your in-laws wont visit because you raise chicken? thats just to funny but then maybe there is a hidden blessing in there somewhere.

It's not just the chickens...it's her entire country ways...I visited her and couldn't wait to play with the chicks and enjoy her country hospitality...she has even reformed her DH (the in-laws son) and I must say he is a fine man! ...and if you can't tell, I'm her proud Mama! LOL

I believe my MIL exact quote was " I cant believe my son married such a hick" and " why do you need so much land?"...but she actually came around to starting to like me alot but had cancer that left lasting effects and is not well at all and cannot walk anymore...its the SIL and FIL that are the snobs still!!

And her husbands brother actually said today when we went down for family dinner and I took some fresh eggs for Mrs Sue( sis n laws MIL!!LOL) who I LOVE that fresh eggs are good until you crack one and there is a chick in it...thats why he buys his from the groc store...to which my FIL says they must have been 3 months old to have a chick in them

....NO CLUE!! I tried to explain where chicks come from and how they grow but they dont believe me!! LOL

3 months?!?

I could NEVER wait that long for a cute chickie-dee to hatch! LOL They have no clue but the sad thing is...you'll NEVER be able to get them (know-it-alls) to understand either!

We have our first egg!!! They didn't make it for Christmas, but Lou Ann is happy with the day after. Haven't heard her that excited in a long time. Pretty sure it was Nina, one of the Buff Orps, and the only one that was squatting. I will post a picture later. Haven't figured out how to do it on the forum from my iPad.

So did you see Lou Ann do the "my chicken just laid her first egg" Dance?

Congratulations!!

I mostly love my MIL except when I don't.

But she's my kids only living grandparent and they adore her.

My kids gave me this for Christmas:

He's awesome!
