Sorry to hear about your hen Briana, how is she doing now? I wonder if she could be laying internally?

I get cayugas tomorrow, woohoo!!! Thank you Kim!! Now we'll spend the afternoon making room. Well, not really making room, we have plenty but room for them to sleep til we make the taj mahal (that's how my bf does things) in the garage.

I've become SO attached to these call ducklings and I'm always cuddling them or talking to them like they're babies. First thing out of my bf's mouth when I told him the cayugas were coming tomorrow..."they're NOT sleeping in bed with us when it gets cold!!!" LOL. Then he said "I suppose you want me to put a mini jacuzzi and surveillance cameras out there so you can watch them on the computer all night" I then asked him if he could make the jacuzzi? LOL

Try to take care of yourself first and foremost. Take time for yourself and TRY (I know, I am a Mom too) not to worry about what they are doing. You will be in my prayers that things will just fall into place for you!

Thank you ... I know that I should... if it wasn't for my grandson.. who I have watched since he was born, she would of been out a long time ago... She is 31 years old, I think she has lost her mind!! she has gotten herself into trouble because she has a temper with her ex. I have told her to leave him alone unless he is putting my grandson in harms way. She does have reason to be mad... but not to go crazy!! Then when I tell her anything... she is rude and tells me I am old and don't understand the way things are now..... She has a good job.. but hasn't saved any money...I don't understand????

I am having to deal with an alcoholic husband.. who has though always worked..and is ready for retirement... ( I can't even tell you how that scares me)... I am ready to hit the road running!! but then I would be doing something crazy..

I might just have to give my daughter an ultimatium... either get yourself straight or get an apartment and daycare for my grandson. I love him to pieces, but she has to grow up sometime...thanks for listening...

I think things happen for a reason in the time when they are most needed. I got my first egg today... actually there was another egg buried.. but I do not know how long it was there... so I wanted to share today my happiness.... I was totally sad this morning.. and now this happened... a sign of hope.. a new beginning???

Good luck Gallinamama. With your daughter. Congrats on the first egg!!! It is so exciting.

HBH my hen was culled last night. I do love my chickens but I have to remember they are farm animals and for the better of the flock I don't keep sick birds around. She was going down hill fast and had stopped eating and drinking. For 2 days she strained to get that egg out and I think all the straining may have broke it.

Well the county clerk MIGHT have your property survey on file but most likely they don't. They have little medal spikes put into the ground at your property lines and if you can find those you can mark them yourselves. If not you have to call a property surverying company and have them come out and do it, it's expensive though!! I looked at our deed and it was a bit too confusing, saying things like "45 degrees from point B" and stuff like that.

On a fowl-ish note.. My ducks just started to lay about two weeks ago and one of them laid a siamese looking softy, laid next to their kiddie pool. WEIRD. lol I at least got an egg from them each this morning, so its all good. My hens have started to come out of their egg strikes! I'm getting around 7/9 eggs a day! YAY! My incubator should be here any day now, I keep looking at the door expecting the UPS man to be there with a nice brown box for me. I'm not going to be able to keep all the birdies I hatch, who wants some!? I'm in the south Lansing area!! I'm going to be hatching EE's and Isa's/EEs.

Oh happy day!

I would tell your daughter that's living in Your home and eating Your food to watch out or she'd be in the street. Yes, she is going thru a very difficult time, but that does not give her the right to take it out on you. Tell her she needs to grow up and behave herself. You are there to support her in any way she needs and you don't deserve to be treated like that! Tell her she needs to respect you or out she goes! Sincerely, Mean Mom...

Ditto!

I have also come to the conclusion that it is true that "you can make some of the people happy all the time but you cannot make all the people happy some of the time".

Ditto!
I know with a grandchild involved that it is hard, but still demand respect in your home.
