You see, MY problem is that I can't find a man who will let me stay home, cook, clean, and raise rabbits and young'uns the all natural way and he can go to work and bring home the bacon. I've grown up in a household where the men go shoot the critters, bring them home, and us ladies make it into food, and I like it like that. And, if he's okay with all of that, he's probably stoned or jobless himself.

I know what you mean!!

Men have lost that go-getter mentality. I wish fiancee could find a better paying job, so I could stop this side-lining nonsense and commence housewifery. He's in love with the idea, but finances are always an issue.

Let me tell ya, good jobs are hard to come by, and job is good nowadays, I was on unemploynment for a year even with my schooling, I had applied to over 90 different places and went on at least 50 interviews, and still it took me that long to find a job, I had amazing refrences and credentials and an awesome resume, gave a great interview, all seemed promising but never got any calls back, and when I called them it was the same old story, I had gotten be SO depressed i dont even like talking about it, I used to apply for jobs 6-7 years ago and sometimes landed 3 a week if thats how many interviews I had...I honestly researched the internet cause I thought there was someone out there with my name making me look bad... This economy is sooo horrible<br /><br />__________ Sun Jul 21, 2013 1:52 pm __________<br /><br />

They sure are having fun!

Will this cause problems with the neighbours? Are these the same neighbours who use your pool?

 

[Flemishstar]

Oh no these are my opposite neighbors! they are soooo nice, they are 1st gen italians also and love seeing the chickens hanging around...I give them eggs also, and they are so far from their house i doubt if they even noticed lol

 

[MaggieJ]

That's super! Nice for you to have like-minded neighbours1

 

[Flemishstar]

Oh man!! I had to go to a BDAY party at 5 and since i didnt want to wait for the hens to take their sweet time to go back into the coop at sun down, I had to gather them up and it was quite a feat/// I was so angry at them,theycome up to me so close when they are in their run and practically jump in my arms, now forget it, i finally caught the last one by her legs and carried her like a suitcase back to the coop, dripping in sweat ugh!!

Just an idea to avoid "chicken chasing":

I have called mine since they were little. They know that when I call them, it's time for treats. They come running. Maybe grab a couple pieces of bread, or some veggies, or even some regular chicken food, call them and start spreading it by their coop. They will learn fast.

 

[Flemishstar]

I tried with everything...nothing amuses them..they are like little kids at a play ground lol...now I put them on punishment until I can fix were they got through loland theyre giving me the stink eye

I know how you feel, they always look at me like i am half crazy when I go around my OWN house and yard shoeless :shock: . Hubby tells me its because I am a hillbilly!!! (I'm from east Tennessee) :swinging:

But, the experts say, it is the grass in many city parks, so innocent-looking, so tempting, so redolent of the free-spirited days of childhood, that may pose the most unexpected risks, because unlike a rusty nail, they are invisible to the naked eye.

 

[Flemishstar]

hahah!! well i woulddo it in central park, but Ive built up so many immunities im not scared..lol and Im up to date on my tetneus ..but that is funny

 

[OwnedByTheBuns]

Awesome.... we used to have 27 chickens, it got to be so much work and so DANG many eggs that we gave away lots of them.

I am usually barefoot... I run on the gravel driveway to the barn, I walk in the rabbit poop and go get the mail with no shoes, it doesn't bother me. Feet are so much easier to clean than shoes IMO... lol

 

[Flemishstar]

they are alot easier.. especially when the grass it wet lol...I have SOOOO many eggs I get almosy all of em a day I got like 15 dozen in my "egg fridge",,,,which is a spare fridge I have

 

[Cottie]

I want your "spare" eggs! =)

I've got 20 laying hens, who should start popping out some breakfast here soon. I doubt I'll have many leftovers.

 

[Flemishstar]

[OwnedByTheBuns]

15 dozen? That's all? LOL here it is after one cleaning... ONE I TELL YOU... LOL

We had about 25 dozen in our "spare fridge".
