Hmmm, I get the sneaky suspicion you kind of like Faverolles.

Had a very nice but all too brief visit with pettech and her DH today. Her DH seems like such a nice guy I am still trying to figure out he got stuck with such a brat as Julie. I mean really she stole the 7 AmB and 3 RIRB eggs that I had been collecting to hatch. And she stole a jar of my "gold" and put it in DH's pocket so he would get blamed for it.

I was hoping to meet up with them also but work blew up and I was running around at 90 MPH with my hair on fire.

But come on, CR, as the resident rustler you should be appreciating her "stealing" skills!

• How many times do I need to flush before you go away?

That one is my absolute favorite!

Sadie -
What wonderful stories about about your daughter. It shows a well loved child with supportive parents parents who teach her well through the good examples you have set.

My kids astonish me too at times, like Olivia at the end-of year picnic in second grade when she refused to acknowledge my neighbor and her daughter when they came and said hello to us. The mom was getting irritated and asked Olivia if she was going to use her good manners and respond to their greeting. I was kicking Olivia under the table because she kept eating her hot dog like they were not even there. Once they left, she turned to me and said she will never acknowledge that girl because she always punches a little dark-skinned boy in the groin when she gets on the bus, and then lies to the busdriver that he tripped her in the aisle getting the poor boy in trouble.

For Alex it was watching Food Inc, or something like that. He has no love for animals, but he does believe that every living being ought to be treated humanely and with respect, no matter what their purpose in life. We walked out of the theater after it was over, and he told me he will never eat another egg nor any chicken meat until we raise the birds ourselves. That is why I have chickens and why I am here. I wouldn't have gotten to know this wonderful group of people if autistic kids really did have no empathy as so many books say!

Just before his third birthday, I took him to the fair and told him if he behaved well, I would buy him a cookie before we left. Well, he earned his cookie, and eagerly waited in line for it. We started walking away from the stand when he spotted another little boy nearby who was having a tantrum because his mom would not buy him a cookie. Alex walked over and gave him the entire cookie without every trying a bit of it. I asked him why he did that and he replied "That boy wants a cookie way more than I do!"

Ogress, remind yourself of these examples when you're feeling like an unsuccessful parent. You have thoughtful, caring kids who know right from wrong.

I'm in Everett Washington. Currently have 6 hens. 1 Delaware, 2 Easter Eggers , 1 Sexlink, 1 Whitelegorn and 1 Blue Cochin. I'm currently working on getting another coop up for Serama's. Anyone in the area have any?

Hey...this looks suspiciously like the woman who bought the Delaware and one of Candy's/Dana's Easter Eggers from me! I told her about this group. Is that you??

Young adult hens. Thank you

Well, DD needs to figure out which birds she's keeping. She has 7 adult birds, and two batches of chicks, 5 in each batch. I told her that she has to limit it to 8 total. I know she has two mostly black hens that she wants to let go of, let me know if you are interested in them!
