I'm just warming up lol.

I couldn't help myself. I needed to clean the poop from underneath the broody so I made her get up. I was hoping she'd grab a little food or water but nope. So as I moved the poop, she was right back on the eggs. Maybe I need to go broody and lose some weight. Pearl would probably just let me sit there in my own poo though.

Can y'all tell at three weeks old the sex of ee.? What about keets?

Quote: Red, you don't need any special sort of plant to grow bonsai. It is the method of growing and trimming that makes them look that way. Ones that are started are expensive because it takes a long time to grow them to look like old trees. Years! Some plants work better than others to get the right effect. Sometimes people go out and look for an old tree that has been naturally stunted, dig it up, trim the roots, and plop it in a shallow pot. Gives them a head start, but it will still take years to perfect it. There is a bonsai show near us every year, and I know my hubs has some pics I could show you later. That, and you were asking about drive through redwoods. Sounds like you like trees! Bonsai would be good hobby. Your public library should have some books about it.

Twist, your crumble sounds delicious! Don't know why anyone goes to the trouble of making pie crust when crumble is so easy, and tastes better too, to me. Putting that on the menu for tomorrow!

Depends. I had an EE whose comb turned red at 2.5 weeks. Keets are trickier.

Sometimes you can, but 6 weeks is more common. It depends on the shape of the comb and feather color pattern. A pullet will have a single low ridge running down the center of the comb. Cockerels have a more puffed up, fatter comb. Look at camping's EE chicks a few pages back. That's what a male comb looks like.

I help out on this thread a lot.

Sorry, don't know nothing 'bout no keets!

Red, back away from the broody, she knows what she is doing!

Thanks wishing. I will definitely be doing some research on that . I do love older looking trees. When I use to deer hunt a lot, I'd sit and just look at all the nature. I love it! Always said I was born to be in my climber in a tree. I can do that no more much at all. I really miss it. Now on the rare days that I feel like going, I have to stay grouded. Still enjoy all the natural and wildlife. You just can't get a view on the ground like you can in the trees.
