Twiley, I was in your neck of the woods yesterday evening. I picked up this little boy at the Kroger's on 12th street in Lake Charles. Someone was looking for a home for him. Since I have a lone gosling that is inside, I thought this little fella could be a buddy. I have named this little one Chuckie. He is a Brown Chinese Gosling. He is soooo tiny. He is 2 days old.

New fella

My gosling that hatched about a week ago.

Kuntrygirl, that little goose is so cute! You're right, it will be good company for your other one.

I tried putting baby chicks with mine but it didn't work. She kept biting them so I had to separate them. I have them side by side in plastic tubs to give her company. I put a small stuffed duck in with her and she cuddles with it and drags it around. I'm ready for her to go out because her container is getting harder to keep clean. She is growing too fast.

Aw...., too cute!!! Keep doing what you're doing! Gosh, now you can use these little chicks to teach your little one all kinds of things. New words - identify the parts of the chick, the activities of the chick, the foods the chick eats. (Eat along with the chick). Counting the chicks, substracting, addition (Oh, MORE chicks!

).... -- WOW! Chicken Math!! Colors - get chickens that lay different colored eggs. Science - the body parts and how they function. Compare chicken to self: chicken feet=my feet; chicken tongue=my tongue, etc. Alphabet - ex. the letter "e" for eye, "b" for beak; Phonics - what sound does the letter make? Social Studies - Where did you buy the chicks? What town is that? What State is that? Where did you take them home? What is your place called? What is the address? What is the phone #? Parents name? etc... Geography skills - point to place on map of home. Social Skills what do you get when you're good? More chicks! Yeah! it works for me!!

What if you misbehave? Then, you don't get to play with the chicks. "time out". If you want to give someone a small gift to show you care/love - yes, give eggs! I love it!

Yes; I'm a teacher!!

Yay for teachers! What age do you teach?

I have two with special needs (4 yr old w/ autism, 2 year old with severe developmental delay, unofficially autism) so we get words by any means necessary. His teacher said he wanted to loom at farm books and said "chick" and "cheep" all day.

I don't think most people who are NPIP certified hardly sends the proper paperwork to
buyers unless it is requested.
Grambysfarm...Remind me to mail you a copy of the paperwork to you for the hens.
It may take me a while but as soon as I can get in touch with the vet I have been
planning on getting the forms. Things have been crazy here the last few weeks.


Barred Babies...Wishing you lots of luck on the injections doing you good. I am on year 3
now of being stuck at home and going nuttier each day. I was working for the Tangipahoa
Parish Sheriff's Dept. and worked in the jail the last year but finally had to give it up to
come home and try to get better. If anything would have happened there I would have been
more of a liability than help.
If they work I want ther name of your Dr. I am looking for another Dr. now but thinking of
going to a pain management clinic to see if I can get some relief at least.

Oh luv I'll give you his name & number now!! He's one AWESOME doctor!! Dr. Kyle Girod 924-2424

My husband was hurt at work in October 07. Ruptured the very last disc chasing after a guy that was wanted for 5 cts of attemp 1st degree murder! (And yes he was caught!) He had it a fused in July 08. He's doing great. He has his days if he over does it and the barometric pressure messes with him too!! But other than that he's good!!

My first injection was at the end of Feb and I'd say it helped 75%. Since mine's a duty related injury I'm making sure it get taken care. We both work for EBR Sheriff's office!!

Good luck with what ever you decide to do but let me tell you he's one helluva doctor!!

I have been a teacher for nine years. Of those nine years, I've taught Special Education classes for six. I have a Masters Degree in Teaching with an emphasis in Special Education. I'm also certified to teach Social Studies, and English. For the past three years, I've taught 6th & 7th grade Social Studies; however, when school starts in the fall I'll be teaching in a Special Education classroom again teaching grades 6th -8th. I've worked with a lot of students that are autistic. And yes; we teach by whatever means it takes. If it means that we teach through baby chicks, then so be it! It's very important to make a "connection" with students.
