That is the chicken math at work! ha ha ha ha There is always something new we need or want!
I have not got all my pens done yet and I started telling DH I need another one! lol I told him I want pretty blue birds! You should have saw the look I got! ha ha ha
Because we still have a run and three pens to build!
I just don't tell my hubby. I've decided to put a trio of serama in the sun room.So I told him I need a temp holding pen for the roos we are culling but really its for the seramas. It will take him weeks to realize that I switched birds on him. Once I name them he won't argue (he's a push over).

I just started this summer and decided to get Chickens, Pekins, Jumbo Pekins, and Quail. I have guineas in the incubator on lock down right now but I am not predicting any to hatch. I want turkeys, Peacocks, and maybe some chukars or even an Emu!

My Husband got me these this spring but he has said that he thought I would stop at chickens LOL. All I have to do is mention a couple recipes that include ducks or eggs and he gets me some (not that I EVER plan on eating them) HAHAHA
Ok so this is not about chickens but I am at my witts end with my two year old! She is my only girl and REFUSES to potty train. We have tried EVERYTHING to get her to go. We have bribed, begged, tricked, you name it we have done it. I know I have some experienced Mommies/daddies here so PLEASE

This is not helpful, but a cute story. My Little sister was(is) very stubborn. She would not use the toilet, No Way! She finally was potty trained(Nearly all adults are right?) but was old enough to stand up to the window and yell at us(we were doing yard work) saying "I went!" Be patient, she will figure it out.
My boy was 3 and still fighting us on it. One day he saw kids at the school playground and wanted to play with them. We told him "No. Only big boys get to play there.None of those kids wear diapers." The next day he wanted big boy pants and has had 1 incident since. You just have to find that 1 thing she really wants to have/do. Good luck.

All good advice so far, even from Ron, who knew he was well versed in something besides chickens? LOL! Here's my advice.
1. Relax
2. Don't push her, it makes it a big deal when it really is not.
3. Don't listen to ANYONE that says it has to be done by a certain age!
4. Buy some cute panties (can I say panties here?) in her favorite colors/characters and tell her that they are right here in her underwear drawer and she can wear them when she is ready to start using the potty like you do. Don't sound concerned or hopeful, just matter of fact and a little excited. Do not under any circumstances, let her wear them until she says she's ready. It is okay to let her slip them on and admire them, but take them off and put them back in the drawer after only a few seconds. "These are your BIG GIRL panties, you are not ready for these just yet! When you are too big to wear a diaper, then you can wear them all day!"
I have three boys. I struggled with potty training with the first one and it was horrible for both of us. In frustration, I said, "FINE! You tell me when you want to wear big boy underwear!" I put them away and didn't mention it or them again. Just before his third birthday, I was changing his diaper and once I took it off he said, "Mommy, I am a big boy and I will wear big boy underwear now." I said okay and pulled them out and put them on him. He NEVER had an accident after that. I told the other two that when they were big boys, they would wear those like big brother and daddy. Both of them were out of diapers between 2 1/2 and 3. NO stress, no accidents, easy peasy. Of course, when they did use the potty, and made it a point to tell me, we all had to do the potty dance, it was a party!
My boys are 16, 14, and 12. I will still do the potty dance if they forget to flush or leave the bathroom door open. They love that, especially if they have friends visiting..........

My sister was potty trained using M&M's as a bribe. When I came along my parents thought: This will be easy. They attempted to bribe me with M&Ms. I told them where they could stick that (so to speak).
My parents couldn't figure out what to bribe me with. One day we're out on the porch and I asked my dad for a sip of his beer. I always used to take a sip from his beer (just a sip). A light bulb went off over his head, and he told me to get in the truck. We went to the liquor store. He took me to the beer section and told me to pick out whatever I wanted.
I got Rolling Rock, pony bottles. We got home, my dad cleared out a spot in the fridge, and told me if I peed in the toilet, I could have a beer.
Because we still have a run and three pens to build!
