Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

I only have three.
My parents, however... had 10. My husbands grandparents had 15.... I stopped at three. I would be under the house eating bugs and chuckling at things my hand said, if I had more then three.

Time to go out in the cold and do the dance of my people! (collecting eggs )

wow...and she lived through that. in that day and age a miracle in itself! but perhaps if they were all multiles each child might have been smaller. I wonder how many lived.

she must have been shooting with both barrels and double time! either that or the russian scientists were experimenting on her with secret fertility treatments. I wonder about the other women in her family and if they were also super fertile/multiple eggs at once kinda girls.

All I know is I will repeat the same thing I said to everyone in my family when they wished multiples on me as I have twins and triplets in my family and my husband has twins, "If they start coming in litters, I am done." My great-grandmother was one of 27 children. Every one of her siblings was a twin or triplet except one. NOT HAPPENING!!!!

WHEE!!! Actually, double WHEEEE!!!!!!

I have a beautiful new isbar cockerel! Three months old, dove gray, just lovely! He's to go with my 2 month isbar pullet but I'm worried my pullet might not be a pullet... lol! Ah well, I can only wait and see. Speaking of seeing, I want it to warm up so I can get stuff done and TAKE PICTURES!!

And I have a wheaten marans chick!!! Just popped out of her (c'mon, her!) shell, another one pipped, and five more on lockdown. Whee!!!!!!!! I love hatch days And new bird days And heck, any day with chickens is a good day

OMG!!! that is too funny!

but honestly, chickens are easier to rear than children. I am one of the few people that never had the urge to have any. I think it's because I was used as slave labor babysitting all growing up and I had NO illusions. LOL and I am a ditz and I still have nightmares about suddenly realizing I had a baby or two and I cant find them and then I find them in the laundry hamper all shrivelled up from dehydration (but still alive!) and I am desparately trying to rehydrate them before they do die. yeah, I am damaged.

chickens are easier. and noone thinks you are a horrible person if they are occasionally picked off by wolves.

We have 4 kids- I find myself telling them to stay in the house while I go to the barn to take care of the chickens by myself (It has become my quiet time). I never wanted chickens- see how that worked out for me don't you

Our 16 year old daughter swears she will never have kids- or chickens

Quote: I will not say which one (but it wasn't the last one), I remember thinking "Oh NO! NO! NO!" but I wouldn't trade any of them for anything! (not even Jubilee Orps OR Cream Legbars!)

Turkey babies are definitely eating!

The only time he seems really happy is when I am holding him, or when he is in the bathtub!

Quote: I am trying to picture this right now, and somehow I can't quite visualize it! Mind sharing a picture?

I dunno, some days I'd be tempted to trade the kids for some emu or something... emu not even necessary, I'd just give em away! But, I'd miss them too much. Even when they have me wanting to lock myself in the bathroom!
