Granny's gone and done it again

Nice, Larry! Be careful!

Yes and no. They are classified as auto sexing. You don't have to cross like red on white or barred to get a sex link at hatching. You can maintain just the one breed. The are not as pretty as a lot of chickens but they do have a strong following for being auto sexing with blue eggs.

I think cream leg bars are beautiful.

Good morning. Martin Luther king bday!

68° and feels like 69°
The two sides and the back wall frames are done and ready for siding on them. Have some of that roofing metal that is shiny and will never fade in my life time to go on the back and half way up the sides. Half of the sides get 1/2" hardware cloth from the front to where it meets the metal material. This 12x13 coop is 40% done with just the two of us working on it. Catch my breath and then will be back at it until the rain starts. Hoping the rain fizzles out. It would be nice it they guess wrong this time in my favor.

I had no idea that Canada had grid problems

Usually not. But even Canada may be doing the push to electric furnaces/water heaters/stoves - always had electric stoves but natural gas furnace/hot water heater when I was up there. And when it’s bloody freakin cold…it’d be a strain on even the stoutest system.

I don't remember when we got her. Around my birthday maybe? I still have not registered her in my name.. if I'm correct, that was in April, so ... going on 9 months. But she's a special case, we didn't get her as a puppy and she was not properly socialized at all. Progress is good no matter how long it takes. This is a special-ed community here, lol.

All progress is good

heat wave!

This is my island in the sun (just think of the rats in a muppets Christmas carol hang on I must find it now)

So the chickens went off to their new home last night. I am officially chicken-less and it ducks.

Work is driving me batty but I’ll rant on that one later. Got the house mostly packed - got maybe one last box to go.

Purchasers are doing a final walk through tomorrow.

My OG girls, Sam and Merida…



Ninja edit. H2O I’m with you. Hubs got a new handgun though for fun and protection…I made the suggestion I should go down to the range and take some lessons on it. He seemed a little hurt I didn’t want him to teach me but….

I took an hour and a half walk with the dogs today. 10 degrees with snow and Bowser is puffing and rolling in the snow to cool off.

Captain is the Cur, he’s taking these temperatures better than I thought he would.

Good weather for a long walk.

At one point I think they smelled a muskrat, there’s no way they can get it, but at least they had fun trying.

Now they are relaxing in front of the stove.
