Granny's gone and done it again

Granny, this is my new favorite. I'd sell my eggs for a flock of them.

Hey all, just popping my head in real quick - miss chatting, just been a busy couple of days and have some stuff going on.......sun is finally shining here and is supposed to stay clear until Saturday, so might get the boys out in the yard to start doing some measuring and planning....think we might be able to start building by the first of the month

....I've made them promise to keep it simple and not overthink/overbuild this time so hopefully it won't become a long, drawn out process as I'd really like to pick up chicks by the end of February at the latest. I've needed this - giving me something positive to look forward to and focus on!

Been seeing all the wild weather going on and thinking of those of you in those areas - hope everyone is safe, warm and dry!

what kind of chickens do you have ?

I've had 8 breeds, but right now, I have... let's see, cochin banties, cinnamon queens, BSL's, a brahma, 7 EE's and 7 austra whites. 21 girls as of saturday. My little OEGB girl Lady Jane died all of the sudden

So pretty -- nice, big birds!

Just asked Tom to help me make lunch. He opened the pickle jar and got a drop of juice on him and took off to change clothes. I said thanks for the help.

LOL - was it just the fact that something was on him or that it was pickle juice? DH is definitely ANTI PICKLE -- I joke about putting a dab of juice behind each ear for "husband repellant", sad thing is it would definitely work!

Hey guys. Mind if I stick my head in here?

Hi there! Pull up a chair and sit a spell........

I have heard goat meat is nasty but I guess that depends on how hungry you are.
Lisa brought some phesant jerkey and deer summer sausage and Robert has ate it all but one sausage. He dont even bother with cheese and crackers . He just grabs one and goes to town on it. No slicing needed

I think like with anything it is all about how it's prepared -- anything can be nasty and just about anything can be made delicious. I've had it well prepared and liked it.

So sorry about Lady Jane.
You can't go wrong with cochin bantams --- they were some of my favorite birds to work with way back in my 4-H days because they are just SOOOO sweet and easy to handle. My Polish did really well for me too, but definitely were not sweet and easy to handle, I think they were more a hit for the novelty factor in the area we were in.

@PeepersMama -- funny sidenote, twice now I have had to double take your avavtar while scrolling down through the page a little too quickly -- granted I am having some eye issues today but at a quick scrolling glance it looked like a camel.

My cochins were broody raised, so they aren't super sweet, but they're both tame - although Izzy doesn't like to be held much, but that's okay

This is Frizzy Izzy,

And so far this is the best pic I have of Canary

Hi Mare, excited for you and your new coop. Is there anything you are doing different this time to maybe make things better /easier on you that you didnt have before ?

Peeps, Looks like a great bunch you have . Love the frizzled cochin. Sorry for your little oegb . she had some nice color.
Ugg, done eating and now I am sleepy.

Canary has personality!!!

Is it sad I wussed out and got a ride in with dh today? lol I don't think my wagoon could have forded the river.

Well, it may have...but either my supplies would have gotten wet or I would have gotten stuck in the mud and lost 1 day (Oregon trail)

Dangit where's my picture adding.
