Someone has A LOT of time on their hands.

This is hilarious. And, no, it wasn't a typo. I will be 37 weeks and 3 days on Christmas day, which if you take four weeks to be an average month (which I do), you get 9.25 months. Baby girl is due on January 12th, which is exactly 40 weeks into the pregnancy, and by my math, 10 months. At any rate, by 37 weeks, they are considered full term and safe to deliver, but not only do I not want to be in the hospital for Christmas, I also don't want her to get stuck with a Christmas birthday. So, I plan on beaching myself on the couch.

And, speaking of babies, here's a couple pics of the ones that hatched yesterday.

Alrighty then

never too old to learn something they say well I just did.

Oh by the way congrats on the pregnancy and hope all goes well till the 12th and from then on too.
Not very experienced on the human pregnancy thingy the one I married for a short time had already been thru all that 5 times (what was I thinking

right) Now if its chickens, dogs and such I'm right there on top of all that not to keen on the human being developemental stages though. anyway Cadjien thanks for the heads-up and your spare time.

It would be awesome if it only took 21 days.

I saw an ad for French BCM pullets for $20.00 each. SERIOUSLY ?????????

I sell my day olds for $8. And (although I've never sold pullets), I think I'd charge $25. Are you saying that's too much? I just know they cost me a lot to get started and they eat a lot.

Sounds right to me if they are from a decent bloodline. A little high if not.

Good evening everyone. I have a question. Tonight is the first night since I got chickens that the temps will be below freezing in my area (6 to 8 hours of freezing temps). Do I need to do anything special to keep them warm? I have 4 hens in a 4x4 feet house, off the ground, with vents under the roof. My husband said that even if I close the windows, the house will lose heat because of the vents. Should I staple plastic over the vents??

I never knew the cost. I was surprised to see that they cost that much.

I received a Freeze Warning text on my phone from the weather channel. I live in Opelousas. I have open air raised coops and I didn't do anything different tonight. I think they should be ok.

Maybe others will chime in and offer more info.

As long as they are dry you shouldnt have any issues with the cold. Its supposed to get 27 here and not heating anybody.

They're from a good bloodline. Got my start from a reputable breeder.
