CRAP the trauma run is on a sunday   My Dad makes me go to church NOOOOOOOOO OMG I HAVE To talk him out of making me go  NOOOOOOOO WHY SUNDAY

I got of going to church when I was a teen by clamimg I was
allergic to the insence and it gives me asthma attacks.

I'm prolly going to hell for this though , if there is such a thing.

a few years ago my parents tried to get me to church with them
again and I put the Eucharist in my pocket instead of my mouth
which of course is a serious no no, totally embarrassed my parents
I am now banned from going with them. I told them I was on a diet.

Again, I will be going to hell for this ( if there is such a place)

So DON'T blame me if you use these ideas.

Oh and once on Ash Wednesday, I rubbed cigarette ashes on my
forehead and said I already went.

I am SO going to hell. LMAO

My kids wouldn't have the luxury of staying home if they did that. Your plan worked for you. My kids wouldn't be so lucky.

I was also the mother that didn't leave the store if my kid screamed. I stayed even longer. They know not to pull that stuff, I could just sign them up for Catholic school!

Ok I have a chicken question (OMG) I am missing eggs... The only way I know they are dissapearing and not stopped laying is because I have gone in their 2 times, seen a few eggs, Come back in a hour and they are GONE.... I dont know if an egg eating hen eats EVERYTHING? Any ideas?

Caleb, you need a hunting blind camera - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hunting+camera

That way you can see who or what is sneaking in there. Also you can see when the mountain lion shows up and then post it on YouTube for us to see!

It could also be a black rat snake. You might want to try stuffing steel wool in the cracks if there's something large enough to get in there.

I'm a little bummed out. After a long heartfelt talk with my parents
( I feel like such a looser living with my parents again at my age, but
I'm away from a 25 yr hellish relationship and somewhat happy again
so whatever) oh anyways untill we move upstate I will only keep 8
chickens (maybe 10 lol). I'm calling MPC tomorrow and canceling
the 7 chicks I was gonna get, so I can keep 6 (or 8) of the chicks
I am hatching. I'm also compromising on the coop. My 8'x8' coop is
out and I'm getting a pre-built coop half that size and only 5' tall so
it doesn't show over the fence. The coop was shown on the
Martha stewart show its really nice looking (mom liked it)
so it's gonna cost me twice what I wanted to spend, but everyone
who lives here is agreeable to this. Ha!

I'd post a picture but the app I bought for my
iPhone just to post pics to this forem from my
phone is now blocked on BYC. Arg.

I'd agree with the general consensus. Cockerel. Totally adorable boy though.
