We think we have a broody hen. One of them has taken over one of the nesting boxes and she won't leave it. Unless she has a stuck egg, we can't think of any other reason she wouldn't leave. Being broody means she wants chicks, so she will sit there and lay a few eggs and try to hatch them despite what we might do. However, if she is still in the box tomorrow, we will lift her out of it and gather whatever eggs are in it. She won't be happy about it but there's no other solution. We had 8 eggs in one box so she's been in it since the Beast checked this morning. She may have been in it since yesterday when they were all put away for the night.
I wondered if it would happen to us. We just do NOT want any chicks. Hell, we are having a hard time with all the eggs we DO have already. We don't need any more chickens.
It really was a great day today. I did wash after the Beast got done with his casual clothes and dark socks. However, I haven't gotten around to folding any of it yet. It's just my underwear and pajamas. I did my clothes earlier.
The Beast took some picturese of our neighbors oldest son. Good looking kid but he sure wasn't when he was younger. He's going to have a lot of girls trying to get his attention....LOL. The pictures the Beast took turned out great. He was getting ready to drop the boy off at his house and show his parents the couple of pictures he did up for him when another neighbor came charging over (in his car) to ask the Beast to come to his family reunion tomorrow afternoon at the State Park and take pictures for him. The Beast will but he's not going to make up pictures. He told him that he would load the pictures on a CD for him and he could take it wherever he wanted to make up any pictures that he wanted.
I told the Beast that he should make these people pay for his time, if nothing else but they are all people from his church so he won't do it. I think he is actually flattered that they like his pictures and that is why he keeps doing this. He's going to be doing another wedding soon when the bride and groom set the date. He says it should be soon from the way they are talking but who knows? It just means another extra day when he's not around to keep interrupting me with political comments that I really don't care about. The only blessing is that he is also watching CNN news and it's not all Fox. *Sheesh*
I broke the ear piece on my favorite (and newest) pair of reading glasses. I can be a klutz at times. After going through all the glasses I had hanging around and finding they all had scratched lenses, I went out and bought three new pair. I'm waiting for the Beast to come in and ask me what the hell I bought for the money he will know I spent. But I am ready for him. I MAY tell him but I plan on showing him all the appliances that he has bought that are just gathering dust because he tired of them, including the FIVE different coffee makers that are siting on the shelves out in the garage. I want him to justify himself before he asks me to. Am I wrong?
Well, that's it for today. I'll let you know about the broody hen tomorrow. I want to see how many eggs she has claimed that she may not even have laid. Love you all. Choose to be happy. You are breathing and you have a roof over your head, right? Add food to eat and you are better off than many people. ***Hugs***
