Soooo - I think we should call the tabby cats Barred Rocks from now on, and the Barred Rock hens Tabbys..... I love those Tabby Hens!

I just made my Hatch a Long thread. Come join! You all get spots no matter what.

Good Night all!

Just checked the barn cam again and it seems that everyone wanted to be on the roost tonight (except Henny and Marty - smart!). Anyways I count 13 so all is good!

Actually if I told you horror stories you would bawl - one of the reasons I do not show on the Arab circuit anymore. That and I found Arabian owners/trainers to be horrid people! Rude, and only out to make a buck

So back in the early 2000s when the horse market pretty much collapsed I just kept my last foals and called it quits. I had Truly's half sister Malaka (by Imperial Baarez https://www.arabianessence.tv/horses/imperial-baarez/245/ ), but I ended up selling her. She actually is out here somewhere near Grande Prairie. I often think about looking her up - but then I decide not to - I don't want to see her if she is not treated well. I am not in a position to get another horse

I was probably sheltered from alot of the ugliness being a kid for sure. I do know that the farm my friends family ran did it differently as did those they associated with. I do however recall quite a few snotty folks at the shows though.

My best friends newest filly that just went to Scottsdale Nationals. I live vicariously lol

Well, well. The Chicken Palace is a happening place!

Spoiler: Eli

Eli has been in and out of the nest boxes all week but mainly as Babs’s bodyguard. I guess she decided to try it out for herself. She created a deep bowl in the bedding and laid this little number. It has white spots and is 46.6g = 1.6oz.
Congratulations Eli!
She seems quite surprised by what she produced.
Babs also laid today.
Bernie can’t see what all the fuss is about and thinks it is all a waste of time.
I have forgotten how I collect eggs and where I store them - I think I have a basket somewhere!

Wonderful blue glints and gold flecks on Eli in that first picture! I can't tell what color the egg is - blue-ish in the outside pics, pale brownish with white speckles in the last.

Here is one I really like:

I cannot stand their water… I mean beer, unless it is the lime version, but I am such a sucker for those horses. My Grandfather and Father are both named Clyde, so maybe that has something to do with it. I don’t know, I just like gentle giants when it comes to ponies I guess!
