Tax.

NO! says Little. You may NOT take a picture of my fluffy butt!

You need to identify your pink egg layer. If she has a beard and muffs we all know our Queen Aurora will designate her your new queen of the flock.

I think I woke up grumpy. He’s acting a little hostile towards me today. I’m hoping that Jaffar is doing okay. Grumble grumble .

Yep first sell

Congratulations!!!

 

[RebeccaBoyd]

Yep first sell

Congratulations. Now you just need to roughly sell about 999 more dozen to even begin to hope to break even with your initial start up costs on raising chickens. Lets not look at it that way though. Depending on your egg price, let us say if you can sell 3 dozen a week we can say they the girls are paying for themselves now. If you turn around and invest the egg money into your feed bill that is.

Noticing how lighter brown Nellie looks in the rock climbing picture versus the field!
PS Kren is magnificent!

Here are my bobcat pics for more “data input”. The ones I have seen here are a little “leaner” than the ones @bgmathteach posted. This one came by my deer stand a few years ago, posed for me and then trotted off (not a run, just a slow trot).

That chicken under "Bobcat tax" is playing the back of what looks like a xylophone? Innovative John Cage* approach...

"John Milton Cage Jr. was an American composer and music theorist. A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde"
