I know the feeling Meg, ooohhhh all them pretty breeds and only so much space and feed money

 

[Hollowoakfarm]

Yep, space. Feed.

Why can't I have all the pretties!?!

I've decided to focus on my layers for my egg customers, and then limit to three breeds for potential showing. Those will be the English Orps, Brahmas, and Wellies. I can play with all sorts of colored eggs in my layers, as long as they lay big eggs, so that should keep me happy. I can put all the big pretties in there! But, with just a couple exceptions, I'll limit the showing birds to proper colors for showing, and try really hard not to get sucked in to all the pretty colors there. The exception is crele English Orps. Oh. My!

Even though Hubby is willing to build another chickenhouse for me, I want to wait until I've sorted out what I really want and need. Self-control. I can do this!

I am looking to buy up to 10 black copper marans hens/ pullets/ sexed chicks and One or two (preferably two) Lavender Orp roos/ cockerels here in NC. I am in Vass/ Southern Pines. I can drive a bit If needed. They will be free range pets.

I know someone with the BCM birds that if they are laying can hatch eggs but they wont be sexed

Hope everyone is enjoying their pre-Holidays madness!

I posted in the b/s/t area...but I figured that I would post here too since I prefer to purchase 'local' birds and have had excellent luck doing that in the past. If anyone has some ducklings or fertile duck eggs that they would like to sell, I would love to buy them! I don't care about breed, bloodlines, or colors...so they can be mixed/"mutt" and whatnot. Just some nice backyard ducks to repopulate my little flock. I had a nice bunch but something got into my cage (literally ripped the door off...I'm thinking Coyotes since I've been hearing them a lot lately) and killed most of them. =( I was very upset about it...so while we construct a new Duck Fortress...I need some eggs or ducklings!

I am happy to pick-up if you're within a reasonable distance (I live in Mocksville Zip: 27028) but will accept shipped eggs too.
I also really want some GOOD QUALITY Black Copper Maran eggs or chicks...doesn't have to be right now, but would definitely like to get my hands on some by/before Spring. =)

Please PM me if you have any for sale. =) Thanks!

Hello everyone holiday season and prep has me runing around like a mad woman. We are having to rent a car for christmas week and i'm up to my eyeballs in cooking, we are making russian tea cakes, haystacks, sugar cookies, date nut bread, pumkin chessecake, pear honey, lasgna, and a red velvet cake. I love cooking but because of our limited place to store stuff we have to do it all on christmas eve and christmas day. ugh i'm tired.


Ok ya'll would be so kind i really need some advice, i recently found out I'm pregnant. I told my mom and she is supportive and willing to help me. But when i told my boyfriend he told me he didn't want it. And if i chose to keep the baby, he wouldn't have anything to do with me or the child. Well, for me its a no brainer, i have always wanted to be a mom, though admittedly when i was older, and i will not give up this baby. But i love my boyfriend and we have been together since our first year of high school. He is younger than me and only 19. I'm kinda lost, on the one hand i don't want to lose him, but on the other i want soooo bad to be a mom and he knew this. Any advice for this youngin?

Well... men are a dime a dozen... *hopes hubby isn't reading this.*

God doesn't make mistakes and he has offered you a precious gift. It is alot of work being a parent, but soooo worth it.
Everything happens for a reason.... if your boyfriend chooses not to be a part of your & the baby's life... there's not much you can do...
BUT.... he may come around eventually.

Wishing you lot's of luck with your baby & boyfriend.
