Farm chatter

Trail mix from when we went backpacking was raisins and peanut M&Ms. You didn't have to touch it, just pour some in your mouth. That was important when you probably had dirty hands and no way to wash them, and it might be warm enough to make chocolate chips melt. Plus, it was sugar, fat, and protein, so it kept you going.

The walks were nice, but I don't miss sleeping on the ground or carrying 45 pounds on my back. DH used to carry 60-70.

I wouldn't mind if we accidentlly got a rooster. As long as it's only one and if there happened to be two, well guess that's dinner.....

No roosters for me!

Trail mix: dried cranberries and pineapple, cashews and almonds and shredded coconut--yum

Why no roosters for you?

hubby says no way...lol. it is all about compromise at this point since we are new to chickens. took 3 years of gently hinting to get the first group of ladies. but only 3 days to get him to say yes to a 2nd coop. so I will get there, one day

Why did he not want chickens?

We have 3 large coops. Planning to build a coop next year for my Sumatras, which are an Exotic Chicken breed.

I'd loooove roosters but I need to minimize the chance of getting one right now because of parents, space restrictions, and neighbors

not that he didn't want them, he felt we didn't have time--which we (and by we I mean me) probably didn't. but now working from home for over a year and our kids are bigger it wasn't as hard of a sell.

I will have 3 coops by spring, lol. Go big, right?
