I don't think so, we have two other parties we have to make it to next Saturday and a possible third.  

You're just afraid someone's going to stuff your car full of Uggos.

 Well dang it. I was going to bring you 4 chicks then. I have 2 female and 4 male Cuckoo Marans available right now. They will be 4 weeks old the day of CS. And if you are wanting Barnvelders, I have 2 Barnvelder hens and will be picking up a young roo from a friend of mine in August. So next year, providing everything goes well, I should have Barnvelders available also.

You're just afraid someone's going to stuff your car full of Uggos.

Dang it!  And YES to the Barnies!  Oh, I'm so excited.  

Actually, if you'll have Barnies next year I think I'll just hold off on the Marans altogether.  I'm going to the swap this weekend to pick up some hens and pullets so those should get me through until next year and then I can just go with what I've been wanting to begin with.  Put me down for as many chicks and/or hatching eggs as you can spare from them.  

And while we're at it, hatch me a coal black lamb next year, too, would ya?  

BYFM-

How did you get such closeup shots of them? 

I didnt even know they had faces- I couldnt get close enough. 

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 

just why cant you call them Uggos any longer???

Turtles are pretty amazing creatures.  Years ago I was out pheasant hunting when I came upon some baby snapping turtles emerging from their nest.  I picked up one and placed it in my hunting jacket with the intent to let my youngest son take it to school for show and tell.  When I got home I forgot completely about it.  It was the following spring when I discovered it again.  Where I store my hunting equipment is very cool and it seems that little turtle hibernated the winter in my coat.  We placed it in a terrarium, fed it for a couple of months and then released it to the wild.
 

I'm just going to kvech for a moment... 

I'd like to simultaneously scream, vomit, drink heavily, and shoot things.  And to think it's all over one fat little mole that the collie puppy happily brought me the other day.  Tail wagging and eyes smiling, he earned his first, "That'll do." 

It wasn't till fall that I found out that the straw had created ideal living conditions for a vole population explosion.  When I finally decided that our harvest was over you have no idea of the pleasure I took from putting a match to the straw. 

While I was down that way for the ducklings, I swung by Caulder's Dairy and picked up some fresh milk. They have the best milk around. I didn't buy any butter, I'll wait and get that from Daron at CS.

It's getting there!  Next course is some colored glass tile... Hope to get it finished by Saturday.

This is the first time I've done a shower and it's going pretty good I think.   

She called after supper last night and after the call Granny, Hope, and I were outside checking out the garden, gathering eggs, watering birds, and harvesting radishes when 3 hot air balloons flew directly overhead.  After they had flown out of sight Granny remarked upon how happy she is and how fortunate she is to live here.

Granny sounds like a wonderful woman, Opa.  I can see where you get your wonderful outlook on life.  

 Cool. Will do that with the Barnies. I am going to get 2 roos from him so I will have a back up roo.

And ummm, I TRIED to get you to take a lamb this year and yes I did have some solid black ones.

And if you are serious about a black lamb I can get you one anytime. My best friend has some. :-)
