    Mr. B you never seen Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

I have seen PART of it, to much artificial beauty. ......

 

[BullChick]

NVM, four eggs.

@DwayneNLiz @MotorcycleChick I forget which one of you told me to keep the cracked, rolling AC one. Well, it has veins....

I did.

Hi Chicken Hawk! 

Cute, congratulations! 



Awesome!

Brrrrr. not certain what my wind chill is supposed to be tomorrow. 

Bummer, I hope it was only a one day strike!

Yes, how long ago did it hatch?

Thank you, this little one, who's now holding her head up much better, was hatched around 2:30

 

[Ladyfarm]

OK, how is the one with the weak neck doing now?

Much better! Thank you!

 

[Eruedraith]

That is great. I hope for your sake their are more.

@Eruedraith. Good luck with your quail. Nice to hear from you again. How are your older chicks?

Thank you! It's nice to be back. I've been flat out with helping building my parent's house, and general Christmas madness. Somehow I've been able to set and hatch a couple small batches in the midst of it all.

Ahh the fate of my first batch you ask??

Well. Out of all I got ONE pullet. She is doing very nicely.

We had a father and sons meal a while ago with our neighbors and ate the big daddy Sussex and two of the 4 cockerels out of the batch (they were unbelievebly tender and tasty) and as for the other two! A fox was rude and brave enough to come during the day and take them to "the grandparents farm".

Tree is decorated FINALLY!!! and "dead santa is waiting under the tree" lol

Is/was that a live tree? If not, that's about the nicest artificial I've ever seen, and the only one I've ever complimented.

 

[kwhites634]

Where did everyone go?

Did you see anything today? @kwhites634

Saw one that looked to be good size; never came onto my property. One of the young ones that always come around stopped by for a visit.

It's SOOOOO slow!!!! I never thought the Naked Neck thread would be faster than this one!

I'm about to try to make maple syrup candy for the first time. Wish me luck!

Maple syrup candy is delicious.

Eating your own home grown chicken is the best way to go. Better then anything you could ever buy in a store.

Morning everyone.
