Welcome Kevin.

 

[taprock]

been meaning to talk to you about your avatar, RaZ. Do you think it would be possible to give us a change-up? Not that I don't like your cute little gnome, but you have so many hobbies, critters etc.,

Gnome, I thought it was of the cat!


Farmer Boy - Good luck on the hatch. My son loves those roosters and it is the only breed my husband said we can not get! He has only partial hearing but he can hear the roosters at 4:00 am ... go figure!

Has anyone seen northern lights tonight?

Welcome bull, spring will be here before you know it.

Getting older by the minute. My two newest cockerels were all roosted up next to each other just as chumy as you please. I may never understand the pecking order dynamics of the chicken yard. Just when I think I have it all figured out. They change things up and throw me off. I can just picture them out there at night all roosted up making plans on how to mess with my mind.

Y'all have fun with that one.

should never read your posts pre-coffee in the morning..

Im glad you are getting a degree in orgaNIsmal behavior. The entire degree changes when one actually reads the NI in the post.

Going to have coffee now.

Did I miss something? What's wrong with RaZ?

Nova - I gave my babies peas today. Rather, Mama did. I put them in the dish and she mashed them up in her mouth and fed them to the babies. They loved them! I hope it's not too early for them, they're only 6 days old. I figure if they were out in a barnyard Mama would be feeding them whatever she found, so clean warm peas should be OK. Right? Olive, Mom, Mutt, Opa, anyone.....?

I must have been mistaken- thought he had cooties.
My chickens wont eat peas. Seriously- I put them out there, and they ignore them. Aliens, ya know...

Ok! I gave the chuckles peas. They were hesitant at first, and then it was the funniest free for all! I do think I have 5 roos for sure. Combs are very pronounced. Also, my little cripple is still all crooked toed. I have tried and tried to keep shoes/tape on her, but she is not having it. She will be a special coop chick for sure. She can stay with Roger and Leila later. Roger doesn't perch high... Or, I will build a roost shelf for her. Lol. The things we do... Well I do...
Stupid touch pad.
I candles leilas eggs today... I can not see anything! They are due to hatch in 4 and 6 days.... Oh, I hope she doesn't get off the last egg. That's the for sure pure faverolle from Buffy. Fingers seriously crossed. I have even changed her nest out and took scissors to her poopy butt. Omg! Nasty hen! I also used my fingernail to get as much poo from the egg... Is there anything I can wash the egg with that will not hurt it? Talk about dedicated! Also, ya'll should have heard her freaking out when she could not find her nest. Was so sweet! Poor momma!
my dogs attacked my brooder today. Tore all the cardboard off. Hahaha suckers! Welded wire put a halt to their nefarious plans.
Fiametta also got a chance to go out today. She was so happy! AVALON, she loved to free range! Lol. She is so pretty! Soon, she'll be ready to integrate! I think she will lay in a week or so. Her comb is turning red. I still miss my queen grumbler thou.
RaZ, hope May gets here soon so you will feel better. Lol
Chicwanna, good luck with the new bator.
Well wishes for the doggy... I had a brit that ate carpet pad as a puppy, had to have surgery to clear him out, medicines for the formeldehyde that got in his system... 3000 big ones! Loved that dog. Some backside hole stole him from me when I was 8 months pregnant for my first kiddo....
Some people... Stole my Britney, left my pitball...And the pit was the more expensive dog... Funny thing, they had identical markings...
Anyway, now that I have written a novel...

Two things- did you mean to type "chuckles", because that cracked me up.
And backside hole...

WHAT??????
Out of state competition????????????

Just kidding...welcome, Kevin...from Minnesota. Love this Michigan group!
Taprock, that bird is beautiful!

FARMERBOY-I forgot to quote you...yay for your pineapple plant! That is SOOOOOOOOOO cool. Do you have special lighting/heat lamp for it in your house? That is soo neat.
Also- I love your longcrower. I ordered a bunch of eggs last year or year before as a joke for my brother-in-law but none of them developed . (not from you, from someone else)...does this breed normally have fertility issues? All talk. lol.


Good Morning everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day. I must get ready for work now...even though I wish I could call off,
impossible.

Raz I was doing some research on the Organismal degree seems the only instructor I could find is Ben Dover.
Good luck to all who are setting eggs.
My ADD will inhibit me from responding to everyones going ons, and I don't want to offend... hey the coffee is done.

Maybe if I'd paid more attention in school I'd know what the degree Raz is getting is good for.
