Here they are...just a couple hours old..

I have never taken money for a chicken. My pleasure is in the hatching/growing...no money for that.






Better pictures once they are dry and moved out of the incubator and I can use my flash.
Off to work now...I will catch up once I return at some point tonight...late tonight/early morning hours..whatever time it may be.

You all have a wonderful day.

I'd been sticking to World of Warcraft, which I'd been playing since it was released, but... most of the people I know that played moved on some time ago now, and even my in-game friends have all but disappeared since the release of Star Wars TOR. I haven't been able to raid since having kids anyway. So I recently gave in and started playing League of Legends with them, which is fun, provided you like PvP, (I like PvP,) and also it's free, which is definitely a bonus. The biggest downside for me on LoL is that it is against the policy to leave games. While I understand where they're coming from, sometimes I have to leave. I play after my work is done and my kids are asleep. There's no telling when someone will wake up, and then I have to walk away and hope no one reports me. When I am just playing with my friends that's not a problem, especially because we Skype, but random people who have no idea why you just went idle for 15 minutes? Not as easy. I haven't gone so far as to cancel my WoW account, or anything, but.... I just might.

How about you? I am not sure if there is anyone else else who would make it through that paragraph.

If you get bored when you're done, you could come till mine!

All I did was ask for the date I needed to sign up for chickenstock by.

I'm more of a console gamer, but I am a big fan of simulation games on the computer. I have never tried WoW, I've heard it can take over your life and ruin marriages. lol...But I guess if you and hubby both play it then that works, right? I do have a WoW offshoot game for PS2 that is kind of fun, don't think it's that similar though other than being addictive. There's a bunch of PS3 games I want to play but never get around to it. That is really dumb that you can't leave a game w/o penalty, I mean, what if real life happens? That does occur on occasion...but maybe not to those game designers lol. I wish I had more time to play but alas, school has temporarily taken up all of my spare time (and also some that's not spare). And you're probably right, I might be the only person who'd make it through that whole paragraph, haha.

Also, I assure you, I will never be bored enough to come till your garden also. One is enough for me!! sorry.

That last part there made me laugh out loud. Love this thread.

You know pterodactyls didn't die out, they just evolved into chickens....

Really? I didn't think about it like that but you're certainly right.

Happy Birthday Silly...
For your birthday, I have two more spare Uggos that hatched out today. Thats three new ones now.
They are YOURS, for your birthday present.
I will deliver them to Chickenstock, just for you.

Ok tell me honestly...and this might show my chicken ignorance but that's ok...what the hell is an Uggo? Is this a real breed, or some mix breed, or just a name you made up for some hybrid chicken thing?? LOL...I just wondered because I always hear you talking about your interesting hatchlings...

This blurb was in the Detroit Free Press this morning, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg? According to Genesis 1:20, it would be the chicken, since God creates 'fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.' From a Darwinian perspective, the egg comes first, since a mutation happens at conception, and all new species start as mutations from other species."

Always so scientific...

It's not "hate", it's aggressive teasing.
Or maybe it's a case of establishing the pecking order among my flock of fans.

Aggressive teasing, eh? How fun, I like it rough!

Haha...ok so hopefully no one gets terribly offended by my sometimes off color and/or slightly dirty jokes/comments...as I said before I am not shy, but if any of you don't like it, feel free to tell me to knock it off! I promise I will not be offended.

Mom, how did manage these things? They're basically silkie turkins right?

I thought--based on the conversations I've been reading--that they must be some sort of crossbreed of something, but I didnt know if it was something Mom invented or if this was something that other people did too, lol!!

 

[Mom 2em All]

started out with a standard Turken male...and my banty silkies.

Made some odd creations.



RaZ took the only girls, which are brown..plus my little crippled dinosaur. The boys were white with black markings- which made me wonder if they were actually my Sizzles offspring..

and then THOSE boys grew up, true Uggo- which, Sara, RaZ named them Uggos...

Anyhow, those boys mingled their genes with my silkies, and my Sizzle, and possibly my Frizzle...and made THESE new Uggos.

Now THESE newest babies- hatching all mishmash days are the latest from STILL fertile eggs that were laid WEEKS after the Uggos left to go live with Ferrets friend.

And they are hatching on odd days because my silkie was broody, and sitting on dud eggs but the other hens were laying eggs in HER nest...so, they arent the same day into incubation. These are SURPRISE Uggos- because I wasnt expecting any of the eggs to still be fertile, but I candled them before tossing them...and SURPRISE...

clear as mud?

Silly, once they are all hatched and fluffed and dry- I will take pictures and let you see which ones you want,,,and as they grow and you may have ALL of them.
I have chickens coming out of my ears now.
Now I am really leaving for work..

Opa -- We've been facing a similar predicament lately. Our two farm dogs are getting up there in age and consider themselves retired. The older one, our female, doesn't even bother to meet us at the door half the time anymore. The other dog, who is younger, but much larger so probably at about the same point in his life, has become quite crotchety in the past year. He's good with people, but doesn't much want any of the other dogs or animals messing with him. He growled at his own backside the other day after he passed gas.

We've been debating for more than a year about what would be the right timing to bring a new puppy in. We'd like to have it learn the ropes before the older dogs are completely useless (and at this point I almost think we waited too long on that one), but without having too many dogs to deal with ourselves. We ultimately decided to move forward this year even though it means having several dogs in the house to deal with. It'll take more than a year to have the new dog broke in, so we hope by doing it now the puppy will be at least mostly trained before the older dogs pass.

Muttsfan - Ya'll will have to talk to Eeyore about those geese. I'm just housing them for a couple more days. LOL!

Farmerboy - The pigs are looking good. Nice job on the fence addition. Are you still planning on training them to your electric? Those piglets will grow like weeds, I tell ya. And the AGH piglets especially are too funny, because they end up looking like little tanks on legs before long. They're thick little stinkers.

There was someone else I was going to reply to but I can't remember anymore....
