Have to share!!!

Late afternoon, inside taking a break, looked on CL and see free chickens. A lovely pair of pure crested cream legbars. Family moving. Contemplated the 100 mile round trip, 5 gal gas🤔. But wanted that Blue egg roo! Bit the bullet and went...hey, they sell 35-45 ea around here. Got there and he also says I can have --if I want them- two 50# bags of layer pellets (17.99 ea), two 5 gal waterers (59.99 ea at TSC) and some other feeder stuff!! 😲👍😁😁. Did I want them??? Well, you betcha!

Best deal in a while. :lol: :old :celebrate the chickens are lovely, under two, and pure Greenfire lines. Now I'll collect eggs for a week. Incubate for more pure ones. Then add a couple of my blue egg girls. And they'll have cleared any other roo sperm from system by time first hatch....in time for another batch to incubate, mixed breed but blue eggers. They sell well. Then I'll watch & buy 2 more hens. Back to purebreds.

Strangely, haven't had chickens in this run for about six months, had cleaned out, so ready to roll. Not the norm...must have been meant to be. 😇. Hope her eggs aren't barely tinted.

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
The moos are all wound up tighter than a rubber band again.

Well, guess I should share. Monday and Tuesday was having a hard time concentrating during work. Occasionally as I moved, had sharp pain starting under my right arm, then moving across my back and chest above my diaphragm.

Spent Wednesday afternoon in the ED, all heart numbers came back perfect, brain CT showed "nothing remarkable of note" . Wife got a good chuckle out of that one. On anti-inflammatory meds and muscle relaxers.

May have overdone it with the canning. Taking it slow in the garden today, should have brought a lawn chair. It's perfect weather today
