    DOGED A BULLET

    DW mentioned that maybe Quail would be something to get into. A little research put the brakes on that. After the cost of a permit and regulations ad nauseam here in NJ it was dropped like a dirty shirt. I'm surprised the "state" hasn't seen the opportunity of permitting chicken and duck keepers.

    Practicing Self Control

    Look at all the pretty birds! Received the McMurry catalogue yesterday. Went from hmm, maybe to NO! Too many eggs with 4 birds and do I really want to go through brooder to hen house. I'd like to say "The Wisdom of Age" but it's really a case of I'm not going through that again. :D

    Giblet Gravy, Yay or Nay

    Since I do the gravy, stuffing and prep the bird I was wondering. I still use them but I have to strain them out as the DW and grandkids don't care for them in the gravy even though giblets are finely diced, but the flavor is still there.

    TOOK MR "O" POSSUM FOR A RIDE

    Possum couldn't resist the shelled hard boiled eggs, found him in the Have-A-Heart at daybreak. Took him for a ride to the big woods and bid him adios. Ambled out of the trap and moseyed into the swamp without so much as a look back. THAT'S THE THANKS I GET? :idunno Wild life, who knows what...

    NEW TENANT IN THE COOP

    Went out for eggs 2:PM and found a possum moving under the straw. Young one I'll call it a teenager. No big deal just shooed it out the chicken door with a 4 iron. It's under the coop now. I'll boil or scramble some eggs and set up the Have-A-Heart this evening. Nothing to panic about, just...

    JUST A SMALL PSA

    As we know, Xylitol, usually as a sweetener in some peanut butters, is highly toxic for our dogs and other pets. Well the slicky marketing people have changed the name on labeling to "Birch Sugar". Sounds sooo natural and good, huh! If this is toxic to our pets what makes it good for human...

    MID-NIGHT MOON LIGHT SERENADE

    12:02 AM, a young Coyote took a position between the bedroom window and the woods, about a 40' piece and cut loose. So close I could hear the initial woof wuff before the howl. Half a dozen where are you howls and down the road a quarter mile to the neighbors and cranks up again. Guessing by the...

    BLK AUS EGG SIZE

    Although I am happy with their egg production the increase of egg size is lacking . Getting small to small medium after roughly 8 wks of laying. If memory serves me our RIR and BAR RKS were dropping bombs at this age Any input from Australorp keepers welcomed. Same layer feed used on previous...

    Locked the crew up a little after sun set last nightt, walked over to check the bees bearding on the front of the hive because of the heat, turned toward the house and almost stepped on a 3 1/2 ' Black Racer that I took as just another surface root. Zipped off towards the run and coop area...
