    Dog attack ):

    I was lucky this time. I was in the barn when the morons next door let the dog out off leash. She headed right for the chickens which were free ranging in front and along side the barn. They came running into the barn to me. Too bad I didn't have a pitchfork in my hand but I ran screaming...

    Husband is 1 in a million!

    I asked about buying a shed to turn it into a chicken coop. Cheapest was a junky looking thing at $800.00. He asked the guy who did the roof on the barn what he thought about building a 8x8 leanto style coop off the goat shelter. They wandered around and looked over all the 2x4's, 2x8's...

    Egg salad anyone?

    Made egg salad last week for hubby from our "Copper Penny's Hennies" eggs. He had a fresh garden tomato sliced on it with black pepper. He e-mailed me from work and said it needed homemade bread to make it even better. So guess what is in the bread machine? Lynne
