Oopsy - so sorry to hear that you were robbed. Thanks for warning us all to be careful.

I once exchanged e-mails with a "Lorraine" regarding an incubator I was selling on CL. "She" seemed so nice. We planned to meet at the TSC near my home. I was to look for a blue truck. At the last minute, I got a text asking for my address, since it didn't make sense for me to go to the trouble of driving someplace to make a sale. I texted back: I was already at TSC.
You know where I am going with this, right? When the truck got there, there were two burly dudes in the cab. No Lorraine. "Oh, we are her husband & son. She didn't feel well." Maybe so. Maybe not.

I have been robbed before, too. Oopsy, I do not know you, but I am so sad & upset for you right now!

When we try to be kind & do the right thing, there's often someone there to take advantage. Sorry!

Opa – I took your advice and ordered a few Buffs from Jason a couple of weeks ago. He said he would bring them to the Chickenstock. Fortunately/unfortunately by that time they will just about be laying eggs themselves. I also broke down and finally bought another incubator. My last one was very old and finally died last year. So, I should have some little peepers in about 3 weeks.

That surely is scarey to think you were dealing with someone else! Did you sell them the incubator? Just curious.

It is so nice to just sit here and type and not have to speak. I just got back from the dentist a little while ago. Dentist figures a filling was coming loose and that is why it was painful to floss. So filling removed and a new one put in, along with a numb tongue and side of the face/lip. I am finding that my fillings have a 15 year life span. Great way for dentists to stay even busier

Off to go and check some math and spelling....

I will find out once the numbness wears off! The dentist did say it would be sore for a few days, so I plan on not flossing

Good morning, my fellow Michiganders! What a GORGEOUS day it is! And me...sitting in an office cubicle....sigh....

Anywho, I've seen so many folks chatting about building stuff, I decided to make a poll - let me know what you're all working on!

Oopsy: Officer this is the crazy chicken lady calling to tell you some SOB stole my chickens last night right out of their coop.

Officer: Do you have current photos and what were they wearing? And tattoos or birth marks??

Oopsy: They are all red heads with rosy cheeks and yellow stockings. A few have big plume butts and walk with sort of a limp. The Rooster has a beautiful head dress and green tail feathers. He's a friendly dude and took great care of his gals.

Officer: Did you happen to have foot print kits done on each one?

Oopsy: Nahhh who in the WORLD would think someone would stoop so low and steal someones pets???

Officer: Ok Maam' we'll put it out on the wire and have all the officers keep a look out.

(LMAO sorry but its the only way I can make light of this. Im still sick about it. What has this world come to???)

Sam: awesome pictures of the chicks. Cant wait to see them all tomorrow and all of you's that are coming, too.

I called townline yesterday and told Denise what happened and had them ship me out 100 Isa. I got them this morning. So with them and the welsummers, I'll have my fix of fuzzy butts to take care of.

You's drive safe on the way out in the morning. We'll see you around 10-10:30am. If you get lost just call my cell.

Hope everyone is able to enjoy this beautiful day?

Oh my Im glad you didnt give them your address. This has me scared big time for everyone.

I use to have people here all the time to pick up their pups I wont be doing that anymore either. I never thought with 4 Dobes, Great Dane and a Mastiff that someone would have the guts to even pull in my driveway. Guess I was wrong. I promise you, this will never happen again.

PLEASE all of you, be very careful with putting ads online. LoveMyChicklets: make sure you tell your husband. Its not worth being robbed or broken into just for a sale.

Ooopsy, I would make that police report even if you think it may sound stupid. Ya never know they have caught people who have done less. They will also watch your place for a while in case that they try to come back, which has happened before, be carefull. Ask Panner123 he had someone in CA coming and getting his chickens, he dug a big hole and the guy fell in and he got him. Was wanted on serious crimes in a different state, was a real danger. Here in the UP they take theft of livestock very serious.

I am sorry you had to experiance this, just makes you sick to think that someone would steel chickens but the times are a changing for sure.


Vicki I would like to see your bunny pictures, also can you shoot me a PM and let me know details on babies thanks.

You all are out and about and I am still grounded, get to go from the house to the van for PT and doc appointments and that is about it. But soon very soon LOL I will be breaking out and then watch me go LOL. Wish I would of done this knee years ago I can not explain the relief that it has been even with healing.

Sure hope you all stay safe and sound.

Where is MJ have not seen her on.
