Me and my phone just had to get a little juice

JWB, sorry you've lost some flock. Good luck with the vet!

Ravyn, who are you trying to kid... Cut back
You might be trying to reduce breeds, but will headcount actually decrease?

Made 5 pounds of sausage, letting the casings dry before smoking them, just plain smoked sausages.

I think all the windows are open now, it seems a little drafty in here.

At least for a while, it had better... feed consumption is outrageous right now and just maintenance is too much... and it's gonna get colder and worse... :/

I'm keeping the darkest layers... and think the cockerel will be up to snuff by Spring... should be covered... I don't usually get rid of the older before testing the younger, but I gotta cut back... :/

I hear ya. That's why I'm not setting any more for a while. (well, someone told me I couldn't too )

Yeah, its amazing how much less feed you go through when you cut back. Of course, the survivors have been eating Christmas leftovers and that has helped reduce feed consumption, too.

I just keep getting encouragement to set more... good grief the enabling here is awful...
