Dani, I love new chicks! You have a nice little group there, good luck on the rest of the hatch. Looking forward to seeing how many you get. Karen

Dani... Thanks for sharing the vid and Congrats! So cute!

HEChicken, Trish44 and Danz, It has been an adjustment for sure. I just keep my eyes on all the positive results the move has brought to our children. They miss Deerfield but not all the drama. They are having a great time here. You won't believe it but the twins have boyfriends! I feel like...

Hi all! Just popped in to say hi and see how everyone is doing. I'm doing okay even though I am currently chickenless. But the kids are doing really well back in town, so that's what DH and I were hoping for. It's crazy busy with 1 middle schooler, 6 high schoolers, and my 24 year old nephew...

Had to take a trip to the feed store and it rained on me all the way. Back home, no rain. Then had to run out to Walmart in Wichita, rained on me all the way home. Got home, no rain. Works for me as I think we've had plenty. I just want to swim but it's too cool for my taste. The kids went...

What a weekend! We had all the girls from our daughter's boarding school come for lunch and a swim on Saturday and today I had a memorial service to attend east of Ark City. Afterward, my older brother, who attended with me, took me for a nice Sunday drive to the Kaw wildlife preserve. We had a...

My DS's scalped the grass in half of the chickens pen before I caught them and put the kibosh on their grass killing spree. Then I made them water. The ducks loved the sprinkler! They gathered all around it in a circle and tried catching it in mid air, finally they figured out they could stop...

rvroman, you go girl on that half marathon! KsKingBee, I think you're right about Dasie Mae! Made me laugh!

Danz, Wow! That sounds like a huge project. We had a nice shower this afternoon but had already watered most of the garden. The boys were a little disgruntled about that but I can't just sit around watching the weather. I didn't mean to imply they were miffed with me, I just wish I had known so...

Our family reunion was on Saturday, anniversary on Sunday and our three oldest daughters left for Connecticut yesterday. I think I can take a breath now. What a whirlwind. This summer is just flying by so fast. It sure has been a ton of fun. The new watering system DH set up for the garden has...

That's so pitiful. I drove by a property that had a horse in similar condition in a tiny pen full of excrement. It was in the 100's during the middle of summer and that horse had not a drop of water. I called the police. I just couldn't stand to see a creature neglected so cruelly. I can't wrap...

Hey guys! My family reunion is this weekend and we have worked, worked, worked. It has all been worth it but I am ready to sit back and relax a bit. Next week I should be back on BYC again. Tying up all those loose ends seems to unravel ends we didn't know we had. Tomorrow I am having my...

LavrisChica and ashncarson, I will look into that book. It sounds really interesting. I did use my chickens this spring to get rid of most of the weeds in the area and fertilize it nicely so I'm headed in the right direction. I just don't want them eating all the produce now, even though I throw...

Danz, I can see why you can't bear to sell off the games and ornamentals. Those are absolutely beautiful birds. coleco, this is the place for all whose friends have grown tired of listening to chicken talk! KsKingbee, my cousin keeps bees and I've often thought I would try that one day...

Thank you for clarifying, I see what you mean. Good point. I think it has chicken people more on edge than most. None of my friends or family seem to think a thing about it, that is, who aren't chicken people. I'm sure they are thinking about it in Bonner Springs, but not here so far. Hope...

I think coleco was referring to my statement that it seems like eggs and chicken might become a luxury. I was referring to the price increase making them feel like a luxury. Bonner Springs may be feeling like eggs are becoming a luxury. With 7 kids at home, I'm glad I don't have to buy them at...

It's easy to breed a new flock when you already have birds. I meant just starting from zero it would be an awkward time to do that, although there were still chicks at Atwoods a couple days ago. They had a sign "When they're gone, they're gone." But, I'm not sure what you meant by the last part...

I am suffering a case of the flu! I cannot even believe it. The body aches are horrific. Rather inconvenient time of the year for it but what're ya gonna do? I am able to keep fluids down so that's reassuring but I am one miserable old woman and doing a lot of sleeping. We've had quite a bit of...

Busted! Well, Danz, I don't know how you are able to tolerate the humidity! It's brutal out there. We mulched three strawberry raised beds and wow! Sweat city. We also cleaned out the brooder and replaced all the bedding. I got some new lawn chairs ordered and even the cheap seats are...
