My rhode island red hen (rhodey)did a submissive squat!!!!!so maybe eggs soon?!
Well in that casemail squatting doesn't sound good.lolSquatting is always good! Except when they squat in front of you and you end up busting your knee on the chicken ramp and you have a rooster so they shouldn't be squatting for you in the first freaking place.
I was so excited for her doing it I did a dance!!!I know I looked crazy but I couldn't help it!
My thanksgiving was uneventful, got absolutely white girl wasted on mimosas and "cooked" a little dinner for hubs and i ,it turned out pretty terrible. The only thing that was decent was the turkey breast and that only happened because i didn't fiddle with it too much. I wasn't planning on cooking but he seemed sad,after i cooked he really was sad.
I waited until Sunday. They didn't have anything on sale that I needed and the buck or 2 I would have saved wasn't worth it. I did go to Lowes also on Sunday to get more chicken wire to cover my run (it currently has bird netting which worked, but I noticed that it's starting to tear in and I don't want to risk stuff getting in.) and the place was packed still. They have an inflatable penguin that I would have considered thinking about getting if it wasn't $165. Nothing I ever need or want is on sale. I did order a few things online. There's these candles that come with a ring hidden in the jar. My daughters love them. You're supposed to burn the candle and get the ring out. We can never wait that long. Anyway.. they were on sale. I also bought myself a trail cam so I can watch what's trying to eat my chickens. And earbuds... b/c my kids go through them like water. Last year I bought them 8 pairs and roughly once a month I have to buy more.
LOL I like your wording! Did everything heal?
So glad you were able to get out of going. Did your husband say how things went?
I've heard some eggers take extra long to lay, as do Americaunas. Mine took longer than the others, but my eggers were also the youngest so I didn't really realize that they were taking longer to lay. I've also noticed that it takes each of my girls several days to produce an egg now. I got my first blue egg in a week yesterday. I thought they had stopped, but apparently it's taking them longer to produce. That squatting is more an indicator than the red comb, IMO b/c it means they are willing to mate. With all my girls, the ones who were willing to mate were laying while the ones who weren't willing weren't laying yet. Then soon after I saw them submit they'd start laying. It's also subjective b/c some of mine that I thought were to lay soon b/c they had a big red comb didn't start laying til later and their comb got much larger before laying started.I have a Marans girl at 29 weeks. She has been bright red for a few weeks now, has squatted for me a couple times, I've seen a couple boys mate her. But still no egg.
Same. My phone sometimes decides that I'm don't replying and posts for me. Then I have to go back and edit it before I look like a total moron.I didnt mean for mail to be in there.I hate my keyboard it always offer options for different words.
LOL duly ignored. Ugh.. that looks deep. Maybe the chicken was trying to incapacitate you so they could feast on your body.@apryl29 The knee is healing, but its a knee so I'm constantly hitting it or rubbing it so i never get to quite forget that i buggerd it up. Here's a pic,please ignore my manly legs.
