Hello all

got all of 2013 entered and balanced today. Just 2014 left and then the cash receipts for 2012 thru this October.

Sounds like good progress! Also sounds like plenty of tedium left.,

how in god's name did you get a pug mix that tall??   Me thinks momma was a horny lady and laid down for the pug 

that's what I was thinking.

Do you have a roo? Mine don't. They all are lookin for love in all the wrong places.

Uh Oh, not good unless your wanting a roo.

Yeah I really don't want one. If I whined up with more then one roo out of those four and the ones my broody is on, I'm going to try to cull if I don't get to attached. If the kids aren't here. I've already explained this to them. They don't want me too of course but they said if I did, they don't want to be home at the time. I'm sure they'll be more then one roo out of fourteen birds.

If you have my luck with roo's, then h*ll ya you will have some roo's. I was getting about 60% roo's out of my hatches this year. Sold my sister-in-law 6 chicks, 4 of them turned out to be roo's. Felt so guilty about it that I gave her 2-15 wk old hens that were close to laying & have had to try to find homes for her roo's argh.... Got 2 rehomed & a 3rd roo will be coming this weekend.

red general rule of thumb is about 50/50 roos /hens

That one ended up with beagle legs. My daughters puggle is all puggle face & body, but a definate ringer for the Beagle appetite & hunting skills. That darn dog dug in a snow bank her first winter & came up with a frozen frog. In the summer she hunts night crawlers. She will go crazy sniffing & then she starts to dig. Next minute she got a worm. Crazy dog!

Cute dogs Mutt, is that you in the bottom picture?

Nope. Not me. I'd be half again her age, heavier, blonde with lots of wrinkles.

My new motto, don't sell chicks to family members Wish I had someone to rehome the extra roo's I have hatch. Me thinks there is something wrong with this picture
