I butted heads with a very senior sales guy at work today who is lord of his universe. He learned that my opinion of him is not as high as his. He actually called me on my cell phone to scream at me.

Now, I am the hockey mom who would take on fans in the stands who cheered when someone was intentionally injured...a hockey wife who will go face to face with angry hockey players who want to bust into the dressing room or go after someone off ice...who has had several people believe I am insane because when I rage, there is no stopping me. I actually held my tongue, took the high road, told him he certainly had that option open to him when he threatened to go to my boss to make me drop what I was doing in order to do something urgent he procrastinated on for a month...
No go. He did call my boss, I am still wound up about it, and just want to rage on something, and I am still doing what I was supposed to be doing and my boss found someone else to work on the late project.

I vented a bit on my family when my husband let the dog escape at rush hour when someone rang the doorbell. The dog heads straight for the pond across the highway when he gets loose.

My husband says I act like a jerk when I am mad. Maybe I should find that FB group and have a little fun.

Down, Girl...this too shall pass. Might be an interesting day @ work tomorrow

Any of you ever bred Red Sex-links before?
I did, for the experience, and because I wanted some replacements, having no idea what I'd get.
What I got was 2 that are somewhere between a white & a light yellow, & 1 that's a good bit darker, like a light tan.
With the roosters being white as adults, I'm wondering if I've got 2 wanna-be roosters & 1 hen-to-be.
At 3 weeks, I believe the comb of the darker one is a tad more developed than the other two.

Anybody want to try talking me out of hatching pullet eggs?

Girls and boys about 6.5 months. Been laying for a week, then I started collecting. Its not ideal, but winter is coming.

Like to hear from anyone with experience in a situation like this.

I wanna be a fly on the wall when you get ahold of the Listerine crew.

Walnut, you sound so much like me... and that's why I keep super control and use diplomacy... if I didn't, well... yeah... my OH says I'm a super b**** when I'm upset too...

Hmmmm, sounds like we all have a little crazy person inside us

Colors become a mish mash after 1st gen, so that's not a good indicator... go by combs and pinkness...

You really came to fhe wrong place to be talked outta hatching ANY eggs...

I've hatched many pullet eggs quite successfully, and in the dead of winter... so hatch away!!

Hey, that pretty black and white fancy EE pullet you posted the other day... do you get similar color/pattern like her regularly??

Which one, the Columbian pattern clean footed, or the fuzzy footed fluffy one? The fluffy feather footed ones, yes, that is the second most common color that my flock throws, after the tricolors.


Only one of these from 30+ chicks

Pullet and cockerel from the LB/EE x Cochin/EE




Pullet and probable cockerel from Salmon Faverolle/EE x Cochin/EE - many like these with various markings but all tricolor laced








And two pullets and two cockerels from Salmon Faverolle/EE x Buff Ameraucana cockerel.

None of the boys are in the breeding program, just keeping the dads.


I was really tempted to keep this guy, but he went for dinner. He was by far closest to my "no breed SOP" of anything I've hatched. And he was a really good boy. I liked his black toenails.

Crazy people are the only ones you can trust... at least we're honest... it's the 'normal' people that scare me...

Thought I'd read that about the colors not breeding true. The combs I understand, but pinkness of what?

I had you quoted somewhere and it disappeared...

Send me her FB link, if you can... I have an idea...

Now I know why I named my lil troublemaker pullet Raven...maybe I should change the spelling of her name.

Just joking I'm the same way....lol

He's nice otherwise... helps a lot of people out... usually he just asks me their questions and posts whatever I tell him, lol... took me a bit before I figured out what he was doing...

But having someone tell everyone they were incubating totally wrong and they absolutely had to soak their eggs in Listerine or they would be spreadihg horrible diseases kinda rubbed him wrong... and when he gets irritated, he has no filter...

If they are from that FB page they are crazy. I had to leave the group before I got myself in trouble....lol

Would you like the name of the group?

I wouldn't incubate that early in the beginning of laying. My best hatch was my pullet hatch, but they were all 4-6 weeks into laying. I was still a bit concerned with the size of a few, even then, but they all hatched great all healthy and have grown into some nice looking mixes.

You know "nnormal" people? Can I meet them?
