Interestingly enough, if the flash was used it washed them out.

2 lemon pound cakes with lemon drizzle and Lemon icing done. A 3rd smaller one is already half gone and they are delicious. We have a gallon bag of zest in the freezer. A gallon of fresh lemonade is in the fridge. Within the next 20 minutes a cheesecake is going in the oven and we will get started on the lemon curd.

I was wondering if the ‘waive’ was on purpose?

I need a flag here!

Thanks for nothing spell check!

Last night I fell on my derrière in the Summer House while getting everyone in bed in the Hen House.

Nothing hurt, I was carrying two chooks at the time (Curly and Henny), Curly started flapped and threw me off balance, I didn’t want to drop her so down I went cradling her. She stood on my chest looking at me - likely sizing up an eyeball to peck - but then hopped off me and marched back and hopped up onto the roosting ledge.

Henny was a good girl and stayed with me, I put her in her nestbox she sleeps in, over at the Hen House.

My gosh, be careful.

I have some sad news to share, especially for those who followed her journey from the start. Little Piou-piou was killed early this morning by a weasel that broke in the coop.
She was our special little princess and we are heartbroken.
I'll post a tribute when I feel less upset.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I am behind and learned this from the summary so I'll ask something that has probably already been asked and answered. Please forgive me but I need to know.

Did you capture/ kill the weasel and do you know how it got in?

 

[BY Bob]

Rain and lots of it. I would rather that than frigid weather.

Artic air is on the way for next week.

Oooooooo !

Lookie what I have come across - and Pickering is only like 90min from here!

They bring chicks up from Texas! I wonder what hatchery????!!!

And they have Brabanters! But no Orloff

EDIT
Huge BUMMER!

Seems you also have a Pickering in the US….. so no easy 90min drive for me…. Oh well.

I should not laugh at that but what were the odds?

 

[BY Bob]

Athens, Tennessee.....and it looks like they mostly sell hatching eggs, including @BY Bob Isabella leghorn eggs (yes, I'm enabling)

Someone remember this for when one of mine goes broody in 2025.
