I do now... last time she raised them in the coop without any issues at all... this time I didn't take into account the trauma all the chooks were still in from the massacre and lost 2 Lav chicks due to the others scalping them...

Good morning! @Amberjem , bill me the $50! I don't have time to catch up....ever. Getting ready for work.

I seen the other day that you grow mints. What types do you have? I have a passion for mints. I grow them, dry them & use them for tea. I have peppermint, chocolate mint, orange mint, apple mint, grapefruit mint, bee balm and lemon balm.

@bamadude , Welcome back! Hope you all had a wonderful time & used sunscreen.

@Beer can , YEAH on the chicks!!!

Hope they send you something good. After all you've been through with them, they better!

We've got a few things going on here. Much too much for me to list in the 10 minutes I have......

I have an EE that got sick from playing in the rain. They have access to go into the coop when it rains, but she (and others) decided not to go inside, one day a couple weeks ago. I gave her a couple days worth of duramycin when I noticed her sneezing & coughing and isolated her in a dog crate. She got a little better, then 2 days ago it came back with a vengeance. Her eye was swollen shut & had goop seeping out of it. She was coughing & sneezing. I gave her a stronger dose of duramycin & she seems to be getting better. I hate to cull her because I love the shade of green egg she lays. Although she is not currently laying & we wouldn't eat it anyways due to the antibiotic until the withholding period is over. Just hoping she gets better.

Still working on the house. Never ending story.

It's been raining almost everyday and our garden is FLOODED. Weeds have outgrown the plants. We cant roto-till because the mud just cakes onto the blades & our boots. Can't pull the weeds because it pulls up the soil in clumps & won't come off. Our potatoes are doing good. We are doing the stack tire method & we are on the 3rd tire on both stacks. We have one stack of red potatoes & one stack of Idaho potatoes. We have standing puddles of water all over the yard & garden. Have to wear our boots just to step out the door.

Don't tell DH, but my daughter has decided that we need more chicks. Who am I to argue

? So, she put 9 eggs under our crazy broody black Jersey Giant. That hen is super funny. Broodzilla! My daughter told me last night we are on day 14. I am taking a flashlight back there tonight & candling them. This is her 1st time being broody. We had 4 go broody at once and tried to break them all. She is too stubborn though.

Well, you all have a great day

. Got to go to work.

We have the plot maps, there are supposed to be iron pins in the corners... everyone agrees that the other one at the front of our property is in center of our driveway we share with good neighbors... can't find the other one even with metal detector... measure from the first and the stop us 50' short...
Yep... each of our plots are 150' wide... from where they say the line is, it makes ours 100' wide and theirs 200' wide... :/
All we could do is sue, and can't afford that either... they absolutely refuse to take any responsibility whatsoever... said that 'in the country' dogs are allowed to run free as they please...

oh, BS on the dogs running free.

So why is it bad to cross lavander and blue just because the gene can get confusing or? @RavynFallen
 

blue also leaks black. That black ticking is undesirable. This can cause the lavender to have black ticking also. I've got a lady close by who breed Lavender Orpingtons and her flock is full of it because she keeps using blue
