Blackhorsehill!!! Any friend of TO's is a friend of mine! tiki having hard time figureing out what you meant by mechanical stuff? I was talking about the jiggler on top of my pressure canner? Ace had to order one. Cheaper than off the net with shipping. TO you get your butt to the Dr.! Just as soon as you get your car started.

Bf4 the gal that cut my hair this morning told me that she had just gotten over a cold/sinus thing 2 weeks ago and now it's coming back. THANKS A LOT FOR GOING TO WORK! Not gonna be happy if I get it again! Your going to do just fine, everything will be alright! And I lie... A lot!

That PR hen that was feeling poorly died last night. She'd have good days and bad. I picked her up and carried her to the coop last night without a peep out of her kind of figured it was the end. RIP! Got all my running done this AM and came home and cleaned the chimney. Revamped the inside part too. I like it much more better! Need some lunch.

Ok everyone. I am trying not to freak out about chicken math. I am thinking about how many chickens I will have by June. I am thinking I am going to be way in over my head. I need people to tell me chickens are really easy to keep, and that all will be well.
1st batch of chicks: 3
2nd batch of chicks: 5
3rd batch of chicks: 20 from Bev Davis
4th batch of chicks: (still incubating) may be keep an LO or two?
5th batch of chicks: 9 chicks
That will be: 3 Easter Eggers, 1 Cochin, 1 BCM, 1 Splash Marans, 20 Wheaten Marans, 5 silkies, 4 Faverolles, 1-2 Lavender Orps.
Seriously, I was fine with my numbers. But the Bev Davis opportunity was not expected. So as of right now I only have the tiny coop which holds 4 LF. I have 2 brooders going. Talk me down off the chicken math ledge! Tell me I am not a nut job for getting so many chickens. Tell me I can totally do this, and will love it. Tell me I will have lots of delicious eggs to eat and share. AAAAHHHHHH!
(the overwhelmed feeling has nothing to do with feeling crappy I'm sure... But pep talks and words of encouragement would be lovely)

You're a nut job.

Especially if you think, with all those beautiful outbuildings, that you will not have enough room for them.

Went to the town board meeting yesterday about getting chickens...they are going to look into the matter and maybe decide either way at the next ordinance meeting...and the reason why is our well water and only having an acre of land. My water is full of pesticides from the golf course across the street...is the township going to stop the golf course from spraying crap on the fairways...I think not...what's a little poo going to do...not much...

What I'd like to know is what chemicals from the golf course have to do with chicken Sh!t !!! What idiots.
I'd ask them what they are planning on doing about the chemicals form the golf course. They'd be sorry if they F'd with me and said no chickens but they are aware of all of the chemicals used on the course.

I know a man up here that lived near GreenBay years ago. He lived right next to a golf course too. One of his children died from the chemicals. I don't remember the details but it was proven.
Good luck, keep us posted. And if they still say no, consider getting some bantam hens and be a chicken outlaw. I'd be d@mned if they were going to keep me from getting them.

I didn't get much sleep last night either, can you all tell ? LOl Crabby pants today !!

Oh and Bf4m, You are nuts !!! Just sayin !!!

Ideal hatchery called me and left a message. I had put down some chicks that weren't available. I couldn't understand their message. Have no idea what I requested !!! LOL

Dr Ha, sorry for your loss.
Hope everyone else starts feeling better.

Have read on some of the peafowl threads that it is the girl who decides if the boy is worthy enough in her eyes for mating. Maybe they were sharing a yummy find!
