Oh my gosh he is just precious and look at that shock of hair what a darling, tell your daughter well done! Congratulations

Today Marty laid a perfect pink egg, I am sure HRH will be pleased with this. I know I am!

Hopefully Marty can keep this up for the next few months before going broody again, and I can get some lovely silkie babies from her.

My friend is good with my borrowing her Roo, I will likely go with the black one.

So cold and no power today.
Girls appreciate the covered run though!

But with views like this...we'll deal with power outages. That's what generators are for.

And we're currently evacuated...the house CO2 alarm was going off after our morning walk. Dad thinks the generator was venting into the house somehow, the exhaust was pointed right at the crawlspace door. We've opened it up to air out, dad is checking now to see if it's okay.
One funny thing from this...our lizard kept escaping so we had to put him in a trash can.

He has a hot pad and a nice towel.

That's scary. I hope it turns out OK.

Update on Marty - this morning she laid a nice perfect pink egg with a good shell.

Wonderful!

During a woe is me rant a few weeks ago, (apologies to everyone), I mentioned that my buddy is having colon cancer surgery. He had surgery today and the doctor believes he got it all. Thanks for any and all thoughts and prayers. I will gladly post tax pics tomorrow yall

I am copying this from a post on a facebook group called Everything Backyard Chicken! This is relatable on so many levels and had me in tears laughing.

You’re a chicken

owner now. That’s great that you had a golden doodle named “Pepper” and know how to care for animals. Take all that knowledge about dogs, cats or whatever 4 legged mammal you have and tuck it away neatly in the file labeled “useless”. Cuz my brothers and sisters in Christ, chickens will have you second guessing yourself about embarking into the world of mini velociraptors. Let me explain further:
If you don’t currently cuss, the second a rooster tries to spur you like he pays rent, you’ll be saying vulgar words in many different languages that you didn’t know you knew

. Or when a broody hen tries to peck your eyeballs out, you’ll be saying things that you’re mother would be ashamed of.
Chickens do not need heat or AC. Pepper the golden doodle might’ve, but not Rocky the rooster. Take that money and go get a good pair of muck boots

. Or go replace those bald tires that are one illegal U turn away from being past tense.
Chicken math is an addiction and should be treatable and covered by health insurance. Just like it’s guaranteed that you’re gonna have that one relative that has one too many PBRs and embarrasses the whole family at the reunion, chicken math is as certain as taxes and death. Don’t fight it. You’re not strong enough.
Chickens will sh*t

on your porch even if they live on enough land to support a large Amish community. Your porch is gonna be where they go to get away from their kids and try to recenter their zen. You might pay the mortgage, but through the powers of imminent domain, it’s theirs now and you’re just allowed to exist on it. That’s it. You’re basically the maid and housekeeper for them that is underpaid and don’t get a 401k.
If you don’t already have a therapist, don’t worry. Cuz one day you’ll find yourself sitting with the chickens with either a bottle or a cooler full of adult beverages talking about how Pam at work would not shut up about her trip to Spain with her sister and now you’re questioning if you really even need that job. And they’re gonna appear to be attentive but in reality you’re making them wish they never hatched. And now they’re the ones needing a therapist after hearing all your trauma stories.
NO matter how much lovins you give them, some chickens will just not like you. Yes it might remind you of that certain ex that didn’t give you validation or affection. It’s not their fault tho in this case. So just throw em food and tell em to eff off every single day like a grown up.
So yeah, you’re a chicken owner now. We go through all of that emotional trauma, physical and mental bullying just to save $5 on eggs

. It’s a great time to be alive
