It's been a stressfull year...got laid off from my job at the end of May last year and haven't found another one here. Sooooo, DH put in for a job transfer and he was just told yesterday that it was approved. We'll be moving to Trinidad, CO this summer. He's asked his manager to keep him here until mid July. The new station wants him there by June 18. If the house doesn't sell by his transfer date, he'll go down and I'll stay here until the house sells.
Now the hard work starts with getting the house ready to go on the market, organizing, packing, throwing things out, etc. Sadly, most of my chickens and the ducks have to go.
I have some that I'm going to ship down...Blue Orps from Tori, some of my project Lav. Orps from Beth G and scbatz that I hatched last fall, and some of my Silkies. In addition, we have to move 13 dogs, 4 horses, and 1 cat. I think I feel a headache coming on for the next few months.
If anyone is interested in my chickens let me know...I have 7 Speckled Sussex and 7 EE's, all from MPC last Aug. 10 and all pullets. Two Silkie roos, a black from Bobbi Porto, and a beardless Lav. (Possibly my Cuckoo Silkie roo and black hen) Two black split Orp roos and a couple of blk split pullets. I also have 4 ducks available...a Khaki Campbell/Rouen drake, 2 Blue Swedish hens, and a "mutt" hen from the drake and one of the BS hens. She looks just like a BS.
On a good note, I started quilting again, done some knitting (which I'm still not very good at) and I'm looking at learning to make soap since the place we were getting our goat's milk soap closed and the family is taking some time away from the business. Maybe I can work it in to a homebased business down there.
