Quote: thanks for the suggestions, but I am not going to try something I don't know how to do..

those ads have to be in the byc system.. they are not pop-ups ..
If I have to contend with fighting to read

Hi All!

FT.... We have a list a mile long too! Like I said last year.... this is where things come to die! Lost track of how many lawn tractors, lawn mowers, snow blowers, weed wackes etc. we've been through. Not to mention all the vehicles.

Momg... good one!

I know there was more.... CRS.

Night All!

It is very tedious on this site.

Knock on wood, but I had issues with the screen jumping constantly to the video playing on the side of the screen once one day last week. I exited out of BYC and rebooted my computer. I haven't had any problems since. I hope I didn't just jinx myself..............

That would be "Dear Husband".

Hi all,

Yesterday DH and I worked on the floor of the chicken coop- we finally have all the gravel layed and the framing and plywood on top. We are planning to blackjack the surface to make it easy to clean, and have also graded the floor so the water will drain out the door of the box stall to be used as the coop.

TBH I can't wait until the chickies can be put out into the coop... they are SO dusty in their brooder in the house! There are a couple already at 2-ish weeks that can really use those wings to get around... many are already getting their shoulder feathers. Four of five of my SLW, my BA roo, and 2 of my EE still don't have any sign of a tail. Does anyone know what can cause such differences in feathering time, even within breeds? I know sexing is one but 14 of 15 are supposed to be pullets. Having 7 of 15 turn out as roos would be HIGHLY disappointing.

Since it was so nice out yesterday we took an excursion into the yard in a dog crate. A few squirmed their way out but my Carolina Dog gently nosed them back to where they should be. He has really taken to them- we had a doggy friend come over the other day, who looked at the chicks and my dog (Moose) got all grumbly at him! I think Moose really thinks these are his chicks. He is so gentle with them, and has prior experience with rabbits so knows to be gentle with small animals.

DH calls them our little biker gang. Here's a pic of them on their grass excursion:

I moved the three oldest BLRWs to the big coop last night and all went well. Lots of grumbling but no major drama. Cuties, the oldest one that looked like a hen for so long is definitely a roo. (Curly tail feathers surfaced proudly.) I lost my phone (again) so I can't get any pics for you.

Waiting for first eggs is hard.

It's been a really long, emotional week or so here. My BIL was killed (23) in a car accident this past October, and last weekend we went to UW Madison so that we could get his posthumous Masters degree -- they had my inlaws walk across the stage, announced his name, and put his picture up on the jumbotron in the Kohl Center. Very emotional. Then we put his ashes into the columbarium at the church on Sunday...also very hard day.

The chickens are growing -- they're so much bigger now than even when we got them a couple weeks ago.
