I will have chicks hatching in 3 days!

Yeah! Then more in 11 days!

I am so happy.

Late this year, but still time to get a hatching season in.
Whew!

Love the new chicks! What breeds are they?

My son managed to do it too! Last full day of school and we get a call from the nurse to pick him up. He was laid out with body aches and fever. We want to do this too. My husband tried to put a club together but we don't really know anyone even semi-local. It failed miserably

I don't use facebook anymore (too much of a time suck for me) but maybe I will try to put together some type of site/email group. If anyone in York County or anywhere close wants to be part, let me know. We are really trying to do this, as my daughter has three brain tumors and we are committed to eating things that aren't processed etc. Not to mention all the other benefits of eating/shopping locally. In chicken related news, here is a quick shot of my Dominique broody and her sleepy chicks.

Congrats on the chickies! Only had a hen go broody once and we broke her because we didn't have fertile eggs and I hadn't joimed the forums yet.

How far into York county would this veg/meat/egg trade be...I often take the grandkids to a little ice cream shop outside of wrightsville, is that even close by...I have the chemical free meat ..wouldn't mind doing some trading.

Hope he feels better!

Such a cute pic! You guys make me want to have a body and have her lay on eggs!

And for those of you wanting to eat more locally grown and healthy food, check out www.backyardbison.com. They pasture raise their bison in Coopersburg, Pa and they try to keep things very natural. They make everything from steaks, hot dogs, ground meat etc. I also believe you can request specific parts of the animal if you like, since they prefer not to waste anything. My husband LOVES their bison meat, and we try to head up there a few times a year and fill a cooler. While it's not a petting zoo, you can sometimes see the bison hanging out and enjoying the grass, the way nature intended.

Well, I am certainly not opposed to meeting up with you or even bringing things to ya from other people. It isn't too far for me at all, since we head up that way a lot.

Lots of rain the past two days. I found a bird's nest on the ground this morning..didn't see any birds or eggs around so hopefully they are okay. I love seeing how birds create nests..this one was made of twigs, some green plastic netting and dog hair

LMP!!! Guess where I am going on Monday! Yep, back to Renovo. Too bad DG's store isn't open then.

I lost the bet with the brothers within the first week,,,,convenience is all around us and harder than you would think to ignore,,,mine was a long rough day at work, didn't have time to put a lunch together, even changed clothes at work that day since time was at a premium, ended up ordering a delivered sub...it was either that or not eating all day..

Looking at prices of all natural food has put me in one of my cheapskate modes, hubby hates these moods, I tend to go overboard, he is afraid I will have him eating grass or something free, I am not opposed to dumpster diving, they throw away perfectly good things
