Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[LarryPQ]

You might be a hatchaholic if:


Unless I am leaving the house, I rarely look in a mirror. And some unfortunate days, not even then.

This morning I checked on the pips in the bator, and thought "OW! My nose hurts." I went to the bathroom, and sure enough--I have a big old zit on the end of my nose.

Apparently, when I check on the eggies, I am (quite literally) pressing my nose to the glass in anticipation.

My first "cutest chick" entry:

KV - I'm sorry you are having trouble with your hatch, here's wishing you at least a few fuzz butts for Easter.

As for the other, I would think that your DH would want you to have anything that keeps you happy, especially since he can't be there to do that. I would also think he has his decisions to make about his job and the way he spends his time away from those responsibilities and you have your decisions to make about your's.

I have told the stories before, but my DH wasn't happy when the chicken math kicked in. He walked around with a chip on his shoulder once he thought I had bought two many chicks. He said angrily, "You spend all your time out there at the coop, and when you are not at the coop, you are sitting at the computer, reading about chickens!" I said calmly, " Okay, Honey, I'll find a new hobby, I've been thinking of taking up bar hopping." I didn't get any more attitude about my birds.

Then there was the time he tried to play the money card. In reference to the 12 straight run chicks I brought home from the feed store, he said, "Just how much did all those chickens COST?!?" To which I again calmly replied, "A dollar each, so $12 - How many game cameras do we own?" He turned around and walked off. The answer is somewhere around 8, at $150 +, each. Poor man.........

My husband is neutral about the chickens. Chicken math doesn't work on him, he replies if it has a head it counts. I've caught him out counting the chickens and asked what hes doing he says counting heads. I'm like why? He says to make sure none are missing

I think he secretly likes them more then he wants me to know.

Last submission. I got two of my "babies" in this one. DD holding the now three year old when the filly was less than 24 hours old.

Laree, you've sure gotten my attention today! That was too cute! I didn't even see it come at her, had to go back and look, I thought she had stepped on it at first.

The rules say to post on this thread... if you want you may also pm them to thebirdguy.

Okay, thanks!!!

Here are my two pictures for the cutest baby picture contest. I'll post my third photo later.

Oh Deb, those little fuzz butts are adorable! Word of caution, I had some of the LF WCB Polish and they are predator magnets (and are either spacey or dumb as rocks) The girls were the first to be taken while still pullets, they wouldn't run from anything, the roo would run and hide if it was anything new, but would square off at my shoes. I finally gave him away. I loved the look, but probably will never have a free range flock of these.

We'll be sure to give them a pen with a roof. I think it's because they just can't see. Like some of these kids with that swish of hair always hanging in their eyes walking into a wall

It will be DH problem, he was the one that fell in love with them and had to have them. Maybe I can tie their feathers back with a scrunchie topknot!

So, right now we are winding up Day 6 and looking at Day 7 in a couple of hours. Agreed?

Yup, I agree!

My cutest baby picture, first entry:

And that's why they call it Robin's Egg Blue

I have a friend who's husband tried to pull that crap, we were at a fabric shop and she wanted to buy some fabric but said that Dan had compained about her spending money on fabrics. Now, she is a big sewer, and made all the curtains and lots of other stuff for their home, and was always making gifts for family and friends. And the fabric was only $1 for a yard! I held my hand out and said "$1 fabric" and held out the other hand and said ($10,000 Moose hunting trip". She bought the fabric.

Yay! It's Day 7
