Our introduction to keeping chickens, the high's, the lows and pics of our journey.

[Latestarter]

Those are some really pretty eggs Lindz!

 

[vehve]

I remember that video lindz, that was definitely an accent Really nice eggs.

That's something I hadn't thought about, it's interesting, but sort of opens your eyes to how unpersonal the food production business has become at the same time.

Have you figured out who your new layer is yet?

I guess I just assumed that the egg farms raised them from chicks. I guess small operations do, but the bigger ones seem to want the hard work already done.

As it happens, I caught Sunny the SUssex in the nest today, laid a nice egg. not certain if she is new, or if she is the mystery layer. Hopefully tomorrow I will have more time at home to keep an eye on the proceedings. That wireless camera is looking attractive! We are up to 5 eggs today, and no dark layers yet and no blue eggs either. Has potential to be the day we break our quantity record.

Not really, you have Chicken 1, Chicken 2, Chicken 3, ..., and Bob.

They name theirs 'Big shed' (30,000), 'middle shed' (15,000) and 'end shed' (15,000) hahahaha

Ya'll crack me up! (How's that for an accent)
Ben commented a while back on a video I had posted about my accent. Funny that the subject has come up again. I gotsome surprising colors today! And a pic of my momma RSL.

Now that is a sweet pic, what a great range and all look a nice consistent size too.

Those are some really pretty eggs Lindz!

Darn tootin'!

Really nice eggs.

I might have to make another one to share the accent, hopefully it does not have to be sub titled

 

[vehve]

I think you don't need the subtitles, I understand crocodile dundee just fine.

Hahahaha, Mel Gibson was dubbed over with a US accent in teh release of 'Road Warrior', better know to most as 'Mad Max' As Oz say's, sometimes we are hard to understand, I think we also talk quite fast which adds to the difficulty.

The Discovery Chanel sometimes subtitles some shows like Moonshiners. I can understand their accent but there must be demand for subtitles.

 

[ozexpat]

My theory is that the more you are exposed to accents the more you can hear "through" them.

 

[vehve]

Ben, that's ridiculous, nothing difficult in understanding him in the movies. Only problem I have is when you Ozzies start talking about didgeridooing your wallabees in the billabong or whatever continent specific or aboriginal derived words you start using.

Oz, I subscribe to that theory too. Finnish accents can be a bit difficult though, here it's often referred to as "Rally English". (Just look up a interview with a Finnish rally or F1 driver on youtube)

They add subtitles to 'Moonshiners' here too. Sometimes that creole accent is just a blur of words

I won't ask how many words you have for chicken!

 

[vehve]

@cwrite Haha, I love that one, I thin I've shared a link with the 2073 forms of the word sstore here at some point. Finnish can be a complex language, you can say things with one word which could take six or seven in English. "Koirinesiköhän?" = possibly together with your dogs, I wonder?
