After many busy days of nothing but go-go-go, the new hen house is almost complete. The tomatoes are all put up. Finished the peaches. Butter Beans are in the freezer with probably one more picking to go. Now back to corn... Whew, I'm pooped!
Happy Sunday everyone!!
I'm with you, Book. I worked in greenhouses for years - 120 F and 100% humidity - no problem. Since I've been dealing with this auto-immune crap, I am always HOT HOT HOT! For a while I thought I was losing my mind, but my doc assured me it's very common among people with this stuff. Blah...
I got 2 F Ameracauna (to go with my EE roo), 2 F Black Australorps, 8 F Buff Orps, and 1 Buff Orp Roo. At least in theory there are 12 females and 1 rooster. We have 2 Buff Orps and 2 Red Sex Links that should be laying within a couple of weeks. I'm already on the edge of my seat waiting for...
Woke up this morning and ran right out to check on the chicks. All 13 were running around and pecking at everything. So far I haven't seen anything that alarms me. I only hope I know what I'm looking for. This is like being a new mommie.
Post Office called at 6:45 this morning to say my chicks had arrived. I got them home asap and found all 13 looking great. They've spent the day in the home made brooder eating, sleeping, chirping, chirping some more. They're adorable! I'm almost afraid to go to bed tonight for fear of...
Please come train my dogs!! They're not quite a year old and half lab, so they're nothing but huge puppies. They want to chew on everything. I don't think they would actually eat the chickens, but they'd certainly play with them. When the girls ran away the dogs would think that's part of...
I was awake fretting over how to arrange the new coop.
There ought to be a better way to get square footage while reducing the footprint in the run, saving more green space. Why on earth are those dogs barking? What am I going to do about the 10 extra Orps I now have coming? They're not...
Oh so excited... just got an incubator!! Can't wait to try it out.
Poor DH is working hard every weekend building our second coop and run (of course I help, but I'm construction-challenged.) I hate to tell him that we're already going to need a third soon. Then again, it was his idea to...
DH and I are in the same boat. To make it worse, he spends half his time driving between home and Augusta. He goes through Lincolnton, McDuffie County, Wilkes County, etc. very often.
