We went to TSC then this cute little Farmers store everything is locally grown and processed. I got blueberries and corn on the cob for chickees and us. Got some nice meat and fruit. They have giant roosters and chickens and windmills. My hubby knows what to get me for xmas. Started on the small run to go inside the large run got most of it done will finish up tomorrow. Done too much today and my back is killing me I may go soak in a hot tub. We got started on the floor of the 2nd coop. Put 10x4 pallets together for base of the floor. Just need plywood and get started on 3 walls and a door and the large run.
Drinking my Redbull. Time for some caffeine or a nap.
 
I finally got out of my home for a few hours for the first time in about five weeks. It was a really lovely afternoon.
The staff in the place we eat feel like friends the chief and waiter treat me so well. A very worthwhile effort.
Then stop complaining about the asparagus being under cooked! :tongue :D I’m kidding. I’m having a bad day.
 
Why the sad response Alex? What did I do to upset you? I just didn’t understand your post tagging me about help.
I just want you to fly over here and help me with my farm. Marie said she’s on her way also. I have room in the house. And if necessary, I can sleep in the coop!

Not sure I would be much help - I don't even know how to make split pea soup (never even had it).
 
I also think black chickens are really beautiful. For a long time the only black chickens I saw were harcos, a type of black RIR we have that are not especially pretty. Later I saw pictures of Australorps on the internet and found them striking. But the black hens featured on this thread have really caught my eyes. I fell in love with little Bella†, who left too early. I think Dorothy is stunning, and Raven so special. And Lilly the Ironbeak who passed before I started following 🖤. Merle isn't a striking or elegant beauty but I to my eyes she is very beautiful. I'm so happy I got a black chicken in the hatch, and even more that it's very probably the bantam of the lot.

I admire you so much for the way you take care of your Grandma. Four generations of strong minded women is not often seen. I think doing this hatch for her is a beautiful gesture. If you're feeling adventurous you could even let her name one or two chicks.

Bernadette has always had a solid spirit- brave as a bear. It's to your credit that she is so strong on her legs now.

It's raining steadily today. The chickens are unhappy and I will do taxes and accounting inside.
Caturday: Grochatila knows how to deal with rain.

Awwww I wanna be a cat and luv with a family who spoils me on my next incarnation 😊

Poor Dorothy was so cold this morning I plopped her into the nest box and put the radiant heater on her. Then when it warmed up outside I let her out to bask in the sun. Tonight I will keep her in the feed room with the furnace on. I will get her into a crate at evening chores after they have all gone to bed. Poor Dorothy - but I told her soon she would be back to her shimmering blue/black/green self 😊❤️
