Lisa, I'll be honest. I was mad at him, too. But now I feel so emotionally turbulent, I don't know what to feel. I had to leave work early because I felt so sick. It's okay that you got out your soap box. I'll sit in my Corner of Whining.

Nah. No corner. You really do need a little getwaway. Maybe a weekend hike even? The mountains always bring me clarity. Always! That fresh air might make you feel good...just an idea? Or ice cream....Ben and Jerry's "everything but the kitchen sink"....Ya!

All I can think about is bugs. I itch everywhere. I think I have scrubbed every inch of my house, porch, the pens, and I can't get the critters off my mind :/ I almost wish I had not seen them, because **well let's face it I am not mature enough to deal with them**. But, my girls were in need of the de-bug so I am glad I did it...but this farming thing is on my nerves a little today. I am somewhat disenchanted by the grossness of parasites. Anybody else go through this or am I just a big wuss? Also one of my quail babies was born with cross beak, and one side of his head is flat with no eyeball. Ugh. So my Dh is coming home from work soon to put the poor baby down. It looks awful. The high heat from the bator I am sure! So my joy of chicken farming is at a bit of a low tonight....and I am worried about my boys down at the fair all night...not being very productive my mind is full! ***scratch!** Ew.

Oh boy. My DH came home with two bantam chickens from CAL ranch "because they were a dollar". Where the heck do I put those now? And they are chest bumping in the brooder as we speak. Oh boy.

I have the two black showgirl looking mixes if anyone is interested....Blujems is waiting a bit for chicks. and a couple more polka dotted NN looking chicks with five pink toes Will put a few more pics up tomorrow, holler if abnybody is interested. Also a chicken train to get a chick to Silly if anyone is headed that way. My DH goes to ogden raptor games a lot, he maybe could bring it next trip? Silly you still want it though with all the banties coming? Let me know for sure. Will make a KSL ad tomorrow.

Going to bed. With itchies in my head. G'nite all

Yup, they are always sold as straight run. That is the only down fall

But my Brahma's are coming as Pullets! So are Brian's 6. So it actually made it worth it because I got my Brahma's and Brian's 6 chicks cheaper then they would have been if we just ordered them separate.

So Desert, do you think they will be okay with regular chick starter or do you think I need to get the smash? And vitamins? Where do I get them if I need to?

I'd go the regular chick starter route. Additional vitamins never hurt!!

Sorry everyone for the drama. I got a lovely surprise call on my cell today while at work, and guess who it was? Yep, little Miss Sunshine ex, herself! She started in to one of her little bashing sessions, and I told her I had to get back to work. So, she called back and left me a nice, long voice mail threatening me and other such stuff. I called the police and reported her for stalking, then asked them to call her and tell her to leave me alone. And, I came home and recorded said voice mail on my computer so that I have it for later. Ugh, I feel so sick. What is wrong with some people?!

Moving on.......Sphinx, yes, I have the remaining Icee eggs under my OE. There were four developing a week ago, but I think I have two quitters, as of Monday. I'll jut have to wait and see what hatches, if anything. I can't believe how hard these have been to hatch, for such a hardy breed! Thank you again for your dedication to the ones incubating in your care. I appreciate it so much.

Desert, I don't know how you work that much, on that little sleep, and don't just keel over! I wish I lived closer so that I could come and help you with some things. Looking forward to more pictures - AFTER you get a nap.

Lisa, I'll be honest. I was mad at him, too. But now I feel so emotionally turbulent, I don't know what to feel. I had to leave work early because I felt so sick. It's okay that you got out your soap box. I'll sit in my Corner of Whining.

I am close to keeling over many times however this hatchery HAS to make money or I'll hear more crap from DH and his daughters. I'm so close just have to smooth some ideas out and I'm way too nice, which is costing me money I DO NOT have...ugh!!

Things will be going smoother soon. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not a train...lol.

Thank you

My mom and my brother would probably help out, if I did end up taking off for a couple of days, but I appreciate the thought. I do have the ability to block numbers on my phone, and I thought I DID block hers, but it must not have transferred over to my new phone when I got it. I am leaving her number unblocked for the time being, because if she harasses me anymore, I'll use that against her to protect myself. Then I will block both her and her daughter's numbers.

So, has anyone ever filed their own tooth? I got a temporary crown on yesterday, and it keeps hitting high so that it's uncomfortable to close my mouth. Well............I washed off my personal nail file and went to town. It's easier to chew, now

I've done the nail file thing too..... fact: it works!!!


Just got hoe from the Duchesne County Fair.... Tracy Lawrence was singing tonight... so tired I had to leave shortly after he started (yawn!!). The poultry was nothing real special other than a nice silkie!!! and a nice pair of sexlinks!!

That is so awesome! I was thinking of letting my 5 year old daughter enter her favorite chicken, her little Miss Fluffy, she's a Houdan, but then the stupid bird had to go and get her head stuck somewhere and rip 1/2 her feathers out of her puff on the top of her head. Maybe next year. So now she has a nice little hair cut.

ChickPlace, Congratulations!!!!!! You did so well! You know, it's on my bucket list to win one of those puffy ribbons...

Lisa, hearing about the lice and bugs makes me all crazy and itchy too. Ugh. Hope you slept ok. I wouldn't have. LOL

Red, I think we lost one of the Icelandics yesterday. But, the other four are rocking in their shells, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see pips later today or tomorrow.


I'm weak. I can't help it. I felt so bad that I took the Icees away from my broody last night that I gave her 5 FBCM eggs to hatch. I hope you guys buy them immediately after hatch.
