What breed of chickens generally hatch from Trader Joes eggs??

Trader Joes I think is a cross of Rocks X Leghorns...they call them longisland rocks or some darn thing...would be a good layer none theless.

I have been in contact with my DSL provider and they are working on it. What has happened is they have sold more than they can provide.
The knife guy ahh just another day. Not the first time and probably won't be the last.
I was only 15 when I first took down a bad guy (adult) at gun point ! Then the dummy made threats againts me in court. The judge told him you better stay away from that kid. He carries a gun and will shoot you.

Makes ya wonder which one is the crazy, huh??????????????

Um, isn't Pele's hair something like a volcanic flow?

She knows what Pele's hair is !
Pele's hair is a moss that grows on the rainy side, long strings of it, and is a type of air plant....just have to mist it every so often.
My brother had a 6 foot hunk draped over his shower head in his walk in giant shower~~~~~~ it is gray-blue & awesome.

Good Grief.....I finally caught up !
I was going to test download speed more...but my Favorites link is not on Google Chrome...so gotta look for it, gotta figure it out.
Just hear cluckers outside (close) & thought:
Weird, it is dark, they should be cooped.
So I goes out & half my Cuckoo Marans hens are on the porch, up on the picnic table, huddled in the dark...
I noticed their pen gate is closed...and OK, figured it out:
DH just collected eggs an hour ago...and must cloed their pen gate and when he did, he locked out a bunch of cluckers.
I had to turn on the spotlight (they were let out free ranging) and coax most in that I could see...hopefully there is not any left stranded.
Gotta get the flash light & go cluck hunting now~~~~~~~~

Our Saturday was interesting.
Good part is, DH and my oldest and youngest DD's had a Tae Kwon Do Tournement, and youngest won first place sparring and second place in her pattern! Oldest DD won 2nd place in sparring!

Bad part, our new 3 mo old puppy started having diarhea last night right before we went to bed. I was freaking out thinking of all the nasty possibilities! I've heard just awful stories of Parvo and had it in my head that's what she had. But she's better now, and after reading the symptoms list, I'm positive that's not what she had. Up until this last week, we have been taking her out on a lead in the front yard for potty. Starting this last week, we've been letting her out into the fenced back yard with Toby, our older dog. I think she must have eaten something she shouldn't have. She only had two bouts of it, but I was up all night rushing her outside everytime she stirred! She ate her lunch and dinner with no problems and seems active and happy now. Scary stuff though!

So since I stayed home to watch the puppy instead of going to the tournement, I got the house clean! Whoo hooo!
Tomorrow I hope to go out and play with the chickens!!!

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!!!

Aww I hope you puppy is better. I have a malamute/ husky mix who will be 1 at the end of this month but she had a really bad spell of diarrhea. I ended up having to feed her rice cooked in chicken stock or plain rice with a little chicken. For months!. We went thru 9 different dog foods before we found one which doesnt make her sick. She still cant have seasoned bones or anything. I have to make sure my other dog eats all the dried meat off before I can let her have it or she will get the squirts.

Congrats to your kiddos tho. I wish I could say my house was clean but with 3 kids as soon as I clean it and leave the room to do the next room the first room is worst then it was before. *sighs*
