Change of plans

I had to google what the heck a squash boar is. I was just imagining a big old pig that goes round eating squash.

I just did this exact thing! We do have wild pigs here in TX so that's what my thoughts ran to immediately....

I've never had one, but when I saw it I freaked out, it was the biggest grub I had ever seen Needless to say it destroyed my plant in a matter of days. But the chickens loved it

After a week of downpours I finally got the grow out pen cleaned up and the littles moved. Only 2 are from my WTB, they escaped the divider and they were the last 2 to hatch while I was home and the others were already in the brooder. They are ebony and ivory. The others are 1 wheaten Marans from Fiona and 1 orp mix. Then some random pics of the generational OE's (12 weeks) the remaining Bielefelder (15 weeks) and some of the ladies.

Today's harvest, 3/4 of that bowl is banana peppers, so I'm gonna make some pepper jelly

Had an abundance of tomatoes this week so I'm making some savory tomato jam. Also a fella who bought a bunch of blue wheaten OE chicks sent me some pics, they are mixed in with some of his own but you can absolutely tell which ones are cockerels, I think they're gorgeous The pretty one in the front corner with the spangled chest is one of the orp/marans mixes. Onyx is weaning her chicks and teaching them to roost. I'll try and grab some pics of the OE's this weekend, but today is jam, then getting some ribs on the grill with some pool time and margaritas

Today is a good day for a margarita! I just finished mowing about 6 acres. I need an adult Gatorade now (what I call a Margarita).

I just went out to collect eggs and check on the littles (I opened their hidey hole doors) and Betty laid a bloody yolk right in front of me, then I found her egg from today. This has me worried!

Wow. Is she acting ok?

I've never seen anything like that. I hope she's ok....
