Kim,
Mine may not be laying till end of March, early April, but let's all stay in contact about this swap thingie and see what happens!
Do you all ever go out in the morning and get a huge shock over how much your babies grew overnight? I went out this morning and they looked like they had doubled in size again!
Delgirl- yeah, now that Christmas is done, maybe we can get the slogan thing decided on!

That is only in the face of a dingbat lawyer....aside from those moments *ahem snicker* I am a sweetie and play with my chickens and ducks.
DH always told his teammates in the service that while I was a sweetie, baked for them, did their uniforms and took care of their dogs on deployments that "Dynamite makes a nice bang but nitro makes a bigger one...so use caution" That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Rustyswoman....okay here are the reasons you should be lifting.... 1 - you will feel better 2 - you will sleep better 3 - you will use the food you eat better 4 - you build beautimus muscles 5 - you need to feel the burn - it is an addiction 6 - you will be healthier and 7 - it is just plain fun! As Joletabey said it is a cleansing.
On the Delaware topic of this thread...ahem Cannonball has done something really goofy this morning...scared the crap out of me too. I open the door to her little coop/brooder, she jumps/flies out the door, slams into my chest and slides to the floor...then she just laid there looking up at me and "purring". I picked her up and she is fine and was not hurt.
Do chicken purr? That is the only way to describe the sound she makes when she s being overly affectionate or wanting attention to the being a nuisance point.

Kathyinmo - this is a little different from her trilling noise but it is cute. she has a very soft quiet voice unlike her half sister Fattie who screams everything she says.
rustyswoman - she got the name Cannonball because of her hatching process. She pipped and struggled for 8 hours without removing the pip triangle. So I reached in a popped the pip piece off...then she struggled again for several hours and zipped but there were stringy pieces of the inner lining holding the shell together and keeping her inside so I reached in and pulled off three of these stringy things...which by the way were like leather and I doubt she would have ever gotten them broken. So, DH and I are standing there watchign with DD cooing and talking to the baby...suddenly the shell rocked and this baby literally pushed and flew across the incubator and slammed into the side of it. Scared the crap out of us. She laid there curled up, stunned for about 30 minutes or so...she was very tiny and exhausted too. So because she shot out of the egg like a cannonball leaving a cannon....I named her Cannonball. Here are some pics of the little cutie hatching
after she flew across the bator and hit the side
about 10 minutes later (I had to clean the eggshell pieces off of her and the top of her head had goo on it too, she was a mess
In the brooder - Fattie on the left and Cannonball on the right Big size difference.

Oh my, she is a survivior! Little sweetheart. She has taken it upon herself to live up to her name though, barreling out the door into you, what a zest for life!
Cetawin- yes, and isn't it the prettiest sound!- Kathy called it trilling- mine don't seem to trill (a two note e change) as much as doing what sounds like crooning limited licks with a wide vibrato. And then sometimes it just sounds like cooing or humming under their breath- I had no idea they had such a wide variety of musical sounds.
Whoa- posted at the same time you put in the Cannonball naked on the bear rug shots- Wow! What a sweetie. And thanks for the little Thor pic, too -
