Your ladies look like my eggers, Olive & Damon. Damon is blonde and Olive is a redhead.. only way I can tell my girls apart.


Looks part leghorn... though I could be wrong.. the head looks like my Odin.


Same on the card front. I never buy cards unless someone dies and I'm trying to avoid talking about it.


My mom had me start helping wrap gifts when I was 12. Including my own. I still resent it. Then I was farmed out to help my aunt wrap gifts for her kids. I don't mind wrapping gifts & I'm pretty good at it, it's the whole point of having to wrap your own presents.


And adults expecting gifts from their children. I get the I'm an adult and I buy a gift for my parents, but it should NEVER be expect that a CHILD have to go out and buy a gift for their parent. My ex expects and gets upset if our kids don't get him a present. My younger child was actually using her own money that she was given as birthday gifts to buy presents for her father. I told her that's bull and her step mother should be responsible for helping them provide their father with gifts. I also keep telling them I don't need gifts & I can buy my own. My younger one was going to buy me a coffee maker and her sister told me. I told her that if she buys me anything I was going to return it. (not a cheap $20 coffee maker, a Keurig. I have one. I don't need one. I told her the only acceptable gifts are coffee and nail polish.


My brother did this w/ my nephew. I felt bad for him b/c I felt like he wasn't give the chance to be a kid. He never did the toothfairy thing either. Personally, for us, the Santa thing is more about letting kids be kids and believe in something fun. But I'm the same way about the toothfairy and the easter bunny. I went all out with the toothfairy. For each tooth they got 2 $1 bills folded as hearts. Each child lost 2 teeth in one day so that day they got a $5 bill folded as a heart. At the end of the run my youngest was writing notes to the toothfairy. It was really sweet. My oldest figured it out b/c her friends ruined it for her. She asked me if it was me and I told her yes and she cried. Not b/c she was upset that it was a lie but b/c she was upset that the magic of it was ruined. I had her promise not to tell her sister and she actually helped her with her notes. We have an elf on the shelf, Holly Jolly Christmas.. she sometimes leaves the kids treats while she's visiting. I know they know it's me. I deny it, but I think they like that I continue it. She was never used as a behavior modifier (hence the treats)... she is just fun. Both my kids had a substitute teacher tell them they were all too old for Santa and that it isn't real which annoyed me b/c no one should be allowed to ruin a kid's happiness.


In my house Santa always has different paper and it has to have Santa on it. I'm certain my kids don't care nor do they notice... but I do it anyway b/c it makes me happy.


Let me know what day you're going and I'll get one too and we can all do lunch. I'm a non-believer (not going to get into it... I'm not a religion hater & don't belittle someone else's beliefs). We do Christmas, have a tree, have gifts, have a big dinner. It's less about religion to me and more about spending time w/ family/ friends.


You could make pillow cases and use them as a bag too! Just instead of making the draw string just wrap a ribbon around the top.


Your puppy is beautiful & the name is perfect!


Why do you want to separate a roo? Is he getting too frisky or do you not want him fertilizing eggs?


Best dog ever.


Mine have slowed, but not by much. I'm getting 5-6 eggs a day where I was averaging 7-8 in October. I do supplement light, but I don't think it matters to them b/c 1/2 my birds are on the roost by 5:30 every night even though the light is on til 7:30.

My (POSSIBLE) roo is only about 9 weeks old right now, and not aggressive or anything. In fact, Holy is pretty sweet. I just don't want a bunch of roos ganging up on my girls until I decide on which 1 or 2 roos we want to keep, so I was wondering when a good time to separate them.... Holy is being raised by Xena and I don't want either of them to get separation anxiety... especially since she is still mothering them!

Ohhh.. Personally I'd wait until you start seeing a problem. Either aggressiveness or someone running around mating everyone. I kept steve in w/ all the others even after I realized he was a boy, but then when he starting going after the non-laying pullets I exiled him.

It's adorable! Are you keeping it inside for the babies or taking it outside?

I felt bad for mine b/c sunrise is 7:45 and sunset is 5. I felt like they didn't have enough time during the day to eat and chicken about. It's just a 40 watt LED light. Their window face to the north, sun is in the south, Door window faces the west, so they don't get any light in the coop from the sun until it's past the 1/2 mark, then as the sun sets it's dark in the coop before 5.

Put a window on the south side?
 
I'm thinking about using it for my broody box since I can get in the top easy.
