A question for my chicken peeps.. The middle of last week I had some silver sebright eggs that I needed to sell and get in the mail quickly due to my schedule.. well I sold one dozen here.. and another on FBook. I am having a bit of a problem with the person on FBook.. a kid it seems. Being...

Deb.. I need more Speckled Sussex eggs if you have any available. I can send paypal if you have any.. might help a tad with the feed bill. I have been busy with the grandson...I need to take some chickens to the sale this weekend but depending on how much time I spending chasing the...

We were able to finish the last of the two coops Tuesday -- that fine tuning stuff that seems to take up a bunch of time. I went to move the Quad of Speckled Sussex over and the darn rooster was missing..the next day, we looked EVERYWHERE for him.. not a sign..no feather.. nothing. I started...

It is terribly hot.. we are building two new pens that will be divided (making four) so I can finally separate some of my layers.. picked up a VERY NICE trio of Speckled Sussex that I can't wait to get some pure eggs from.. plus babies from Deb are hatching this weekend.. so excited.. Well...

Deb.. glad to hear that hubby is doing better... but yes.. you truly married your soulmate as neither of you know how to relax..lol (on a side note--I too was married in 1978) I spent the day in Athens yesterday for my nephews graduation. We went out to eat to celebrate and ooh by the time I...

Spent most of the night at the emergency vet clinic with our boy dogchild (Bear) who was having seizures. He was 11 years old. We ended up having to make that tough decision after the vet determined he had a brain tumor and kept having back to back seizures.. I am terribly sad.. only animal...

I am so sorry to hear about all the predator problems.. I know they have to eat too.. and I consider myself an animal lover.. but gotta draw the line at eating my chickens. So far.. so good here.. but considering I have a nesting pair of hawks close by.. will have to double the protective...

Well I bought enough for the both of us.. I came home with lets see... a BEAUTIFUL pair of Silver Laced Wyndottes.. I missed out on a rooster about 6 months ago and had been kicking myself ever since.. so when this pair came up.. and I know the seller well.. I jumped.. now I have a trio...

With my week off (Spring Break) I had hoped to get alot done.. but the Grandson was with me (helping my son save a little daycare money) so I played with him instead. The good news is that the Sportsman did an EXCELLENT job -- I now have 40ish (they won't be still for an accurate count)...

Yesterday I was up on the 1/3 side (what we call the chick grow out area) of the coop picking up the caged white silkies I was selling when I smelled the distinctive ROTTEN EGG smell.. one of the broody hens had pushed out the egg.. thank goodness it happened outside.. she hatched out 3 - two...

UGGG dentist..I need to make an appointment and will bite that bullet soon. I have decided that I am allergic to doctors of any sort.. Deb.. I am sending healing hugs your way.. I wish I could discover some miracle cure for you.. and as for your eggs.. I love them. The auctions on BYC are...

Deb.. so sorry to hear that your back continues to aggravate and cause you pain. It seems like this past week has been a blur but I am getting done slowly. I wanted to get the coops cleaned out this weekend but Saturday was busy with grocery shopping and then the auction. I went early --...

I had an eventful weekend. Let's see.. started early Saturday morning with a text about availability of some laying hens.. that turned into a phone call..then another phone call.. and then finally the "we are on our way" phone call. Met with this nice couple and their two children.. they...

oohh Deb..so sorry to hear that your back is giving you trouble.. I have apparently slept wrong the last couple of days.. or done too much during the waking hours as I get up with back and neck issues.. luckily they work themselves out as I get busy in the morning. Sending you healing hugs...

Thank you for the birthday wishes.. I think the older we get..the more like "just any other day" our birthday becomes. I mailed out three boxes of eggs and went to the grocery store AGAIN -- twice in two days.. forgot lunch meat the first time arrggg. I cleaned out one of the incubators...
