@mlm Mike STOLE YOUR IMAGE you just sent to me muwahhahha!!!

These are some of the Marans and a PEPPER boy Mike hatched, looks like he is still having some growing to do. he should be of nice eating size. @daxigait


The marans were from speckles, the Maran that lays the spotted egg

not sure why but this image makes them darker than I remember

unless these were early laying since they lighten as the keep laying in the year until molt. idk but those are her eggs and thems the chicks. I am starting to think I may like them better than the new stock with the darker eggs! So do I go with SOP or darker eggs????

that one has too much yellow, Mike says its not yellow, but the image looks like the one is.

That is LITERALLY making me want to drive up there and grab that SOB by the scruff of the neck - better yet, to complain to the State Medical Board about his behavior (or better yet, his mother). Probably a good thing I don't live close to you.

I came home early to try to get some stuff done, but then had to deal with some unexpected stuff for work here not eh home computer for a few hours - VERY grumpy about that (limited daylight and all). At least I got to read back while waiting.

I suppose I should go get to work, though. Later!

No idea how you survive in an area hot enough to kill mint.

How does AC do anything in that heat?? It barely does anything here, and temps ain't nothing compared to what y'all get...

Feeling almost normal...or what passes for normal, anyway.
Shed's just sitting there for now. It got too cold to work on it, then I went down the first week of Feb. and wasn't allowed to do much more than breathe 'til just recently. Gonna be getting fairly warm here soon, so I should be able to get back at it.

I'm a fair weather worker anymore, I guess. I figure I've earned the right. Had to work regardless of the weather for 20+ years. Don't have to now, & I ain't gonna!

btw I loveeeeee that other image with the fish!!!

I see you beautiful!!

You could bring some of it inside in the winter. I am surprised that it didn't come back.

mine didnt three years ago, lost all of it. dont ask me why
You must mean the one on FB...only one up that I can think of. She's one of the larger Crappie I've caught around here...15"+ if I remember....that was taken several years back.
