This is not Michigan, but it's not Florida either. We usually move straight from winter into summer. It's behaving like hurricane season with rain for the past four days and a chill in the air. My chicks are wearing water wings in the swamp. Good story, MrsChickendad; are we sure Barbara is...
So, Barbara, what's your next move? It's cold here in Florida - we keep the big light on in the coop with our wimpy chickens. One wrongly directed stinkeye would wipe out our entire flock! I'm gonna go find my jammies with the footsies and read some more. oxoxo
"wing-dragging and twirling" - I love to see my boys do their dance for the girls (who don't really appreciate the effort that takes). Love your stories, dear MrsChickendad. Glad all are better. It will be a beautiful wedding!
Love the pics! Wonderful to see that Wendy is still with us. I've lost my two silver laced Wyandottes to internal laying. Yesterday, the resident eagle had a too-large-to-carry bird and DH told me it wasn't a chicken, but I hurried down to the chicken yard to count. Yep, all accounted for...
Oh, my! Those two sound like boys I know! No wonder you can tell who is who is your chicken yard, MrsChickendad, they have distinguishing marks (from a dysfunctional childhood). Love the latest!

Thanks for the update, MrsChickendad. I love, love, love the description of the love child. I think Americauna's are the cutest of all chickens. My Maureen has the puffy cheeks and the disposition of a beauty who knows she is! I'm sorry for your losses. We have less eggs just now, but our...
MrsChickendad, I love it that you have spaces for the babies, the tweens and the grownups! I have Mama Sunny and the newest Solidad in the nursery (this is within the chicken yard), but Mama Rusty is in that frame of mind and sitting on three eggs. Solidad and Mama #1 will have to move in...
Dear MrsChickendad, I just returned from a week at the National Cushman Motorscooter Meet with my DH. I had ample opportunity to read! A favorite author of mine is Bailey White. She wrote "When Mama Makes Up Her Mind" and "Sleeping at the Starlight Motel", plus others. Her style of writing...
Dear MrsChickendad - I read the bit about your wonky glasses to my DH. He said if we ever hit the lotto, we will have to go see you. He said we wouldn't care about the high gas prices then. I said, yes, I would love to meet that funny lady. Perhaps our travels will take us close to your...
Yippee! I can't wait for the new Barbara! My Barbara is okay - she's a lovely girl - but, in the personality department, a bit bland. Yay, MrsChickendad! Miss Diva will make her appearance forthwith!
Oh, dear MrsChickendad, how I have missed you! Every line you write is a mental picture. I know you don't look like a little old lady, but I can just see a little old lady flying off the back of a cantering steed as he goes in one direction and she in the other! oxoxo Caroline
I don't know what I love most about this thread; MrsChickendad's entertaining stories or the entertaining responses. One thing I do know, this is the kindest conversation on the web. Thanks much, all, for the pleasant additions to my day. Caroline
Darling MrsChickendad - you have been through so many trials this year - you deserve all the fuzzy butts you can get! Merry Christmas, dear, and to all those who love you. Caroline
Dear MrsChickendad, are you feeling better? Happy Turkey Day! Ours will be a small gathering since we are a small flock. Hope someone is cooking for you. Eat lots of turkey - it is good for you!
gently, Caroline
