Ive got Dum Dums! They help a bit, but I cant afford to keep buying more. lol Yarn and knitting needles last SO much longer! lol The antsyness from idle hands only lasts a little while thankfully! Im getting there! Im just sick and tired of always feeling sick and tired! Plus Cigarets are expensive! And I would much rather put that $8 a day torwards my critters rather than something that is slowly killing me over time.

Im gonna do it even if my husband doesn't!

Good for you. Also so much healthier for your DD.

Idle hands - go build another coop. LOL. Garden. jogging? etc, etc, etc?

Proud of you.

Some people find playing with a little stick, like a popsicle stick, helpful.

I'm so very sorry. We've entered a tough part of life. We're losing the previous generation and even some of our own. It sucks.

One live chick, three dead chicks. I'm second guessing myself here. I left the last chick in the incubator overnight because the first chick was pecking at it. Did I cook it? It was alive this morning when I put him in the brooder, but a few hours later, it was dead.

CL & HL- so sorry about your parents. A tough time in your lives.

Cheryl- keep it up! It gets better and soon you'll go days without thinking about it. Get ready for dreaming about smoking.

Welcome newbies.

BD- thanks for having the meeting at your fam's restaurant. Maybe we'll try some duck eggs next time around. It was great to meet members only known by their username.

Hey everyone! Man--it's POURING rain here....super hard. It's really noisy on the metal roof!

I mean, it's coming down sideways and hard!

I'm glad I already have everything fed & watered....except the geese & ducks which are out wandering around.

Looks like a lazy day...I made a peanut butter chocolate pie.

Super easy and REALLY good.

Yum!

I'm mucking out the coop today.

It's not bad yet, but I was dumb to paint the walls off-white behind the roosting bars. Some of those girls sprayed the wall when they were eating from that molasses block! The coop smells of molasses more than chicken turds.

Does anyone do deep litter? I scoop the yuck from the wood shavings and replace them all every few weeks. Need a better method. I spend too much on shavings.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
* 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1 cup peanut butter
* 1 cup milk
* 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
* 2 (9 inch) prepared Oreo pie crusts

Directions

1. Beat together cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Mix in peanut butter and milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
2. Spoon into two 9 inch graham cracker pie shells; cover, and freeze until firm.

I top mine with chocolate syrup and more whipped cream.

It's pretty much what dreams are made of.
