CALIFORNIA The Whole State thread

[sewandgrow]

I think I have another blue Boy in the bachelor pad out back. I will have to check his wing # to see if he is from the same breeder that the one you have is if you got that one from me too.
I am taking another load of free ranging free loaders in tomorrow but I don't usually stay around. I just basically drive througfh & drop off. The lady that bought the White Rock breeding group did not want the back up rooster. She is working on a project to sex lonk chicks by crossing the white rocks with something barred I think. I am so not into all the genetics.
Those days of rain has made everything a muddy mess around here & I am looking forward to nice weather & having things dry out.
The 6+ hours of power failure has played with my incubator results, I do believe, I still have hatches but they are delayed & slow to complete & that is the only thing I can think of that has changed. Never in over 33 years do I remember having an outage that long. O
ff to fix my SIL enchilada dinner for his belated birthday dinner. Whoever has a birthday gets to choose the Sunday dinner menu & he chose my beef enchiladas rice & beans & I am making strawberry shortcakes for dessert with the new instant mini cakes my daughter gave me the fun & fast recipe for.
Call me Kim if you need that rooster.

This poor little Game chick isn't doing very well at all. I was really hoping he'd get better. My neighbor has seen him, so not upset. I don't know how long he held onto these eggs before I set them. But this chick is barely hanging on and nothing I've done has held. That frustrates me. I think I did better doctoring before I even went through Pre-Vet Med. It sucks. I guess my expertise is dogs and exotic birds.

I need to get some wire over here. I haven't heard what the weather is suposed to be doing, but I need to reclaim my backyard, make room for brooders and get my raised bed planted and another made. Then I have to finish turning the yard and go back over a lot that was turn and grade it this time. Amazing how my brown yard has become so green in all the laces that aren't done.

I have 2 broodies now. Fat Chick was on a mission and one of my Silver Phoenix is hopefully going to hatch me out some more of those. I only have the trio from the Stockton show and I'd like to have at least one if not 2 quads. Mt roos tail feather that I picked u and measured is 30" long. They are so beautiful. Just so flighty that I have to keep them well contained. I want to build a small Hoop Coop with enough height for my roo to let that gorgeous tail hang so I san see it.

Been childless here since Easter. Not sure I want that to change. LOL Just kidding. I mess them, but boy is it quiet here. Well except the occassional crow or egg song.

Think I'll walk over to the auction tomorrow and see what kind of supplies I can come up with.

OH and I need a blue AM roo. I have this other one and I would really like to use him, I'm just still so angry at him over Harley that I'm pretty sure he's going. Funny thing. Most people say AM roos are very friendly and gentle. I've had good ones, but this one and the blue that hatched from the same eggs are not what I want. I want friendly and if I have to chase one down to stop them from hurting another bird, it's not worth it. So if someone has a NICE blue please let me know.

Suddenly so sick this evening. Maybe I'm allergic to the kids! haha

Thought I had called it a night, but ended up on here. Fading fast though.

Karen my roo was from the chicks that Sunny and I ordered from rocknpaints last year. I hope you see this before to take him to the auction. I just really don't feel well. I'm actually to sick to talk. Now you know I have to be sick.

OK I think I can sleep now. School tomorrow after a week off and I'm going to have a hard time waking up on top of not feeling well.

I am 158 miles north west of you in Woodland. What kind of chickens do you have or are you just getting them?

What color egg do you think an Americana crossed with a SG Dorking will lay? I think I have a pullet that is one of those. The other one looks like a Rooster.

My wife bought 12 pullets from TSC. 6 from the "red" breed, and 6 from a mixed. I wanted a variety, but she got anxious.

 

[ronott1]

That sounds like fun! Are the Red Chickens RIR's from Ideal? If so, they are egg laying machines. Fairly nice temperament too. The mixed Hens could be fun figuring out what they are. They will all be good layers though.

Please ask questions if you have them.

Well it's not confirmed but it looks like Clayton may be it. She has a fenced in area of over 1100 sq feet I can use. I can have 10 pens in there I think

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I should know tomorrow night

Wow I'm starting to think my 1,600 square foot pen for my marans and my 2,500 square foot pen for the polish, ams and Kims lavender egg birds is way over kill! So now I'm wondering if I can just split those 2 runs in half and put another coop on the other side of each? 2 more coops within the fencing that is already up would be great!!!

...Off to fix my SIL enchilada dinner for his belated birthday dinner.

OK not fair to mention such an interesting recipe then dash off and leave us hanging! Instant mini cakes? Tell us! C'mon, inquiring minds want to know!

I am so excited! Steve and I just ordered an ice cream maker!!! I know it doesn't seem like a huge deal to most but it's been on our wish list for a while now but just wasn't in the budget. We found one on sale on Amazon and finally bought one!!! Now I just need a cow for fresh cream and milk!

OK now I'm being greedy but I am looking for an enchilada sauce recipe that is flavorful without being hot & spicy. DH doesn't like spicy or hot food (Thank goodness he at least loves garlic and veggies) I don't care for heat but love spices. Any suggestions? My Mom used to have a great enchilada sauce recipe that was really flavorful but not hot. She said she didn't know where it was and now, well... it's gone for good. If they are family secrets I totally understand though!

Oh dear! I hope you get plenty of rest tonight and feel all better in the morning! Tell the kids I said "Hi"!

I know right where that's at! I lived in Fresno for a year and have a habit of driving to surrounding towns "just because". IDK why I like it so much. Family tradition I guess.
