I third the fruit tree. 

Also, I wouldn't have guessed you at 23. Are you sure you are? Cuz you still look like a baby! I don't remember looking that young when I was 23... My then husband, he did. He had the baby face forever, and then BAM! He looks his age. Me, I still look 32. I will be 32 until I am 40, and then I will claim I am 37 until I am 45... Yup... Although, I think the grey hair is going to give it away a lot faster than that. HA!

I got a good giggle tonight. One of the meatie boys got into it with Roger. Why the giggle? Well, he's only 8 weeks old, and he out weighs Roger obviously, but he was NOT BACKING DOWN! Even though he couldn't jump up and ninja kick, he sure was not going to let Roger one up him, so every time he'd try, he'd land on his butt. I don't think Roger knew what to make of it though, because he kinda just stood there and waited for the Fatty McFatpants to get back up, and then they'd do it again. LOL, I took Roger away, dumped him outside the dinners pen, and he ran back in to try and woo Snow, who I am going to rename Grouchy Pants. She does NOT think Roger is special. Prude.

Anyway, have a nice night all.

 Nova - your stories are always so funny.

I aim for giggles.

oh in the beginning I did. And danced. All the way to the truck in the driveway...and told them off. Not loudly but since they are picking up all audio..Their cameras go right to my front door. My privacy- legally invaded.

You could even make up a cherry pie or even just fresh cherries to give them along with the tree this year. 

I like the idea of a Cherry tree!

How is everyones pennies and water bags holding up? Still keeping the flies away?

mine are too! haha!

And my bags of water and pennies do not keep flies away- OR, if they do I would hate to see how many I would have without them!

Just slipped three chicks underneath a broody. She has been broody for weeks, and these just hatched last night in the incubator. She was a good mom last time she raised a chick, so hopefully she is a good mom for these three!
 

Good luck with the new Mama, Stacykins- broody raised is so much easier..

Sam is missing. Did he say he was going away and I missed it? 

*sniff* Morning coffee is just not the same.

After lingering for two days Yeti is finally gone.  I'm sad because she was so sweet but it is not unexpected.  I am actually surprised she has lived 4 months. On a good note I found my Cochin/Wellsummer cross is a hen.  At least she had better be or one of my head roosters is confused.  She is black with gold lacing around her neck and the softest chicken I own.

This week is play catch up from last week being gone, but then when I am finally caught up I leave with my son for camp on Sunday.  My only thought was as hot as it was last week, I most likely wouldn't have gotten anything done at home anyway. 

Farmerboy - I like the idea of a tree. Friends of ours did that as well.

Broody hens with chicks are so sweet but, I don't want more chicks.  Broody hens are driving me crazy!  They cause a serious nest box traffic jam.  I break them and then 5 new ones start.  Last year I didn't even have one broody, what is the difference? 

I Know! I have one broody, she is a demon! She was a good vicious Mama though. LOL. Anyway, she has a nest box all to herself, and if anyone tries to get in it, watch out! She gets like a dervish and just flips out. LOL. BUT, with what... 7 nest boxes, and 3 of those boxes can accomodate 2-3 hens at a time... Well, there is no need for a traffic jam, so why the egg in the meaties run? And no, it was not from Grouchy Pants. She lays hers in the big coop... Not in the nest box that is closest for her, although she knows it is there, used it once, and now won't go in it at all.

See, I am glad I am not the only one who noticed Opa's absence of late...

Sorry about Yeti Tap... 

Tap...I was just thinking about Yeti this morning... I was hoping she was recovered

I miss Opa and his morning pearls of wisdom and happiness. Maybe we have to visit "Opa's Place" forum to get our daily dose.

I can wait to have a broody! I don't want to fight for eggs!

If I open the coop my roo crows a few times and is done...

If BF opens the coop it is an all day crowfest! What up with that?
