If it's not the largest I've ever gotten, it's close.

I'm alive. Just busy with chickens and dealing with horrible weather. Sun came out yesterday since what seems like weeks.

Hope everyone is well!

Hello! Yes, I haven't been here in a while. I did not hatch this spring; I ordered chicks for my broody instead. She took them with no problem & they are 4 weeks old now. They are LF orpingtons, here's a few pics:






As usual they seem to be mostly boys. I think I only have 3 girls out of 10. I'd love to keep one of the cockerels and maybe hatch out some of my own eggs, which I have never done, but it's difficult since we travel a lot in the summer. Roosters are not allowed at our house, so when we want to keep one for a while we usually put him in the garage at night to stop him from crowing, but since we won't be around much we wouldn't be able to do that. Wish I could board him somewhere for the summer!

Hope everyone is doing well & I'll have to come back & check in more often.

ugh do you realize I will be 50 in less than 4 months!!! OMG where does time go!!!!!

Me too!!!!! I don't feel this old.....

We have to pay 5% off ouer sallery, but we get THE LOUSYEST medical care. When I say lousy I mean tgat the government have a notion that called " the health basket" it is their annual budget for medical treatments and medicin, and every year they publishe the list, so if you have a major disease that have a treatment, but it isn't in the list you have to sell your home to pay it or shout yourself! So to get a proppr coverage we have to do APRIVET supplemental insurance to be 100% covered.

I work for a large insurance company. You think it would be cheaper, but it isn't.

I cover just my daughter and myself. I have a Health Savings Account. So, the company puts money in at the beginning, I have to pay 100% of the claims - the charges go against that bank first, then I pay out of pocket for a few thousand dollars, then it switches to 80/20..And then it's like normal insurance. I pay just 20% of the negotiated claim. Last year, best I could get was a 70/30 split. But this year they offered the 80/20 for a little more money per paycheck. I pay about $180 every 2 weeks. Straight insurance plan would have cost a LOT more.




For my latest hatch....I ended up with 2 silver and 2 black Americaunas. The 3rd silver I had to cull. For the eggs I was hatching for gotro17, all 5 locked down, hatched.

Hers are the 3 big yellows and the 2 brown ones in the front. Mine are the 4 being sat upon.
