Yep, looks like you are spot on! Are they Orpington mixes?

Thanks, Troyer! They all came out of blue/ green eggs, so mothers all EE. Dad is a big red rooster with a walnut or rose comb, a backyard mix with a great personality. So. ?? X EE if I got that right. Sire first, hen second, right?

This is Sylva, GirlChild's new cat. She put a harness on her so she can take her for a walk. Sylva has been running around and turning flips in protest. Now she's dead. Notice cat's sideburns. She has these big side whiskers that make her look like Sonic the Hedgehog. Cracks me up.

Well, down a loach already. Everything I'm seeing online says that they need to be in groups of six plus, and need to be in a bigger tank - 55 gallons at the minimum. (mine's only 29) Sooo...the guy at the fish store kind of led us astray. I've got him bagged in a mason jar in the fridge for now - not sure if we're going to go back and see about an exchange but I'm leaning towards money well wasted thanks husband...since...uh...we can't provide a proper environment for happy clown loaches anyway. TOO SMALL.

Don't have room for a huge huge tank either.

Stopped by tractor supply with Goose after our little send at the grasslands today - he's recognized there They also had baby geese!!!! They told me I needed geese, I laughed and said yeah, I have a goose already but I NEED GEESE!

...Did not get geese, however. Saving my brooder for if ever I see speckled sussexes or easter eggers.

Made it out of there with just the chicken feed I came in for. Be proud of me y'all.

I love clown loaches, but they are difficult to keep.
Yeah, chicks are hard to resist! I have three young Speckled Sussex girls that survived the trip from the hatchery. But none of the boys survived.

Morning Conjunctivitis? Or maybe a stye?

I dont think so. It hurts behind the eye.

Well dagnabbit. Hubs got ambitious.

So....the midlife crisis had a gorgeous pretty Volvo windshield. Wasn't properly sealed though. D'oh. Hence my mold removal process. Hubs had the great idea that HE would remove, reseal and redo the windshield. I....had feelings about this but...ok, fine why not.

Yeah. He cracked the windshield. Luckily, there's a safelight within walking distance from my work, and they had an appointment tomorrow. Sigh....that was expensive.

Hubs "I wonder if we can claim that through insurance"
me "uh, so not worth it, our deductible is more than the cost of the windshield"

Dear county:

Please hurry the flock up and reimburse my husband for his mileage and per dium for the sacramento trip. Could really use the money right meow. kthxbai.
