Opa's place -Where an old rooster visits with friends - Page 463

I'm sitting here drinking coffee trying to work up the courage to go fire up the snowblower.  About 4" blanket everything but the wind has rearranged it so there are drifts that are much deeper.  When I think that 10 days ago I was in a boat on the river and not needing to wear a coat, this snowfall and subzero windchills is a little discouraging.

When having problems with chickens stop and think, what would Harlan do?
I've dealt with many thorns in my life and the flower is always worth the effort.

More than discouraging. It's down right depressing! hit.gif

That's Egg Settin' day here at the Funny Farm!  Next week the hatching starts. Wish me luck!



Good luck!    But tell me what creatures only take a week to hatch because I need to get me some of those!  big_smile.png

 

We have been really lucky this winter with the lack of the white stuff so far.   Other than a few light dustings we have had none.   Pretty sure our luck will run out soon but for now it's good!

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

Going in today:

Bantam Wyandottes in Columbian, blue & black.

Buff Brahma bantams

bantam Cochins

Khaki Campbell ducks

 

Next week hatching all of the above... plus there are guinea eggs and barred rock bantams.

 

Don't worry... I have it all down on paper and not just in my head. Now if I could just find the notebook I wrote it all in. roll.png

I've listed something for sale, but I can't post the little picture that shows up on the sale page. What am I doing wrong? hmm.png

Try this link...about half way down, it talks about putting the pics in.  I've never done an ad so I have no direct experience with it.

The button for selecting photos to add to a listing is at the bottom of the editor for BST, not in the editor like it is here.    You can also add a link to your listing in your signature for max exposure, I saw instructions somewhere.  I'll have a look for them.
