Hey you can’t blame Texas for that! They said New Mexico, Arizona and El Paso! El Paso is at the farthest point of Texas kinda between Mexico and New Mexico. That’s a teeny tiny piece of Texas real estate. Blame Arizona and New Mexico for this, obviously they contributed a larger portion of the...

Yup. More meat CCX and a good friend. ❤️ Duh. Been at this for awhile. Even if I hadn’t, I never let not knowing what I’m doing stop me. :lol:

I found Tiny’s triplet ram yesterday in a crumpled heap, bloated and cold as an ice cube. I thought he was dead. I picked him up, he moved, alive. I brought him in the house and warmed him up with a hair dryer in my laundry basket. I gave him Nutridrench and he perked up a little. I had to...

My friend’s grandson did another cull down for the final few to select his chickens for the fair. She gave me 15 more chickens yesterday. These will be ready in a few weeks for slaughter.

Sending emergency sunshine to @CrealCritter ! ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Today is sunny, so far winds are calm. Today is Wednesday. Have to remember that. Missed church last Wednesday night because I thought it was Tuesday. LOL

Moving slow this morning. Friend texted me and has 15 more chickens to give me. I like this deal, free half grown CCX! I’m taking a large dog crate to go get them.

Well I didn’t get to the dried up mudhole and now it’s a mud hole again. But I’ll get to it when it dries up again.

It took me 3 tries to get one load of blue jeans washed. LOL

Power came back on. Chicks were fine. The sun came out, back in, out again…. Enough solar heat that I turned heat lamps off. Power went off again. Later came back on. Real windy. As of now, power is on, heat lamps on, chicks have feed and water.

Storm blew in the wee hours of this morning. Power is off. I called automated system to report it. Then I called and actually spoke to someone and told her I had a bunch of baby chicks with no heat lamps and sure would appreciate anything they could do. She said there’s over 4,000 with no power...

Some days it’s nice to not get dressed and just slop around all day. For you, it’s your gown. For me it’s sweat pants and sloppy big tshirt. I usually pick a rainy bitter cold day, just don’t my Carhart’s to go outside for animal chores. It’s down time and we all need that sometimes.

Coffee is ready, gonna be a nice day. I think I’m gonna work on mud holes. I have a large one where I need to back up and have almost gotten stuck before. So I have to angle the truck to avoid the mud trap. My son told me to wait for it to dry up, put down a layer of lime, a layer of dirt, etc...

Wow! I’ve wrestled sheets of plywood, heavy, unwieldy and awkward to handle. This is pure genius. Now I just need a shop to do this in!

Chicks are doing fine in the coop. I turn off 3 heat lamps, then turn them back on around 5 or 6 PM. Supposed to rain tomorrow but temperatures will be in the 50’s for a low, 70’s for high.

On the last of my coffee, then up to start the day. Slept past 6, that’s late for me. Long list of things to do, gotta pick something and get started.

Fencing is a lot of work, but you will be so glad to have it done. I like your strategy, not so nice neighbors get the used ugly fence. Prospective buyers can look at new fence.

I have a. Barometer hanging in the middle of the heat lamps. This morning temperature was right above 70. I woke up to a pile of dead chicks yesterday morning. They were in the middle of the tub I had them in. Not crowded under the heat lamp, not crowded at the other end away from the heat...

Coffee is ready! It’s Friday, had to look because most of the time I don’t know what day it is anymore. I missed church Wednesday night cause I thought it was Tuesday. I’m really careful to know it’s Sunday because I teach the kids class. When I worked I sure knew what day it was, especially Friday!

That’s where the I’m taking the temperature.
