Really bites to loose more like that Cap

I feel at fault because I didn't finish the top on the run.

Hey I’m younger is it alright if I stay on here. I’d rather talk to people older than me than people my own age. Honestly we’re boring and don’t have much experience.

Sure, we like young folks unless they are whiney.

The good news is that the doctors here in the US are reporting that the hydrochloroquine is working good for most patients. My mother-in-law says she's one step ahead of the game, since she's been on it for over a year now. That's what she takes for her Lupus.

Cuomo here in NY few days back ordered 10,000 doses of the combination. Should know soon if it works like they been saying. Will be a game changer if it does. He also asked the FDA to approve a test that can tell if people have the antibodies, already had the virus and are OK, get people back to work.

Hello! I'm brand new ... yesterday ... to backyardchickens.com .
I came across your page. Thank you for creating this page!
I am retired, but I like to consider myself, 'Far from old'!!
We live on a farm where our two youngest, (of 6), children, (ages 25 and 27), live with us and help their father and I, with our beef cows, a couple dairy cows, 1 sheep, a couple goats, 2 dogs and ? 'drop off' cats.
We have had a chicken tractor and free-range hens before. Having parasites and bugs and ticks in this NW part of PA we thought hens would be a great asset.
We have six children and 14 .. almost 15 grandchildren, so we would like kid friendly hens!
I am looking into White Leghorn, Rhode Island Reds, and Barred Rocks. Locally they have Golden Comets, but I don't really 'KNOW' chickens, so I'm not too sure about them.
Any advise for a 'newbie' chicken lady?
Thank you!
P.S. I'm also not sure how to subscribe to this thread. Perhaps by posting this I already did?

We are a family who can associate!! We have 6 children. Our 4 older children are off and married with children of their own. Our youngest two, (son 25 yrs old, and daughter 27 yrs old), just both graduated college this past Dec. and they are living with us on our farm. They are a BIG help to us and will ALWAYS have a home here with us if they so choose. They help out a LOT around here, and are so handy just to have around. This is a give-take situation where they help us, and we in-turn are More than happy to keep a roof over their heads and food in their bellies. They both graduated and sub teach at the moment, with our son also a sub on a rural mail route, and an inspection mechanic. Our daughter is also a notary.
Personally, we secretly hope they choose to always stay!
Have you talked to your parents to see how they feel? Perhaps talking to them would set your mind at ease.
Best always.

Yup, your subscribed. There is a 'watch' thread button up top, I use that occasionally if there is a thread I'd like to follow but don't have anything to say at the moment.
