The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Razadia]

Quote: Oh they both had a ton of fun. Since my friend (June Bug calls her Ace and she loves that nickname) is planning to ride our neighbor's horse in the rodeo parade in a few months we're going to work together. The horse she's riding is pastured with my horse, so we already know they work well together. June Bug get's to ride every day we work with the horses and he's going to love it.

Sounds better than my valentine's day. My chihuahua thinks it's funny to chase my only bantam across the yard. Had to stitch her leg in 2 places and her right shoulder.

Dog got in trouble, but think I'll try to rehome/trade the poor little Japanese bantam pullet so she doesn't get hurt again.

She's okay, luckily-happily pecking away at scrambled egg in the brooder.
(the dog is smart, though; he leaves the full-size chickens alone: got pecked on the nose by them one too many times)

I'm sorry she had to go through that. At least she's doing ok now.

Just posted my captions in the caption contest. Lots of funny entries, makes me smile.

Hmm, need to come up with something for the edible contest...

(Literally. Eating popcorn - fresh popped on the stove, warmed butter, blissfully yum.)

[COLOR=006400]My Isbars are not cuddlebugs, but they are not flighty. If I have treats, I need to watch where I step. I also have never had an aggressive Isbar rooster. I would definitely recommend this breed to those with young children without concern.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=800000]Yes, he likes to get not only my Svarthöna culls, but any old roosters or hens I want to trade to him. I brought him 10 extra roosters including 2 Svarthönas last month and he gave me a 24 lb. turkey and some turkey parts that he needed to move.  [/COLOR]

[COLOR=0000CD]I'm so sorry for your loss.   Oooo.... new chickens... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=800080]When you are comfortable telling her that you would choose her every time, knowing she would never make you choose, but also knowing deep inside if push came to shove you WOULD choose her, then you are ready for marriage.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=B22222]How terrible![/COLOR] [COLOR=B22222] I know it is just awful when the cat walks on the keyboard and posts a winning bid for me.[/COLOR]  [COLOR=B22222]I keep her Greenies on hand for just those occasions. [/COLOR]

ohhhh my!!!! bawhahhahhahhaaa 

Methinks I should get a cat, in that case...

Finally caught up again. Laptop is on the fritz so it had been a couple days since I made any progress reading post. Test hatch goes into lock down we time frame. And I think I need to put a divider in my brooder so the 3-4 week Olds don't trample the new ones. Happy Valentines day to all.
