Raining -- so glad I mowed the yard yesterday!! Several days of rain coming.

Set some eggs!! Shell mother her own, not those you bought. Sometimes if they're setting a nest, you can slip a couple just hatched chicks under her at night & she may take them. Silkies seem to be a "village" for parent sharing 🤣

Coffee is great. Up early -- extra chores....hen & chicks to feed, newly bought pullets in pen to feed/water, out to barn to milk a goat. So back in with another half gal of beautiful milk. I see "room in frig" starting. A gal a day is a lot. She'll increase, too. Usually 1.5+ for her at...

Barreds are color sexed but, like many, not 100% unless you're really good. 90% works most of the time. We'll be waiting for results. :clap

Actually I think not. But that's fine! I can pen them when eggs come and have purebred BO chicks. Ya know how it goes :lol:. Real kicker is I thought it was a 4 pack but, when I pd saw it was a 5 pack. Ya bid per and times # in container. Hadn't looked earlier, so still happy.

I'm soooo late starting! So yesterday at the livestock auction I bought 13 tomato plants, $1 ea. About 2 ft tall .... Plus 5 -- 9 wk old buff orp pullets $8 ea. 👍👍. Just as taking from trailer -- that had taken a load of bucklings to sell! 🤣. No need to come home empty. Nice check came home...

I don't give them away that soon 😁 if at all. My cream legbars are color sexed at hatch 👍 marans not, RIR not....so wait a couple weeks and wing feathering can help. I bought 11 chicks 2 yr ago, have lost 3 old hens over past 6 mos & a few oldsters still here. So, I figure it's time to add...

I bought a dz hatching eggs at auction yesterday, $7. RIRxMarans. So I'll set incubator, prob add some of own hens eggs & wonder why I'd ventured on that ordeal again, as I spend a couple months watching, then mothering chicks 😵‍💫. Already wondering :lol:

It's so sad to wait and have losses. Others have reported issues with chick & duckling shipment losses this year. Probably more than I've heard in a while.

Here, the Dollar General tosses some & donates some. Most donations are because a group/food bank has asked the mgr and does pick up. There's often cases of crackers, cookies, cereals, coffee & creamers, close dated milk, etc. usually these are a few days before or a month over....for most...

Yes, yes, yes it does!! Yesterday I looked thru pics of last year's garden 🤣

Oh, no. I am so sorry 😢 RIP

WHY don't they pull close dated and add them to baskets???? I mean, use it up before that darned date!!! :duc They have a drive thru in my town once a month but seeing what my friend gets, 50-60# MAX. But there is also a store front shop, with apptmts where you walk thru & select. They...

Cream legbars are very similar to color sex 👍😁

Sounds good -- potato/ham soup👍 may do that, have all here. And it's a satisfying meal I wish butter would go way down😄 I'd buy 20#. Pork. Next really good sale, I plan to buy a couple chunks, grind & make sausage to freeze up. Here's another kick in the rear for everyone... 😕...

Got a sale txt from a lid supplier which totaled out at 50cent for a lid& ring, reg; 52 WM. Just lids 30-33 cents each. I'm thrilled to have over stocked up last year! 🙂 Never used tattler but considering a slow purchase of a few. I'll do a doz first to try, use product & check repeat use...

Over 90% of OTC comes from China. Any pain relief, spec vitamins -- C, D, Bs, calcium, etc. will be slower coming to restock. Plus higher cost. It's not panic time just review what you use and save a buck.

Finally got to the age you say -- "how" & "when" did this happen? :lol: happy birthday!

Well -- it has begun!😞. The increases due to the tariffs wars, threats, etc. Thank J&J and P&G for raising prices now to avoid the rush -- and probably brag "they'll hold the line" on increases if there are any significant pricing costs from actual tariffs. Yeah, already had the kick up. I &...

This is the hardest part. :lol::idunno:old making yourself!!!
