Hey Jaime - Hows the chicks doing? Something got into my Marans pens and killed one of my splash hens that belonged to Big Boy. Moved them all yesterday. What a bummer that was.

Mama Bear!!! Hope you find what you are looking for!!!

Sorry Mamabear, nothing here. All mine are chicks still.

 

[RBahmer]

Welocome Mamabear. What kind of chicks are you looking for?

x2 I took all my classes on my own. However I was the only woman in them so be prepared!

Be prepared for what? Did they give you a hard time? Most of the men I've been around are pleased to see a woman leaning how to shoot. (besides, a proven fact woman can shoot better than men with our lower center of gravity).

Yes, to buy a hunting license, you need to pass a safety hunters course.

I don't believe that one has to have their gun locked up so secured, that it becomes useless or a hindrance, to be responsible with them. What a person needs, is to be properly educated about guns, in order to make the right choices.

DH is on his last business trip this week! He's passed all his screenings and is handing in his resignation letter next Monday.

Emaw: Poor thing! I hope your little one gets on the mend soon. I have never heard of dry needling and it sounds really interesting but uncomfortable.

My son is doing better, talking with the Doc today he has a virus, forgot the name but it runs about 5 days with fever and all his other symptoms. Of course as he always seems to do, 103 fever and cranky all weekend with aches and pains, this AM at the Dr Office, a very minor low grade fever and happy as a little clam. Hopefully he is on his way for a full recovery, I am just going to watch out for a few other things. He just got done having new ear tubes installed and his adnoids removed about 4 weeks ago. He is a tough little kid, let me change that there is nothing little about my son. I am waiting on colleges to start recruiting him for middle linebacker, he has the size and mentality.

Dry needling is a combination of accupuncture and deep tissue massage (her words). She uses a needle that is ~4-5" long and sticks it down into the muscle that is causing the problem (in my case 2-3" into my hamsting) and then somehow vibrates the needle in/on the muscle to help directly release the tension. I am not exactly sure what she does since I am laying face down, guess I need to google that tonight. A unique feeling to say the least since there is nothing to numb the area first. I had never heard of it but I am generally open to anything once.

Try to game on the PC when I get some down time and the weather is crappy out. My focus is really on "historical" strategy games, East India Company and Total War. Tried WOW and a couple others but never got hooked.

Thanks for the welcome!

RBahmer, we aren't looking for anything in particular other than I know my oldest wants a polish. She used to have one, but it died this past winter and she has been heart broken ever since. Basically anything, but probably in the bantam breeds since they are easier to handle for showmanship. Some that I know they would be interested in are serama, silkie and cochins.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone here has any or knows of anyone that has chickens for sale. They would be for 4-H showing. My 3 daughters are looking for some new birds. We are planning on attending a poultry show in Alma this coming weekend, but if I could find some closer I would love it. I am from the Battle Creek-Hastings-Bellevue area. Any suggestions would be lovely! Thanks!

Sorry can't help! Do you have anything specific in mind? Do you want chicks to raise or just start with grown birds? Also, it'd be nice to hear something about you, since this is your first post! (oops you posted before I got mine done)..

Hope your son feels better soon.



I would love to play games, but they cause me physical issues so I can't play them... it's weird! Some of the new stuff looks so cool. One of my dogs was named after a suit of armor or a shield on Diablo. "Arkaine of Valor".... he was a great protector too!

I am kicking and screaming. Each. And. Every. Day.
no kidney infection. I have inflamation in my lower back to the point that you can feel the fire in it. The same thing going with my knees. What it comes down to is this... I have to put in my notice on the second job. I will be turning that in today.

I would like to take gun safety and a fire arms course in general. I am going to have to save up the dough. I would like to purchase a pistol and a rifle or shot gun at some point. We used to have them in the house but ended up selling them when my dad started having a bad time. He was bi-polar with both homicidal/suicidal redundancies. For some reason he really had a hankering to go out in a blaze of glory with the police down in st. Joe co. They shackled him one time when arresting him over erroneous child support charges he was fighting. Being that my bio mom kept collecting welfare and aid for me and my sibs for years when we didn't even live with her... So needless to say, when he started getting more unstable, the guns, knifed, machetes all had to go. I have re-purchased camping machetes. Just need to replace the others.
