I was great at math until algebra, (a terrible teacher made it even worse,) but I loved geometry! You might be surprised 🙂

Geometry I have a interest in - and it's really practical esp if you're building things! Like more chicken coops! Or big barns to house all the chickens you want to get :)
 
The big birds in their fancy coop. It's rather nice in there, noticeably warmer than outside and hardly any smell.
Look at the fabulous roo Cowspots is turning into! He's gorgeous!

Splash copper marans. No eggs yet but if it's anything like my first group of chickens, they'll start to lay in January.

The semester is finally over. I finished with decent grades, and I’m glad to finally be out of those classes.
My school changes classes each semester, so you take half of your classes first semester and the other half second semester (four classes a day).
First semester I had English, Acting 1 (dad forced me to take it), Animal Science, and AP Gov and politics.
I ended English with a 91, acting with a 100, Animal Science with a 97, and AP Gov with an 81. All of my friends ended gov with 70’s, so I’m quite happy that I didn’t. My teacher was out the last two weeks because she was in the hospital, so that was helpful. She’s okay, thank goodness, but I could’ve gotten an A if she had been there to actually put in grades. I’m just glad she’s okay though.
Next semester I have Geometry (it’s honors and I’m screwed… I barely got a B in non honors algebra last year), Vet Science (when I take my end of pathway assessment at the end of the year, I can get vet tech certified), Wildlife Management, and Dual Enrollment/AP Biology 2.
I’m actually very excited for all these classes. I have friends in all of them, and in Wildlife management I’ll be able to spend time with my school chickens because the teacher is the one who helps me and my friend with the chickens, and the coop is right outside the classroom.
But for two weeks, I get a break from school and I don’t need to stress about grades.

Oh, and my friend and I put that persons barred rocks in a different coop. The girl lied to us, both of our ag teachers (the one who is helpful with the chickens and the one that we had problems with), and so the ag teacher that we had problems with told us to put the BR’s in with her chickens (the ones that killed my friends polish) and so we did… kinda. We put a tsc coop in the chicken pen and put the BR’s in there to get the chickens used to each other so that that BR’s don’t die.
The girl apparently told the problem ag teacher that she was going to make my friend and I do all of the work… why she told an ag teacher that? No clue. The girl isn’t very smart… the ag teacher failed her on the project that she had the chickens for.
Let me say, this girl asked what honey was made out of… and then when our chickens started fighting her barred rocks, said “oh, look, they’re playing!” No… no they aren’t. She also didn’t research AT ALL about chickens before she got them. Ugh, I hate people sometimes.

Anyways, here’s my tax. My favorite boy ever, Athens. He’s such a sweetie. He only attacks people if they don’t baby talk him. Like, I’ve told people that have watched our chickens when we go out of town to baby talk him, they think I’m joking, and then get attacked.
Although, Mom baby talks him and he attacks her on occasion. Maybe he just likes me, I dunno. He’s my favorite boy though.

Hurray on the grades! You are a smart cookie! Proud of you! & to still make time for chickens I'm impressed cuz they do need a certain type of care & attention... just as any domesticated animal does 💕 The new semester sounds a bit more your forté & hope your instructors will be good ones.

Nice warmer coop!

January was always a start date for layers here too. Odd cuz it's the start of our coldest time of year (Jan thru March)?

Daylight hrs start to increase - my horses will start to shed their hair in mid January. I eggspect my Noirans to start laying end of January... but they can wait I am in no hurry!

Well they all look like they are weathering to weather good, I am hoping the rest of the winter wont be so cold (and no more snow!).

Are your guinea fowl male or female? and does the male scrap with your roosters?

2 male guineas, my female was killed by a dog. So far there is no fighting but it's not the breeding season for guineas so they might then?

I was just wondering because I might get keets in the Spring... if I have a broody that would be so helpful. But I worry about males fighting with the boys, Mr P is elderly and the other 2 are wee (and Mr LC can be a dingaling). My luck I would get all males hahaha!


Rotten luck with the female so sad
😢

Just checking out the fuzzy legs/feet on everyone - love them!

Meant to ask - will you be getting any splash pullets for your handsome boy? I wonder what colours you will get from those chestnut hens, and the light coloured one - gosh I can't wait to see the babies ❤️
