Quick Question. I read the rules, and am not finding the answer. Anyone know if a thread has been locked, if it will ever be unlocked? Any steps that can be taken to beg to get it unlocked?

My wife stopped asking my opinion when I wanted Orange and Baby blue vests for the groomsmen and I, (Dumb and Dumber). I also wanted to get matching Chuck Tailors for everyone. She called her mom crying and told her what I wanted. My wonderful mother-in-law told her It is my wedding too and if that is what I want she should let me have it. I still have the shoes in my closet.

Everyone pretty much gets what they want. And in most cases people's favorite are the ones that are increasing in popularity. Such as the wyandottes sil laced is popular and from the looks of FB still increasing in popularity. The Blue laced red wyandotte is also popular and a favorite, but everyone is starting to raise them. Seramas, marans, orpingtons, cochins......You could get lost in all the breeds. It's better to find one or two and focus on them. Yep I was there...I wanted them all...than realized *** am I gonna do with all these breeds. So I moved my focus down to brown egg layers for production and marans.

This is so funny, because i was "there" too, but never asked myself the "what am I going to do with all of these birds" question. So poor DH built me 3 coops and 2 runs last summer. And I still have birds tucked in every corner. I had a serious case of the gotta-have-it's. It's been a big year of learning for me, but I've had lots of fun for the most part. Some things I would change, but you live, you learn.
eweaber: as for breeds to increase in popularity, I would vote for the Barnvelder. I just think the hens are so beautiful!! Valuable lesson for my area was that I need darker colored birds. I have had 3 birds attacked or taken by hawks, all 3 lavender or splash. Barnies are the nice dark color I'm aiming for now. I'll be hatching some out next month, but the eggs weren't easy to find!

Its a chicken math thing! We have all experienced it. What about Wellies? They are darker colored bird and lay a darker egg.

What breed or breeds would you like to see increase in popularity in the area?  I am thinking more of rare breeds not your favorite. Thank You

I'm all for heritage breeds. I want to get Barnvelders and Buckeyes and Iowa Blues this year.

Good for you Missy. Enjoy every last bit of it, even the things that don't go as planned. On my wedding day like 23 years ago this year, it was 175 degrees (or felt like it) and the sweat was pouring off my wife and I. At one point, someone snapped a photo of me wiping the sweat off my wife's nose. The minister whispered "I hope neither of you pass out and none of the old people die from the heat." He wasn't the least bit kidding.

We made it through that, then all loaded up on a trolley car to the reception. My wife sarcastically asked, "Well it is all downhill from here" and with that the trolley car driver responded, "I hope so because my engine light just came on." We literally drove 10 mph a distance of about 8 miles and arrived to the reception late. We laughed the entire way, mainly due to my brother's bright idea to load 10 bottles of wine and 4 cases of beer on to the trolley for 12 people.

Life isn't a script. It is best to enjoy improvising.

Oh, I totally get that. At my first wedding, my flower girl didn't want to do ANYTHING to do with pictures. 15 years later we're sitting at my brother's wedding and she turns to my sister, "If you ever get married, can I be your flower girl? I promise I'll even take pictures!" So 2 years later, when my sister gets married, my cousin who is now 20 is her flower girl! LOL. At that wedding...the limo broke down on the way to pick up the bride, so my sister sent all the flowers in my jeep, told the girls to drive themselves to the church, and her FIL took her in his car, as it was the only one low enough for her to get in!

I've heard of them getting unlocked...not sure what will change the mods minds about them being locked. Guess it depends on why.

That's awesome! I was doing the finishing touches to the flower arrangements and such right before the wedding. My best man and I are there making sure we have enough bouquets, boutonnieres and center pieces. I am a slight control freak and did too much of the stuff myself. She didn't want to do anything and I didn't wanna pay folks to do what I can do.

LOL That'll prolly be me. I'm either doing the favors (chocolate and caramel covered apples) or I'll pay a friend to do them! And I really need to get started on the aisle runner and the name cards which will be leaf shaped salt dough ornaments.

I figure I don't need to breed them all...so they can just be together in a beautiful mixed backyard flock.
 
LOL I was just thinking of something. Missy you and your breeding your mix made me think. I talked to Bruce and told him about the eggs I have coming for me and some for him. He said " hang on Chad, I have to grab the nurse" than I hear..." Excuse me, I need to leave for a lil bit. I have to go look at egg colors and breed chickens, I'll be back in a lil" Than he gets back on with me..."Chad, they won't let me leave"
