Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Are the chickens going to wear party hats?

My chickens wear clothes, I think you need to dress your lovelies up for the party!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The chickens were dressed. They wore saddles with such patterns as the American Flag, Butterflies, and ladybugs.

I have had trouble with BYC kicking me off the site, I enjoy your "company" but the aggravation is very annoying. Might not sign in again.

Right now they are switching to a new site and in the transfer there are some people having issues of all kinds. Please be patient and hang in there they are trying to get it all worked out.

I have not been kicked off. The site was terrible fore several days last week and it was very frustrating.

I am using a pc and fire fox.

California earth quake!

I am over a little Mountain from Napa. I slept through the quake but my DW was up getting pain meds. She felt it and the chickens did not like it at all.

Good Morning, All!!!

I have had a terribly high attrition rate... But almost 100% from predators.

I know my sister has had predator issues too.... But I don't know how bad. I know just one month back she lost maybe half of her turkey poults to a giant black snake. (I think she lost 4, and had 4 left)

I have yet to get a single chicken to 3 years of age.. They keep getting eaten. -sigh-

I'm sorry. It's hard when they die, no matter how they go.

I love you coffee pic!

Thanks. I'm old enough to remember the Kool-Aid guy that was shaped like a big, fat pitcher...the commercials of him running through the park being chased by a crowd of kids....Ah, the good old days of commercials.

Actually, the snake story was pretty funny.

She called me on a panic, so that I could talk to her and help her calm down, as she is running through the brush in flip flops with a shotgun in the pitch dark.

She saw the snake, took a shot, thought that she probably mostly missed, and tried to reload the gun. You could tell that she was sure the snake was going to jump up at her from the bushes. She was so nervous that I could hear the shells rattling in her hands. She finally got it reloaded, but then could no longer see the snake. I fussed at her, and told her that if she wanted to keep beating bushes, I insisted she first go back to the house and put on real shoes.

She went back to the house and hung up, so that she could get the left over turkey poults and bring them into the house for the night. The snake had crawled straight up the wall and entered through an open eve. As she is walking back and forth with feeders etc. she saw the snake! It had returned, and was trying to get back under her house where it must have been living, but didn't fit in any of the holes anymore because the four turkey poults had made it's belly too big. (I think they were already a month old, maybe even 6 weeks). She was too scared to shoot it (it was right next to her AC) so she whacked it to death with a hoe, probably screaming the entire time. She measured it the next day, over 5 feet long. Which was funny, because in the dark, scared half to death, she was sure it was 8 feet.

That sounds like a story my brother would tell about me, except I'm not calling him if I see a snake. But running through the brush in flip flops to save my feathered babies, screaming on the phone to some dear, trusted soul who's way too far away to do anything to help....
Well, I think I've bared enough of my soul for one day, so...

How 'bout the Dolphins???

I remember this too.

This was in yesterdays paper:

I miss Speedy Gonzales!!!

Cute @ronott1 I can actually still hear his voice in my head.

Good! =D

I'm not tech savvy. Is there anyone who can help???

I hope the wine was the all that suffered!!!

Six people were critically injured. Luckily it happened at night, it could have been much more devastating if it occurred during the day. I live near San Francisco, so several miles away from the epicenter, and it felt like I was on a boat with wave after wave hitting the side of my bed. My prayers go out to the people near Napa and American Canyon.

I'm sad for those three and their families, but I'm really glad for everyone else.
