Gary that is awesome on the chicks! I'm sure super excited to get my OE eggs from Sphinx for the Easter Hatch A Long. I hope I have a good hatching, but then its a lot of chicks to keep around to get me 2 nice big fat Olive Eggs out of. I'm going to hatch out some Blue Americana eggs too for a friend. I told her I hope they all hatch out for her, but she already said she only wants 4-6 of them, so who know, I might have to keep a few of those too. I will need a chicken baby sitter for sure in July when I go to my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary in Colorado for a week family reunion. And I don't dare ask one of the neighbors if I have about 12 or so chicks running around in the grow out pen, I did get 5 a new home, and I'm down to 12, which is what I believe they told me I could have, but 4 are Bantams, you really can't count those right. LOL I did have 22 out there for about 7 months, and no one said anything about it. So I don't really think anyone is going to complain unless I get a Roo out there.

Hey Brad. I remember you telling us that chard would grow back. Mine is. I have grown it for that last couple of years, but, didn't leave it the first year. Yes, it will come up during the warm months after having been picked, but I left some in the ground this year to see what would happen..and it's coming up. Yaay!

gary yeah i am sure it would be hard to cut them. i have never done mason bee nests. do you just leave the tubes out, kinda a if you build it they will come situation? hey cynthia glad your chard is back. dont be shocked if more comes up in a place you did not plant it, well that is if it got a chance to go to seed. its great stuff. and so easy to grow. i always have lots on hand for the girls and the rabbits

Did it again. I brought home a little Polish that was being stomped on at the feed store. They let me have her. She seems to be perking up better than the duck did..still alive and have been home for over an hr.

My poor DH! Went to the drs. office for him today. His left foot started hurting a couple of days ago. Started swelling noticeably by yesterday, and last night he was in a lot of pain. I looked up gout..this morning it was way swollen. Yep, doc says gout. I hope this only happens once for him. Sometimes that's all that happens, or they will get it once in a great while..flare up...but some folks, like a guy we know, has it happen every single month. It is so painful. The dr. gave DH a type of anti inflammatory that shoots for the joints. Hope it works quick for him. :/

The dr told Ed to eat red cherries. Canned or dried for his gout. Worked like a charm. He gets it ever so often. Seems to be caused by processed foods

So I have two 6 month old hens... they're turning red and squatting... but not laying. 6 months!!!! And they are 1/4 leghorn/ 1/4 BR and 1/2 Marans... I thought they'd lay around 5 months.

So, I decided to post on here that if they don't lay in the next week, they are going into the birdie boiler! (Trying to send the vibes to the protesting girls... I hope this works).

Good to know, sundance..will let him know! Thank you!

9 eggs out of 12. Same number as her first hatch. Does anyone want a OE, normal price?
