I lost a chick yesterday.

No, actually lost.
I was moving chicks between brooders by age and one was small and weak so I put it in the bride I was going to use for the new ones hatching. When I opened it to add the new hatches, it was gone. Not dead, brooder is 5 feet off the floor, so dog didn't get it, I didn't accidentally put it anywhere else, just gone, lost!

Thought you might find this somewhat humerous. (Not to worry, I have 50+ chicks now from new to 5 weeks, I'm just perplexed.)

I "found" a chick last week, it doesn't look like any breed I set. Counting the egg shells, I think it hatched from a Breda egg, but it's not at all like the others. 64 chicks hatched and it's hard to verify the exact egg it came from.

Maybe this is your missing chick. But I can't reasonably explain how it arrived here before it left there. Maybe we have some "chicken quantum mechanics" at work here (that's like chicken math, but for Sci Fi geeks).

Sounds like a wormhole to me!

There are many skills being lost because our children are not taught some of the basic games that we grew up on. (I grew up in the '70s.) I played Bridge with my great aunt and uncle. I played Spades with my friends. I worked jigsaw puzzles with my mother and aunt. I played the sliding squares puzzles and later Rubik's cube which took the concept to 3D. I learned half of the Cat's Cradle string game.

It continues to amaze me how many of my interests in science have analogies in children's games. It leads me to conclude that games and science are closely related and that the key is to hold onto the wonder of exploration that we all had when small. Not to be frustrated by a mystery, but intrigued. The thrill of learning a new game, not the worry of how well we will perform in it.

I couldn't agree more...play? what is play?..and to do this "play thing" OUTSIDE is an unthinkable habit! They may get dirty or something

DH and I went to a bunch of garage sales on Friday..bought a 'play school' sand box for $3.00 and one of those 'little tykes' jungle gym for $8.00...grand daughter is going to be playing outside when she visits grands-house

I learned how to play pinochle with my parents and grand parents..that is like "spades"...fun! Our girls grew up with a childhood of board/ card /dice /puzzles games and a ton of reading...might have a little to do with the fact they both graduated high school Valedictorian....might

Would anyone like some coturnix quail chicks? They're two days old. I have 14 available. They are sooo cute

I wanted to thank you too Wingstone for your offer the other day. I ended up processing the meat birds all by myself. A huge relief!

I think that's a bunny.

When I was a boy, I had the only silkies at the county fair for many years. We had busloads of people from the city come to look at the animals. I used to tell them I crossed a rabbit with my chickens to make silkies.
