Adding new chickens to our flock

[MoonShadows]

@lcertuche , sounds like paradise.
You go that right @baymule . I was asleep by 6pm, crawled into bed at 7pm (it was still light out) and now I'm up at 11:30 pm because my back and legs are killing me!

I know; isn't that crazy?

I actually got a bill for a doctor's visit a year later. They had waited too long to bill my insurance so they tried to bill me for the whole thing... Uh.... No!

Hope you can get your generator this summer!

How much snow do you have left down there? We have about a foot still.

 

[lcertuche]

Too bad about the insurance. I have two and I still end up owing a lot when I get sick. One is suppose to pay what the other doesn't so how do I end up owing anything? All you get is a big run around every time you try to talk to the financial office.

Not to rub salt in the wound 'weatherwise' but it was 87 yesterday and it's suppose to be warm all week with the lows in the 40-50's. On the other hand we had the AC on last night for a couple of hours after supper!

I know someone who went to the medical billing and threw a big fit over the price he was being charged. They dropped it in half, he paid it grudgingly and that was the end of it.

This JG is a monster...more than twice the size of the 25 week old ones.

I once had a JG rooster and a mixed flock of hens but someone came and stole the entire flock while we slept. Since then I lock my birds up at night. My rooster was at least twice the size of all the girls. He was as tall (maybe taller) as my 3 and 4 year old daughters back then, lol.

Mine aren't any bigger than my other hens at the moment but they are young and still growing. They get picked on some, they're quite docile. They must be laying, judging by how many eggs I'm getting, but I can't tell who laid what!

 

[lcertuche]

I think JG's are close to a year old before they begin laying.

I've gotten 7 eggs from 8 hens so unless one of my hens is laying 2 a day, one of my Jerseys is laying! Lol, they will be a year in June.
