The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Aww. Thank you.
That is how I got addicted to hatching back in the day. Had a hen go broody. BYC friends suggested I have an incubator ready just in case. Well, she had been real good laying on those eggs, until she wasn't! She got off one day to eat and do her business and didn't return. I hurried and warmed up the incubator not knowing a thing about this business. And..thats all she wrote when those babies hatched.

I enjoyed watching mine hatch but I always had a broody handy to give them to.
I started with adult hens, and one of them was constantly broody. That hen, her own broody girls, caused my flock to grow from 8 to 30 in just a couple years. Then I bought a half dozen bantams. The population is on the decline now. I am not adding to the flock and longer but I have enjoyed all the chicks.

That looks like a good one for your tea & honey Rene, especially with the upcoming months of cold.

Here's one of my new ones, I like the bright red interior (which is full of hot coffee right now):

"Wellness" visit at the doctor's indicates that I am good for another year.

Good morning, Sour. I'm glad to hear that!

Good morning all. TGIF!
Our kiddos go swimming today at the high school. They love it…especially my kiddo.

Good morning, DMC. Yikes! I can't imagine all those kids in a pool. My head would be on swivel and I'd be a nervous wreck!

Unfortunately for her not yet! I feel sorry for her she is as miserable as she can be!

Crossing my finger for today!

I’ve lost 3 sisters since November of 2021. The last one was the hardest. She’s been gone almost 9 months. It makes you appreciate the ones you have left even more.

Hi Janie. It’s one class at a time. There will be several paras, plus high school kids, and life guards.
