hugs MC!
I know it'll happen eventually but I'm trying to do everything in my power to reduce the likelyhood of it happening.
I have to admit that I thought everyone on BYC was crazy in their regards to their chickens... I was thinking "they're just birds"... BUT on my!!! I've only had chickens for 4 weeks now and I'm totally in love.
My husband sold another dozen/week eggs at $3/doz. I think we're up to 4 orders at a dozen/week. Ummmmm my babies are only 4 weeks old... I've got a looonnnggg time to wait. I'm glad he is getting into this and seeing the value of having chickens because when I said I might not have enough he replied "well get some more". LOL Think I should tell him I'm getting 2 geese (hopefully)? Nahhhh... I think I'll just wait until I get them and they beg forgiveness... LOLLLLOOOLLLOL
I made a rookie mistake! I'm so mad at myself. I was so entralled with by babies that I fed them some treats from my hand! Arggghhhhh my little buff polish only took 1 time for that to mean that everytime I stick my hand in there it means she's getting a mealworm. Lesson learned. I'm an animal person, can't believe I was so silly.
I don't know if it's a breed difference or not at this age but I see such a difference with my EE babies that are a week old (even comparing them back to the others at a week). They are sooo much sweeter than my polish, marans and silkies. I can pick them up (when checking for pasty butt) and after they don't automatically try to get away. They'll sit in my hand for a few moments... I love it!
