I am glad you are feeling better ..put the leg up if you can ...maybe you can get hubby to wait on you & take care of the chickens .

when my hatchery chicks were small last year ...they ate hostas ...dont seem to bother them this year .
The cass 11 nibble at them some ..maybe coz they are 1/2 Sumatras ?

Cass did you get a Sumatra Roo out of your chicks leftover ?

My two little red hens are the center of attention of the two GLW roos. The other hens are taken care of, but these red hens are hussies. Noticed last night that the one is starting to bleed. Plan is to put a roo in each Eglu, move the kids from the Eglu into the coop. Hopefully tonight. Then I only need to worry about the EE roo getting after them. While I'm at it, may as well take the bully GLW roo for a little walk to the neighbor's house for dinner. I have a Golden Blue Maran, Delaware, and two Blue/Cuckoo Maran roo-lets from Tab with 8 pullets; too many boys in the hen house. Hope Luna hatches lots of little girls! We did toss the one definite clear egg last night. Not sure what is going on in the EE egg, looks like a large, dark mass inside. That one was set a day later than the others. Anyone recommend a good site/link for comparing egg development? Everything I searched for is drawing and illustration or poor quality "How to Candle" youtube videos. I know how to do it, just don't know what Im looking for.

My oldest dd moved back in temporarily. Out of the blue her fiance called off the wedding and needs some alone time. She is in pieces. Deposits had been made, etc and so now all that is gone. He is going to have lots of alone time as she has decided to move south to live with her sister in ga and find a job that she can advance in as the one she has now is going nowhere. Its hard to see your children suffer so. Better now though then after a wedding.

Your poor daughter.

Hi all! I'm also so very sick of thr rain but we've been fortunate on no flooding. My pant legs do get wet as I slop slop along though. Funny you have been talking about raising kids in today's world. I gave up working to help out watching my grandchildren so that the 5 yr old could go to a Christian School. There are also twin 3 yr olds that I watch all day. Last week was the last day of school for the 5 yr old. I have been called stupid, a jerk, been karate chopped, slapped, kicked. Nothing works for discipline. I see the same behavior showing in the twins as well. My son and DIL are going to have HUGE problems very shortly. They just saw the 5 yr old's dr and will be tested for ADHD or ODD ( a new one to me). It scares me for the next generation or 2 as I've been seeing the change every generation since mine. Sorry about the venting. Have a great day.
Stony - A moose? I would have never thought it! How cool. The only one I've ever seen was in Yellowstone, 20 some years ago. If you ever get a pic............
