Wow! They have gotten so big!!! How do you post a video on here? Do you have to load it onto youtube or something first?


Lisa ~ Go ahead and convert it! You can just have an in-house brooder room!!!

Ken cancelled his FB account, so he put it on Vimeo. I then put it on here.

You are sooooo bad. I really want my bathroom back. I have plans to paint (once I clean and bleach everything)

The bathroom??? You've lost your mind! Lol

Your thinking just goes out the window when it comes to chicks!

How old are they now? They look old enough to go OUTSIDE!! Hehe that's why I'd be no good with chicks

The big ones are about 4-5 weeks. The little black cotton balls are maybe 2 weeks old. (Try getting a straight answer out of the people at the store)

Where's the shifty eyed smiley?? I'm technically not supposed to say anything yet... To anyone we know. Not breaking the rules!. Having rough luck so far and not quite into the safety of the second trimester just yet. But, yes, were expecting around November/December.

Didn't realize fatigue and cravings started so early. But also didn't realize how many different smells I encountered daily.

CONGRATULATIONS! Will be praying for you, your baby, and DF!!

It's a challenge to teach them how to use the toilet and not to drink that water, isn't it

I am working on it!

Here is what hatched 13 days ago




And here is what hatched 3 days ago

Chicks are cute, but Charlie is absolutely adorable! Very alert looking boy!

So I ventured off into other regions of this forum and people are pretending they are fairies and wolves and mutant zombies and then they are actually acting it out and conversing about it....what gives with that?

That is what you get when you venture away from us. Come back home.....

i am up early this morning waiting on the sun to come up so I am watching TV. Like always nothing on that I have not seen or want to see. They have just about everything on Tv these days so why not a home farm channel showing everything from hatching eggs to raising cows and all things in between. Or even a show on the DIY channel.

Ok I'm not ignoring anyone, I will go back and catch up on all the events since I left last night through this morning but I just wanted to say I was thinking about some of our conversations this morning and I just invision this old diner where we all gather everyday and hang out. kind of like cheers but in an old diner type place, like the ones you dont see any more.
When I realized what was going on in my mind I just LOL. Why I see that in my head I don't know. But I can see Harvey and Clovisman sitting there hitting us with their quick wit and Magpies and Lisa backing them up and in walks Jellybean and we all give her a good 'o hey girl as she walks in..... Because she makes a point to acknowledge everyone's posts! Loveinghens, tjo, Gary, hungnguy, slipswife.... I know I'm miss some folks but anyway....

WOW, I need my coffee...

 

[orumpoultry]

Those are forums for the people that have front yard chickens...

I'm dying!!

 I'll keep my live yard birds out back. No mutants or zombies for me. Lol.

You never met my one legged one winged rooster Derby. Wonder if incan rustle up a picture of that club footed wonder... He made igly pretty.


So im sitting here with my morning coffee, half awake, waiting on DF to get home from work and I hear SQWAAAWK SQWAaAaAAAaAaaaaawkkkkkkk!!!!! Apparently the great horned owl caught a chicken somewhere and is eating it alive on my shed. Blech..... The dogs are circling beneath it licking their lips catching everything that falls down. To much for me this morning.

Oh well, since DF is bringing home breakfast I don't have to cook. Guess I can go change the litter in the baby chickies pens.

Congrats on the little bean! That's exciting! Praying for a happy, healthy, stress free pregnancy!

Okay Harley here is your chance to become famous on your Farm Channel. You need to come to the old-fashion diner A1momof3 is going to open. Ms. Jellybean, henless, and I will be cooking breakfast. Hung is bringing the entertainment along with Slipswife. Everyone else will be sitting around debating, laughing, and discussing ideas.

Coffee anyone? Egg coming right up!

Going to call discovery and see if they will back us on this. We can talk about chicken ideals and go to peoples homestead and see how they do their stuff or show them ways to do things better.

Backyardchickens.com
breeds genetics and showing forum has info on chicken sperm. and Turkey too

copied this from *Chicken Sperm Bank page 3*
This is from the Merck Vet manual: Chicken and turkey semen may be frozen, but reduced fertility limits usage to special breeding projects. Under experimental conditions, fertility levels of 90% have been obtained in hens inseminated at 3-day intervals with 400-500 million frozen-thawed chicken spermatozoa.

BYC Everything you want to know about Chickens

and some things that might surprise you!

It's a one stop shop for everyone.

I think that would be a cool show. Tons would watch it. It would be like a televised coop tour that some cities have.

The only catch is...you have to do it Naked and Afraid! LOL

Isn't that what the latest Survivor show is doing? I don't watch it, but it seems that is what I got from a commercial I skimmed though.




T - 4 and counting!!!!

We got a storm last night complete with hail. Of course my car was not in the garage.....thankfully the hail was tiny. Mostly. 0.2" of rain. Not a lot but I will take it. Everything is still dripping wet this morning and it is a bit foggy. I believe that means a trainer ride again today. :/ Hope it dries out later so I can mow the lawn after work.

Hope everyone has a great day!
