Sold out by pre-orders already!

Yes likely

I was so looking forward to having a few of those chicks....

So frustrated. Cant afford the COPD medicine the doctor called in so I contacted them to give me something cheap and generic. SO she calls in another expensive medicine. Then I contact them aout that one to have them tell me to contact blue cross blue shield for a list. Well blue cross blue shield wont give out medical information and prices .......Ive called them twice and the dr 4 times and Im just getting bounced back and forth

Tax for whining

That is a wonderful photo!

Good morning everyone.

Dirt update first. My boy has not coughed in almost 48 hours and even with the stethoscope no more wheezing. I think he finishes his antibiotic in 2 days. Louis and Russ are still completely fine thankfully. He is also getting back to his spunky self in his stall. I cannot tell you how happy I am to see him bouncing around and knocking his water bucket over in a play for attention and treats. He has not been ridden in a week and a half and dad is going to give him at least another week after he finishes his meds. I know towards the end of that he will have so much energy that he will be a knot head and I will resort to name calling in the end. It is ok, I still have my boy to shout at.

You're not a knot-head, are you Saucy boy! Glad you're feeling better.

Momma and her brood. They are growing like weeds. Look, they are sprouting their little tails. I still stand by my proclamation that going broody and hatching in January is a bad idea for my area even if that ole bat disagrees. That being said, the 2 day cold snap we just had, did not phase them one bit. Momma even found worms with a inch of snow on the ground that first day. Chiquita my broken silkie, is still as determined as ever she is hatching nothing. If given half a chance she would steal on or more of those chicks. Their very presence has made breaking her up impossible. I also now cannot leave the coop shut to keep her out of her nest. Momma periodically takes them in the coop to rest and it is a warm sheltered spot. I miss my broken never broody silkie. I now have a fully functioning baby on the brain silkie.

Oh wow they really are growing like weeds! Thanks for sharing - and thanks for the update on Dirt also

Two-fer. Snowbird with Middle, who had the worst looking molt of anyone this year.

He is lovely
