I finally have eggs!!



Recommended Posts

I have been raising 29 Americauna chickens since they were 1 day old. They finally started laying eggs last week! Their eggs are all different shades of blue & green! I wish I could figure out how to post pictures, I would show you some of my eggs & my beautiful rooster LeeRoy! LOL!! Sorry everyone! I'm just an excited country girl who had to share! LOL! :D

Congrat!!! They sound very pretty. I don't know how to post a picture, either! I even read the "How to" post, and I can't figure it out. When I was little, we raised banny(sp?) chickens, they were small and cute! If you figure out how to post the pics, I'd love to see them!

I have one banty hen that was given to me. I named her Pee Wee! She was laying when I got her. She is about the size of a grapefruit. She loves to be loved on! I have to keep her away from my Americaunas though. She thinks she's bad! It's like a chiuauah (sp?) trying to kick a St. Bernard's butt!

OH I love anigamals! Little chicks are the sweetest things!

If you need help posting pics I can try to describe step by step how to do it.

Give them lots of hugs and kisses from me!

Anybody that loves farm animals is OKAY by me! Does this mean you'll have a yard full of peeps? Please don't say, "no, but we'll be eating omlettes."

We always had a few chickens when I was a kid.

I do have the best chicken & ducktape story ever though. It is nearly as impressive as Mike the Headless chicken in fact. But that's just my humble opionion. .... so maybe we were actaully a circus family in fact, but we just didn't tour.... hmmmm

isn't it so fun? I got some chicks for my birthday in April and they started laying about a month ago. Only problem is, I don't know what to do with all the darn eggs!

I only named the roosters so far. The nice one is Buck Buck and the mean one is Mean Rooster. I just call all the hens Henrietta.

I think I'm going to get a couple of ducks next spring. I've even thought of getting an incubator so I can hatch babies. But I'm a single girl and I have to be careful not to cross the line of 'crazy chicken lady'.

Megan, I can so relate to the crazy chicken woman thing! I was just at a funeral for my Great- Aunt Jewel, & it seems that family members & friends that I haven't seen in years were all asking about my chickens! LOL! My Aunt Jewel had Parkinsons & one of the last coherent responses my G-ma got from her was when she told her about my chickens. She laughed & then asked a few questions! She's in a better place now! God rest her soul! I would like to get some guineas & a turkey. A friend of ours has a big incubator & he is excited about hatching some chicks for us, but I want to watch them myself! If you go to McMurray hatchery you can buy a incubator for $19.99 & it will incubate 2 chicken eggs or 1 duck egg. I want to get one for my little cousin who's in the first grade.

DeLarla, I will definately have some little peeps running around! But the fresh eggs are soooo... good!

Vines, I would love to hear those stories! They sound very entertaining!

Kelly, I would really appreciate a tutorial on posting pics! Thanks!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
