Things you wish you could say

Yep. Might get five males out of a batch of seven.
(That was a very noisy year).

I think one year we got like 3 females out of a minimum order. Very spoiled gals

Got up just now to check the incubator, found this on my news feed:

Bunchems look like colorful cockleburs to me, and evidently act exactly like them, too. Photo is from story:

Dear goodness, that poor girl.

Won't say what I wish I could say.

I'm sorry. That came across very rude and insensitive.

I apologize.

Last year I got 4 boys out of 12 first batch of chicks, and second batch was 5/7. Only one is still living.

I still say "ice box". I know some people have no idea what I am referring to, and others think I mean an ice chest.

Ice box; ice chest; freezer; that really cold part of the fridge where we keep the things freezy-cold; that part of the fridge where nearly-finished bags of food get lost for a year and then turn up; the um-ummm *snaps fingers* ummmmmmmm fridge -- no, freezer (or ice box or ice chest).

Last year I got 4 boys out of 12 first batch of chicks, and second batch was 5/7. Only one is still living.

One year I had 16 chicks of one breed, with 10 being pullets.
I had 26 of another breed, also with 10 being pullets.
So much for ordering more of the second breed because I wanted more pullets
