How do I fix this in my profile? I've tried for two days...I don't want it to say, "it's like herding cats!" anymore...and I can't figure out how to change it...
Can anyone help? :-)
We are just so excited for out puppy!!! We can't pick him up until he is 10-12 weeks old (November 2nd is the soonest), so we are filling our time with all the preparations!
Here are the most recent pictures I have (from last week) when he was four weeks old....and his ears are just starting...
I owned and showed three Papillons for the better part of 20 years. The loss of my last one in 2006 nearly broke my heart, and I didn't feel ready to get a new one.
I've kept myself busy with our Corgi (she passed in December), our British Shorthair cats (4 of them), my chickens, and my...
Due to some problems with the property we own, I had to sell all my gorgeous Buff Orps and SLW that I hatched here with all of you this last year. All 40 have been sold.
We are so sad......but we are looking forward to buying a new farm in N.C. and we will start again.
I'm going to miss the...
I have several chickens that go seriously broody each year, and I'm considering letting one of them raise a clutch this time around.
IF I do this, I have a metal dog crate that I have put hardware cloth around on all sides, and I will place this inside the coop where she lives with two other...
This is my niece, Sara. She is 8yrs old - and I just love her to pieces! They (my sister, my BIL, my nephew, and Sara) were here for four days...and Sara came with me EVERY time to do barn chores - and she really, really helped!
Here she is - pink bow and all (I bought it for her at Justice...
I went to open the pop-door to let them out for the day and he came flying out at me and trying to spur me! This frickin' bird has lost his ever loing mind!
He is a year old and has been respectful until now.
I went after him and kicked him good when he tried to have another go at me...
I have four really nice quality SLW. They may not win - but I certainly wouldn't be embarrased by them....it's not like they'd be way our of their league...but I have no idea how to show.
There is a show less than 10 miles from our house on March 3rd. I soooooo want to go!
Here are some...
...had a Brinsea Eco 20 & and a mini eco....they are great & given me nearly 100% hatch rates every time!
But I found myself constantly adjusting my temps to compensate for the daily fluctuations in temps. AND I *needed* one more incubator!!!
Ohhhhh! I can't wait!! It will be here tomorrow!
Instead of getting anything done around the house or barn, I'm sitting here playing and photographing these darn kittens!
This is Cooper....
...playing with his new toys -
I have a Brinsea Eco 20 (with an egg-turner), and I wanted to do some "continuous hatching.."
I LOVE my Brinsea - it is a "set it and forget it" type of incubator!! But I'm only getting about 6 eggs a week from my 3 SLW hens and I'd like to do three hatches right in a row.
So I was thinking...
We have been doing all the recommeded things for a slow introduction - switching rooms, feeding on opposite sides of the door, openin the door for brief sniffs, etc.
Today is day 12.
We have started face to face introductions tonight. Tugger & Frosty are in our bed room (favorite room in the...
Ok...so we are doing a very slow introduction with our two new kittens. We have two other cats (ages 5 & 6) that we need to integrate them with.
Everyone is spayed/nuetered - even the kittens.
The new kittens are 17 weeks old (full siblings - brother/sisiter). They have been here in the house...
Ten days ago, we brought home our two new British Short air kittens (17 weeks old, full siblings).
It's been great for them to have each other through the difficult transition of a new place and a 700 mile car trip. The are fast friends and do most everything together.
They are friendly...
Currently, our two new kittens are eating Royal Canin for Kittens because it is what the breeder was feeding...and we have lots of faith in her. She said there are other great kitten feeds out there but to remember to choose one where meat is the first ingredient listed on the package.
I'm...
We purchased these two kittens (full siblings - same litter) back in late November (you may remember the thread )...but we weren't able to pick them up until last week (breeder lives 700 miles away and we didn't want the kittens shipped).
We are THRILLED with them! They are absolutely...
I spoke with the breeder today...and I just could not say no! My husband is actually really excited - I thought he might kill me for this, but he's a cat-lover so we're good as gold. He loves the little blue/white girl - and I love the cream/white male!
Who am I kidding.......I love them...
We have two sets of cats....house cats and barn cats. Our barn cats all came with the property we purchased. All have been spayed and neutered, but can't be house-cats because they all have the feline version of herpes. Very contagious, so they must remain as much-loved barn kitties.
Then we...
He's such a great rooster! Very respectful of the ladies - and people! My favorite kind of roo!
AND.......he was my first roo - ever!
A couple more because I wuv him!
