Let me see about a week to get some eggs then 3 weeks to hatch them then another 6 weeks inside ~ that's over 2 months.....oooo it almost seems too tempting to resist ~ but by then I'll be on my own again and would have to deal with any boys. I'll think on that some more.

Not that I'm trying to tempt you are anything - but your timescale seems to fit in nicely with your recovery, and of course the nicer weather will be here, and, and and, well you know you want to!!!

She's the one whose always saying 'angles' to me when I look as if I'm going to go over the 90 mark........but....it would be nice for her children to see the chicks hatch, don't you think ~ they go in just over 4 weeks. Will sleep on the thought and see what develops.

And this would be a 'hands on' 'real life' education. Think of your grandchildren Summayah ROFL Ultimately no-one should pressure or persuade you to do something that you aren't ready for. You will KNOW when it feels right for you - and if that time is now - then go for it. And if not - wait until it is.

Part of me wants to and part of me is a little afraid ~ what if in real life I can't look after them properly again? I can't face going through that again ~ it was just too hard last time. I guess I'll just keep looking for now and like you say when I feel it's right, it will be Back to top thewinkingtiger Joined: 31 Aug 2005 Posts: 936 Location: East Yorkshire, UK Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 12:44 am    Post subject: I think your fears are totally normal and rational Summayah, and I admire you for being aware enough to think that way. You will KNOW when it's right and you will have more chooks - of that I am certain. And I think with the progress you've made and all the ideas you have got to make things easier - it really won't be too far away. Keep positive girl and focus on what you want - and it will be come a reality.
