 Good morning Michigan, much-needed rain last night, cloudy still but supposed to get sunny (and windy) later today.

My 6 week olds have been out for the last few days, they were kept in the little coop for about 2 weeks before that and have no trouble finding their way back inside.  They are so cute to watch!  I am  liking the Jaerhons more and more, they are beautiful.

I do love the bantam Ams, but have a project going with cochin bantams and am going to need the room for them.  Started it last year but all my breeders were killed by a weasel, so I kept the Ams.  Now they will have to find a new home.

Msue, sorry to hear about your Aunt -

Taprock, your BIL is in for a big surprise in a few years, isn't he! 

I see on the news that Burger King is now buying only cage-free raised chickens

I swear! I like my job... I really do. I do not like who I deliver for. Papers were not in from Allegan until 5 30 this morning, and guess what? They have to be delivered by 6... OH OH OH! AND NO, we do not get compensated for sitting in the darn parking lot for 2 hours waiting. And today is the other job day, and I don't get home till 8, find the cable turned off, even though I paid the bill, and I had to call and get that fixed, and thank goodness I kept the reciept to prove I paid it. And I have to go to work in 2 hours. Is it any freaking wonder I am sleep deprived? Nope. 

Terri Deboer is calling for a hard freeze tonight. 20's in the outlying areas and upper 20's low 30's in the urban areas. WOOHOO! Nothing like this weather to mess stuff up. Hope ya'll don't have that burlap tucked away already. I am glad there are no shoots up here except for on the berries... I will cover those. 

Guess I will try and catch a short siesta... 

Glad your went to the doc Stacy. 

Jendear... did you ever find the diaper snatcher?

I think I forgot to say  Pycnopsyche!!

 To all newcomers

Newbies

Bianca, sorry to hear about your dad.  

Raz,  I wouldn't be able to tolerate someone like that! 

I'm hoping to get some more game fish for my pond in May.   We go through www.harriettahills.com .  They have "fish days" where they will travel to certain destinations to make pick up easier.   We got a bunch of channel cats from them last year.  I want some bass and bluegills and minnows this year. 

What a ho hum day..........

Love your new avatar Sarah!
 

Thanks!! I was browsing the google and found it. Such cute little babes!!

Good morning all. Something about cloudy days makes the grass and the leaves have a deep, saturated green to them.

I am not at all eager to reach the point in our poultry journey where I have to put one down. I've been preparing myself for the conversation with my kids and glad they haven't gotten too attached to them yet. So far no one looks sick or weak and some are getting feathered enough I might put them in the coop in the next couple weeks.

M Sue- Sorry to hear of your loss.

Raz those are some great pictures and it is a bit more strange on how or where they roost. No one looks uncomfortable.

As for me its errand day and I've got a list a mile long to pick up at the store. /sigh I can't wait for the weather to get warm enough for the ducks to be outside because we cleaned their tub out last night at 10 and its all ready smelly/tore up. We've refilled their waterer about 6 times since yesterday too the little wasters. I can't complain too much because their tails are getting fluffy and they aren't running away screaming from us anymore.
