There is a hatchery there that ships in chicks from bigger hatcheries and sells them. If you do order eggs though I'd be happy to cook them for you. I'm just north of you in Franklinton.

I looked forever last year also, ended up ordering one from a hatchery.

Good morning folks

I need to sort through the youngsters and
take the ones that don't fit into where we
trying to go with the set-up to a swap or
WCA.......I'm thinking swap this weekend.
While I like going and looking at swaps I
don't like needing to stay and sell birds.
I think DD and DGKs will come along and
entertain me.....also seen in the newspaper
where a possible but not confirmed rabies
case occured just a few miles away.......
time to call the vet out for boosters for the
pets and horses......more money

hope your day is a good one

Good Morning, Happy People!

CSB, the rabies cases in NC are common enough that I keep the titers high in all the Boys. Back when I was in vet tech school we had a dog come in that ended up having rabies, but was in early stages. Everyone who worked on him had to get boosters (vet workers get rabies shots like the doggies do) It was not fun. Nor was seeing that poor dog.

Nothing new happening at my place...so I'll just get along with my day.....

Enjoy your day today. This weather won't last!

Good early afternoon everyone! There isn't much going on around here! I had a dreadful scare yesterday and my wonderful DH worked it all out. We thought we received a PREbill from the geneticist that our youngest is scheduled to go to in March...turns out it was suppose to be a "sample" of what we could expect should our insurance not cover it all. Well let me just say that NO WHERE on the pages did it say that it was a SAMPLE and when you see a bill for $8000.00 for a service that has not yet been rendered and it's talking about the money being owed after insurance and blah blah blah...well let's just say I died a little bit and was panicking!! Apparently it was an "OOPS" on their end. I know specialists are expensive, but I was thinking $8K for a CONSULTATION was highway robbery!! LOL. Glad it was a mistake, but certainly ruined my day yesterday!!
Today is off to a blah start...while it's gorgeous outside, I have been finally hit with the wonderful addition of morning sickness (boo)!! I've tried ginger, mint, snacking on high protein (like nuts, avocados, etc..) and nothing is working. I refuse to tell DH....since this sickness is far different from the first 2, I don't want his hopes of having a boy raised. LOL.

I am still planning on heading to the show December 08th in Smithfield. Those of you going...care to tell me WHERE it is and all the fun details?!? I may or may not have the whole gang with me (DH included)...if I come, should I bring anything?? Hey Beth, I thought of trying a new "poo" cookie - this time rather than chocolate & peanut butter...it calls for NUTELLA!!

If I make those...I am sure they'd be all MINE!! Hehe...

Have a wonderful day everyone...we're suppose to have a fantastic weekend weather-wise which means a fantastic weekend for all, right?!?
