Good guessing SC. Or good observations.So far I could have guessed everyone's age within three years, and I'm putting you at somewhere between 12 and 14.
It's a moot point anyway, because the median age is going to be over 40 easily. No need to do all the math. I tried to tell you. I'm 42
I want to be like you when I grow up!
Either that, or they have a great deal of disposable income that would be a lot happier in my care!
Yet another reason I need some BCMs in my life.
Awww. . . ain't you just a bundle of softness? Bird's sweet too.
You really should! That would be soooo funny
THANK YOU for that mental image!
Apparently I did.
We just look at it as a hobby. Any money we can make will deduct from the negative balance and make our hobby less expensive.
rofl That first egg was expensive.
Sounds like you'd have made a very healthy profit if it weren't for chicken poop bureaucrats.
Also sounds like I need MOAR CHIKINZ!!
Same.
Also same. Eggs I can trust also plays a big part in this. We have two roos that will be dinner soon. I should just give them away, but I really want to toughen up and be sensible. Hubbs says, "It isn't the killing or the gutting that bothers me, it's just that--" Me: "I know, the feather plucking! ME too." Him, annoyed: "No. . . I just don't want to go through all that and then not be able to eat them." Me: "I won't tell you then."
I think if I can find the free time, I am just going to do it while he is at work. . . how long does it take to process two birds without a plucker? How long have I been reading this thread again(this session)?
I demand you get a bill from them.
Somebody certainly is spoiled.
Like a baws!
Somebody help your poor wife!If you ever start posting at 3am regularly, we'll know to worry.
Ga is even closer. . .
We thought our 7 yr old son was full of energy. Then we had our little girl. . . She's one and is already giving him a run for his money! I swear, she has recently decided to pull every piece of molding from our walls. When I get the power tools out, she can't keep her hands still or get to me fast enough. She even tries fixing the vacuum after seeing me do it. She's either going to keep me young or drive me straight to the grave without passing go or collecting 200 bucks.
You're very welcome. I seem to be good at that. lol
I'll take it!! She's one of the most beautiful women ever.
You wish!
Congratulations!!
I don't see how that's possible with the pic u just posted.
I realllly hope to find some of these rocks in our area when we start breeding.
So it runs in the family. . .

I ran numbers one time and that would be a very expensive turkey dinner. Granted, I am not the best with the maths, but I definitely feel better for what I give at the grocer.
Ours turned out delicious. If this bigger batch goes well then maybe we will sell some next time.
I'd say-eggI caught a shot of one of my silkies this morning. It likes its spot, on the fork of the roost branch, just barely off the ground.
Somebody tell me it is either going to lay and egg or crow very soon??? LOL
It is somewhere between 18-22 weeks old.
LOL I was talking about turning during storing eggs and not turning them. I've done both automatic turning and manual turning. My two manual turning was my best two hatches yet. Not saying it was because they were hand turned, or coincidence.I missed the experiment. What is it? Amy and I are doing hand turning vs auto turner right Amy? I think that was it....
We do daily.....You and Amy pay...
Dearly
Exciting! Congrats!
That is awesome!Originally Posted by FridayYet

For those who've asked, my trip to Guatemala was memorable. I went as part of a team of 12. We visited a number of villages and did vision screening, provided eye glasses to 100 people. Spent a lot of time with the kids, playing soccer and other games, face painting, finger nail polish, bead and paper wordless books, just generally spent time interacting with them, and loving on them. One of our team members is a motivational speaker, and gave a 4 hour women's conference based on the story of Gideon, topic of trust. 3 mornings spent digging a hole for a septic tank in heavy clay.Some villages couldn't be visited b/c of teacher strikes going on, with protests in the streets. They had to turn back from one village b/c they were burning tires in the streets. Very hot... unbearably so. I was pleased to see such diversity in poultry genetics. In spite of the flocks running wild, and freely interbreeding for generations, the genetic diversity remains intact. Saw lots of birds that would be called: Naked necks, barred rocks, rumpless araucanas, easter eggers, RIR. Roosters were incredible, and took very good care of their hens. A lot of tid-bitting going on! One hen came into our dining room one night while we were eating supper. Of course, she came, and settled under my feet! After she was chased out by the proprietress, I snuck her the rest of my bread. Unfortunately, Montezuma came to visit me mid way through the trip, and came back with me. Just now getting over that. We survived tarantula, and ant invasions in our rooms, non functional air conditioning, I had an ant invasion in my bed one night: found the sheet covered in little red ants that bite with a nasty sting. Was thankful for our resident gecko in our room to help deal with the insects. We survived travel days up to 10 hours, and the last day of travel being 22 hours... which was made extra difficult by Montezuma's persecution of our team! Guatemala is an incredible country, beauty not to be matched any where else, but such poverty and squalor. The people are incredible. So happy, in spite of their circumstances.
No you don't. BTW-did Amy end up being a pullet or roo???I want to be like you when I grow up!
Good guessing SC. Or good observations.I'm just under 40.
I want to be like you when I grow up!Little to no debt is being rich. Not having lots of money.
. There did it for you @brown... you might have just lowered our average a bit!!!
Mine really enjoy the veggie ice blocks too, once they decide it's not going to bite back.....lol The other day was the first time the middle group tried it and I had to sprinkle some cracked corn over it to get them to investigate it...lol Didn't take long for it to dissapear after that and I made a rather big one too...lol
Some days!
Thanks Ross! I need to learn how to get one of those icons from my phone if I'm going to hang around here
I want to be like you when I grow up!
