Oh you and Rosie would so get along. She too is not a people person. She has friends, but people in general, nope.
Her desired career is Forensics. As of right now she is interested in either toxicology, blood splatter analysis or pathology. I informed her if she goes the pathology route she...
I would love for at least one from all the girls to hatch. Practically speaking with shipped eggs you are taking a gamble. If I had to just pick 1 egg to hatch it would be a Marty egg. Girl or boy, a Marty egg.
Hey everyone.
Well, it is time to break out old Bessie and set her up. Bessie by the way is my incubator. Some of you already know but a secret has been kept between @Ponypoor and myself. I may have hinted a bit the last month when she talked about her plans with hatching silkie eggs by her...
I am so sorry, RIP Larry. You did the right thing if it was a open fracture. Closed fracture, depending on location and severity splint and cage rest. Compound leg fracture I equate to the same as with a horse with a compound fracture. She was a beautiful girl and I am happy she got to spend her...
Not going to yell at you. Until you really know him, you need a saddle. Bareback is fine do not get me wrong, but if you take lessons, you will need a saddle. I like your dad's thinking. Right now, you do not need new or fancy, you need practical. If it fits him use this for a while. The new or...
Pastel is a pretty boy I will give him that. In truth, he is simply doing his job protecting his ladies and the chicks as he would in the wild. I have to ask, did he amp up his aggression towards you when the chicks hatched? I do not think he is a lost cause, I see glimmers of hope with him. I...
I am sorry for the delay everyone.
Momma Hens story, Part 2.
A challenge was thrown at Rosie by her Papaw. You want chickens, you tame that wild hen. He did not think it could be done, frankly neither did I. Never, ever underestimate a 9 year old girl who has her heart set on having chickens...
Oh the little troublemaker. Please, may I make one request if you do not mind. Can the lighter one be named "Chicken"? For those who do not know, Momma Hens official name was "Chicken". That will all be explained in part 2 of Momma's story tonight. I'm feeling better and after the housework is...
I do believe our dear friend has 2 Old english bantams, otherwise known as game chickens. Oh I hope they are both pullets. One if not both could very well end up looking very similar to my dear departed momma hen.
Yes, I despise all types of tea. Hot, cold, sweet or unsweet, tea is not my thing. I am strictly a coffee drinker. Strong, hot black coffee. Unfortunately right now even coffee tastes bad. So if I must drink nasty stuff, at least the tea seems to be helping. That or the robitussin I am chasing...
Hey everyone.
Ugh, I caught the crud while out and about in Lexington Tuesday. It hit me early yesterday morning. Could not breath, congestion, body aches and my head feeling like it is going to explode. By midafternoon I gave up trying to do anything productive and just hit the bed and passed...
Gather around my friends and let me tell you a story. This story is about a little game hen who would one day be known as Momma Hen.
Momma's story begins 12 years ago. For some reason, we shall call it fate, she was selected and brought to the horse ring one show day. She was brought there to...
Farewell sweet Tedward. I hope you did your job well during your stay with our friend. Don't you ever change little man, you were protecting your ladies. May you have lots of daughters with just a touch of their daddies spunk. Maybe you will have a son as well. A son as handsome as you destined...
Hi everyone.
I missed a day and a half and get behind 12 pages.
First off, @featherhead007 I am so very sorry about Hen-Rietta's passing. She had a wonderful long life with you. Also congratulations, you wanted Buff Orps, from you recent pictures you have at least 2 orps.
@Ponypoor congrats...
#1, you are in honors classes, I am proud of you and you should be too.
#2. Honors classes are harder and move at a faster pace. B's, you be dang proud of them.
#3. Strive to be your best, not someone else's. Ok, your brother has all A's in honors, good for him. You are NOT your brother...
One more piece of advice and I shall step off my soapbox. I am sorry in advance if you do not like hearing this and I probably sound very similar to your dad.
I believe you are close in age to my daughter who turned 16 yesterday.
Get a Job, part-time is fine.
Rosie works hard, does well in...
That would be Siri my last buff orp. After months of grieving for Butter and at times demanding I sell her so she did not have to look at her mom relented. I knew she would eventually. Siri now has a new nickname, Butter 2.
