I just want to say I'm very disappointed in everyone here. No one was kind enough to warn how stinkin' cute my chicks would be! I know they're hatchery stock, but they are so fun to watch and handle! I like watching them sleep, watching them peep, watching them peck, and watching them play 'keep away' with a mealworm. Even DH Is enamored, although he won't admit it. I have sent pictures and videos to friends and clients. I am already telling friends and family little stories about the cute things the chicks did. I find myself watching 'Chick TV' quite often. Good thing I don't have a full time job right now.... :D

Just wanted everyone to know....I have officially crossed over....:rolleyes:

haha! You sound just like me! I've had my first chicks for a little over a week now and I'm still constantly watching "chick TV" and it's not getting old lol. They are WAY cuter and more fun than I imagined they'd be. I have been slacking on household chores though, can't drag myself away to get stuff done lol

Funny line for the day...

Whether a man winds up with the nest egg or a goose egg depends a lot of the kind of chick he marries.

Omg Sally, something like that happened to me when I was a young child. I was vacuuming for my grandmother while she was downstairs washing clothes. I bent over to pick something up off the floor and the string from my robe got sucked up and started to strangle me. I was screaming and couldn't turn off the vacuum. I don't remember how I got out, think my grandma heard me and turned it off.

Just offered this on one of the facebook pages, and will offer here,

for those first time processors or even those just a little rusty,,,,,,,,I will gladly help you out and walk you thru the process...you would need to bring the birds to me, preferrably on a saturday....and bring coolers or other packaging supplies...I do have the scalders and pluckers for the process, or if you would rather learn to do it all by hand, I could do that also...

I know to some this just sounds wrong, but for others it is something they really want to learn

and folks I will sometimes work for a big plate of baked goodies. you would be surprised the things we barter for....

This is an excellent offer! If I didn't know how to process fowl and wanted to, I would certainly be looking you up. To all that don't know and want to learn, I say, jump for this offer, it's coming from someone that knows the ins and outs of the whole process. You'll probably learn more in 1 or 2 hands on lessons than a do-it yourselfer from a video. Even if you have to drive several hours for the first time it would really give you a major jump start.
I remember helping process chickens when I was 5 years old (my parents had a custom fowl processing business). I hated it as much as anybody but I'm very grateful for the experience now. I can imagine the frustration of wanting to learn and just simply not having the "gut" to try. Again I say "hop on board" with wingstone and be educated, it's for your own good.

Or...he could marry one of us, and have all kinds of eggs.
