My son has cochin bantams and since the hawk got most of his he is down to a trio right now. Two black (pr) and one red (hen). He would love to have it just dont know how I would get it. Might even trade you a steak for it? lol

I have to deal with one everyday doing homework... My mom and 13 year old nephew has moved in with us... I do own my own business, got a husband, a 3 year old, a mom, a nephew, all living with me and plus being a foster parent.... I think that a stay at home mom is the hardest job out there.... and yes we are the highest paid... I get paid everyday in priceless moments and lots of hugs and kisses... we just have gripes about our job like everyone else...

Hi Misty,
No Harbor Freight had them on sell so I picked up a couple. Plus I have turned my man into a opossum killing machine and the coop and yard are secured and locked down so no critter problems anymore at night. Knock on wood!!

You doing ok? Read your posts yesterday, just wanted to remind you to take vitamins. It helps alot.

Well still trying to figure out this order from Cackle be back soon.

I am taking so many vitamins but my body still aches. I need to get more dairy down but it makes me sick (except butter). Been eating lots of salads and steak and potatoes. Need some good face cream that I can use daily and doesnt feel sticky on my face. Oh and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Have breakouts but not as much due to the fact I do not let stress get to me any longer. If I feel stressed I get out of the house and do something. Or play with my animals. Stopping smoking is going okay but my dr. said would cause me too much stress too quit cold turkey. I smoke 1 a day usually. You and Uli (misspelled probably) need to get by when you can to see all the new babies. I would order some if I wanted standards.

i am in the process of quitting too, and found this thread on quiting here on BYC,

lots of tips and stuff- its hard to do, but so far am hanging in there

LOL yep well u have a house full like us! I love the hugs the kisses, the looks on the kids faces when I volunteer at the school. There faces when I am there like clock work to pick them up each and everyday from school. Its hard and somedays I dont even wanna get out of bed these migraines and sensitivity to the sun is harsh. Even though not been much sun lately. Well better get some chores done. Stay At Home Moms Rule!!!!

Thanks for the chart. I was wondering if the white x blue or black would come out splash. I still like the white ones though. I guess I need to get a blue rooster also.

From what I have read, white are unpredictable, unless you totally know their background.

After seeing a white ameraucana rooster on Ebay I knew I had to have one and I will name him Captain Marshmellow!

7-11 and braums ice and pumpkin seeds helps me but I have lots of will power also. My mom smokes a pack a day and has them layin all over the house. But there not my type so that helps too. I just dont want to eat alot instead of smoking. I am already over weight as it is. Thank you. Misti

Black pepper all over

Coincidentally, the exterminator was just here an hour ago because we have carpenter ants in our house. He'll spray for them. I asked him about the little "sugar" ants we get in the kitchen and told him I put 20 Mule Team Borax on the window sills and in the back part of the counter tops. He said that will get rid of them. He said there is a product for that, but the 20 Mule Team Borax or any other Borax powder you can get will do just as well. It isn't poisonous to humans or household pets.

I've never tried it but I hear that planting Baby's Breath will deter Carpenter Ants. Think I read that in Organic Gardening magazine years ago.

Actually you spelled his name right. Where are you living at? I would love to come see all your new babies. Things are really hectic right now with finishing up my project for my masters, getting the place cleaned up and more effienct and over spring break we are going to New York. After Spring Break things will hopefully settle down and we can come out to visit.
