Another long day - but productive. Can't complain about that. Got the rest of the old hay cleaned out this morning and was able to place a new bale in the cleaned-out spot. Now - have I started moving the old hay into the areas that need mulched...Nope! Not yet, got side-tracked. Had a...

DH and I both slept poorly last night....ugh! First cup of coffee is gonna need back up! It's gonna be hot so at least I can get outside before it gets miserable. Silver lining and all that, lol!

Hope it all goes well!

Some years back I had a dog that wouldn't let the chickens anywhere near the porch. They were in a starter pen in the backyard and as soon as they got big enough to jump/fly over she would run toward them and they would be startled enough to fly right back into their pen, lol. I sure miss that...

Woo Hoo! Enjoy!

It took this gal a couple of hours to figure out her "broodiness" had a purpose. I put eggs in there with her and she just ignored 'em, lol. She had found her spot in the corner of their little dog house shelter and she decided that's where she wanted to be. However, I persuaded her to move...

OH my goodness - it's been a busy day. Been doing lots of outside stuff. My back porch has become a catchall - and even worse - some of the chickens have been calling it home. Grrrr! I spent hours today moving things and re-arranging things and sweeping chicken crap. I need to kick some of...

Yay! That's fantastic! I mean, you are out a little money but nothing like what it coulda been!

I put 4 eggs under the silkie. After putting her first 6 eggs in my incubator I was saving some for someone else. Texted him this morning that I had 4 eggs for him but he decided not to fire up his incubator for just 4 eggs so I gave 'em back to the silkie. Guess this wil be a test run for...

Hope he's right - it would be nice for it not to be a complicated mess! :fl

First cup going this morning. Need to get some outside work done while our weather is tolerable. Heat and humidity are supposed to climb next week. Sigh....

Oh boy...that sounds like it might be a big ol' complicated mess! Hoping that it's not! :fl

Took DH to his endocrinology appointment this morning. Doc was ok with where he's at right now. That's always a relief. Got my shopping done afterwards. I hate shopping - but it's done for now. Didn't need much but starting to pick up a few things for the upcoming visit from the grands...

Happy Tuesday! Up and at 'em early this morning. Doc appt for DH this morning. I need to get outside and do chores as soon as the sun comes up. Then back inside to shower and hit the road running. Gonna be a busy day!

I was surprised that her eggs aren't really that small. They started out bigger than what I expected and are all about the same size. So, confession time. I put the first 6 in the incubator already - you know - as an experiment, lol. I just candled 'em and 5 of the six are fertile! Woo...

That has to be frustrating!! Question: do you hatch pullet eggs? I'm so tempted!

I have a few silkie pullets running around. One started to lay a couple weeks ago and I've got two more that are close. Unfortunately, the one that just started has laid 10 eggs and is already trying to go broody, lol. I've kicked her off the nest twice today. Might have to put her in a wire...

True. I casually inspect other folks baskets when grocery shopping. Too many times the young family and the some of the oldsters have very little in their baskets. Cheap white bread, the awful pkgs of .99cent hot dogs, lots of rice and beans. Yes, there are ways to eat for less money, but I...

Dang - sounds so good!

I keep saying that I'm going to earmark one of mine for the freezer. Then, wouldn't you know it, somebody comes along and offers me cash for 'em. I'm weak, lol. But, the plan is to save a couple back for the freezer this season. I need to get busy eating out of the freezer too! Need to make...
