he does put up with it.. but he has known many other cats before him. xD yes, spartan was a kitten when hubby caught and brought him home. i shouldn't be too bad i will only be going for hopeful hens, so i will trying the wing trick to see if it works and certain coloured ones may be a certain breed characteristics i want. so little brownish ones with dark brown stripes or greyish ones.

Aw, nice of him to put up with it. The oldest cat puts up with all the other cats, as long as they acknowledge that he's the 'king'. xP It is easier when you a bring a kitten into a home with cats than another adult, but that kitten can grow up and be mean. Wing trick? And aw, little brown and grey chicks sound adorable.

yea he grew up at my parents so we had many cats.. including his sister who he did get a little mean with from time to time. my sister now lives at home and her cat is the queen even with her getting so old shes having problems. yea you can look at the ends of their wings and a males will have all even feathers coming and a hen with have two different lengths. was looking at the chicks i got in April who now 3 months and its looking like one might be a rooster. so if he turns out to be one.. i have to decide which rooster i will want to sell, lol xD they are super cute and i can't wait until the 25th.

Oh, so he's used to it. Poor thing, his sister being mean to him. Two of our cats we adopted from the pound as kittens together (not siblings), but they were super close when they were young. One still loves the other one, and will wash her and everything, but she wants nothing to do with him. :c Haha, cats love to be on top! I hope your sister's cat isn't having too many problems. That's interesting about the wings. Sounds like a tough decision to make. xP Ooh, is the 25th when they will hatch?

Sorry I shouldn't assume people know what I'm talking about lol Basically I'm just moving 2 hours away from where I am now

Oh ok so Chico was like 2 hours from Sacramento! Near that area. Gah I just can't do car rides. Usually 2 hours is my limit! Haha. Oh cool where?! I live in Charlotte right now! Born and raised here actually. I'm moving to Florence, SC. Ever heard of it?

no hes was mean his sister at times :D shes alright, shes just getting old. yes, the 25th should be hatching day.. will be candling them on the 15 th to see which ones may have stopped growing so i can dispose of those ones.

lol, no worries.. most are from the states xD

aw cute bunny c: is it supposed to be like one of your fur babies?

its a gift from s friend.. but i did have a bunny this colour once, his name was smokey :D

Oh, nice! I've always wanted to visit San Francisco and LA, although NYC is at the top of my list for the US. I think it would be amazing to see a musical on Broadway. - I've done lots of car rides (moving a lot when I was growing up). It doesn't bother me as much now, especially when I can sleep. 2 hours is hardly anything! I live in Wake Forest, which is right next to Raleigh. I don't know if I've ever been to Charlotte. I was born in Raleigh, but not 'raised' per se. I haven't ever heard of Florence, though I've driven through SC a lot of times! Have you visited there yet?

Haha, reciprocal mean. xP Glad to hear she's alright, my cat's are starting to get older, too. One used to be able to handle all manner of people food (I don't indulge, but others do), but it upsets his stomach now. And aw, candling sounds horrible. D: I hope not many of them are like that. :c

Hi friends! Sorry I've been so MIA! Work has been intense lately and Nathan and I are trying to spend more quality time together when we're not at work. We've not seen a whole lot of each other. My personal training is going well! Not sure if I'd even mentioned to you all that I'd done that!

lol, candling is when you take a light to see if you can see growth in the egg or not and in the older days they used a candle so its called candling :D

heya dear, no worries.. we all have to not be on sometime. i have been a bit less even

Heya, no problem! I haven't been here as much lately, either. I hope work hasn't been too horrible for you, I know it can be a drag. It's nice that you two are trying to spend more time together! And yay for your personal training going well! I don't know if you mentioned it, but thanks for sharing, regardless. ^^

Ah, that makes more sense. It still sounds like it would be horrible to have to get rid of eggs, though. :c I think I would become attached.

yes but ones that aren't growing will start to rot, ewww

What's been keeping you busy?

What's new? Do you have your goats yet?!

Oh, I suppose that is even worse. D: Hopefully, not many will be like that! I hope the weather for you has been nice there, still wondering if it's going to rain or not here. I'm supposed to observe a squirrel for one of my classes, I was going to do that this weekend, so I hope it doesn't rain. xP

I've been busy with summer classes, mostly! One of them is almost over (took the second exam today), so it'll be nice to have just the one. Maybe I can actually do some cleaning then. xP Hope things are well with you!

Hey lovely! <3 Popping in to say I hope you're doing well! c: We finally got my car situation sorted, so maybe I'll actually be able to get online more soon. ;w;

hugs Sorry for not chatting more! I know I have a few comments from you I need to respond to. :o You live in Wake Forest? I live in Morrisville (right near Brier Creek/close to the Durham/Wake County line)! We're not that far apart! XD

no, no goats.. hubby said no after all of it. i was a mess for a while.

hoping for good growers :D the weather was a mess but its supposed to warm for the week. haha what if you can't find a squirrel?

i'm alright, slowly feeling better. got more eggs to hatch by the 25th.. cannot wait. its soo hard to wait, LOL. glad to hear thats all figured. :)

My uncle has a "pet" bunny that comes to his porch every day to eat whatever food my uncle puts out for him xD

I've always wanted to go to NYC as well. I just feel like I would get annoyed because it would be so crowded haha. Oh nice! I have family in Chapel Hill so I know where that is. Yep! I went and visited when I had my interview. It's a pretty small town, but there's still a lot of local restaurants/wine bars/etc.

Hi I was wondering where you ran off to! Personal training? Sounds fun. What's your goal for that?

a pet pet or a wild one?

How did your exam go? Will taking these summer classes really advance you toward your degree?

WHAT! I'm so sorry! Why did he decide no?

Life, right?! I signed up for personal training because I got myself on a more elite curling team for next season and I wanted to make sure I was as physically fit as possible. I've also always said that if I found money in my budget for it I'd love to give it a try. I've been a regular gym-goer for years and not really noticed any change in my body.. and in just 4 months with my trainer I've dropped 5lbs, but my body has DRAMATICALLY changed. I should show you guys the photo.
