Illinois...

Hi y'all!!! I'm joining this thread right away. I'm from Morrison, IL. I have 17 chickens as of now. 2 GLW, hen and rooster, 2 PBR, hen and rooster, 2 Asian Black, 4 Delaware, 3 Golden Comet, 3 Midnight Majasty Marans, and 1 Sapphire Olive Egger.
Welcome to the thread. I have 4 gold comets, 1 just went broody.
 
Welcome, Lydia. I drive through Morrison on my way to get my meat bird chicks in Iowa. Love those huge old mansions.
It looks like you have a nice variety. Do you plan on breeding your pairs of GLW and PBRs?
Yes I do, well, they decided that themselves lol. My dad ordered me an incubator so I'll try hatching them out.
 
I've got me a new egg layer!

Pippins daughter!
Bella should also be any day!
 
Next year I think I will plant day lilies instead so I don't have to replant every year. They were expensive though at $7.98 for one plant.

Catch you all later!

Are you still planning on daylilies for your drive? Many of mine are blooming now and I will get pictures if you let me know what color(s) you have in mind. Also, is height a factor? Some are 3+ feet tall.

Welcome to Illinois thread! :jumpy
 
OK. This is not chicken related but I have to share our morning....

Today's our 23rd wedding anniversary. Nothing planned since DH can't take the heat and all the indoor date activities make us nervous with covid on the rise again.

SO...... our kids decided to make us breakfast. The disaster kitchen was another part of the gift but that's a whole different story.

DS made us eggs over not so easy with fresh cut chives. Not pretty but tasted great. He also gave us each a handful of almonds on our plates - because he likes almonds. DD made a plate of fruit - raspberries from the backyard and apple slices. The meal combo was a bit odd and looked terrible, but all yummy. And here's the best part. DD wanted to make it a romantic date, and adults drink wine on dates, right? However, we're not big drinkers and don't have any wine. She found an old wine cooler in the fridge from New Year Eve's and poured it into fancy glasses - for our breakfast. I thought it was Gatorade and got a big surprise. LOL I suppose it could have been worse. We also had a bottle of beer in the fridge. :lau

Life with kids is always interesting.
