Do ya think the cops would buy that excuse when I get busted trying to buy liquor?

I've been doing great. Not enjoying this heat, but I'm surviving. It's not my first rodeo...
I suppose I did... but I didn't really expect her to.

LOL

Might be a little off track (imagine that), but here's and update on my last two incubation/hatches. My babies are growing up!

My older chicks will turn 9 weeks old on Wednesday, and they are still growing like weeds. Even though I realize they still have a lot of growing to do, and perhaps I'm being a little partial towards them, but most of them are starting to look really good... at least to me.

Here's one of Sonny's boys who hopped into the little pen I'd set up for the babies. I was worried that he might attack the little ones, but he didn't seem to mind them as long as they didn't crowd his space. There were a couple of light pecks, just to let them know he was in charge... and would be eating their food.

(RC chick in foreground)

Most of the pullets are filling out nicely, and have rich color with nice horn splash on shanks...






C.J. (Champ, Jr.) is looking better all the time... at least to me. He's outpacing (just barely) Sonny, Jr., who is also turning into a handsome young man. C.J. is thick and has nice girth in his back. I can't tell just yet, but I think he'll also have good length as well...





While he doesn't have a perfect comb, and the black ticking in his hackles may be a bit strong, I will definitely be using him in the breeding pen next spring. His only brother is Runt, whom I doubt will make it until spring, so he's pretty much a shoe-in...




I have to be honest... C.J. is my favorite. He's never slow about showing his attachment to me. As soon as I sit down, he's on me. I wonder if it's because he knows he's made it to the top of my list? Or... is this why he made it to the top of my list? Hmm....



Not to be outdone, his sister never misses an opportunity to say "hello"...

they are growing up to be very good looking birds!

Here a new batch of feed with very hot paprika inside !
paprika isnt spicy though??
I prefer money checks (?)
so long as they are not rubber

Not to shabby. Do you use t-posts for your goat fencing? I've probably asked you this before but I can't remember.
getting goats??

As I sit here drinking my first cup of hot coffee in four long days, I am pondering.
Did I really walk into the run, and almost grab that stupid jerk that avoided the cone yesterday?

Do I really get to can a ton of meat today? Meat that will see me through when funds are low, or I just want something quick to make?

I LOVE having fresh meat!

And now that I can fumble through getting it, I am just so darn happy!
I am very happy for you!!!

I heard there was a store that sold all sorts of craft brew beer and had one brand with a hot pepper in each bottle. I couldn't find it, asked the owner, said he carried it, everyone said it didn't taste good, but he can't keep it in stock, sells out quick...Lol.
they also have tequila with jalapenos in it

You decpetaet a girl called Mary?
lau.gif
yes, shes delicious

I guess that's like the worm in the bottle of tequila.
eww mezcal is not tequila

I am going to look up uses for duck meat. If you guys have any suggestions, please tell me.
@attimus you should ask him on his cooking thread
 
Quote: Real close! Candled for the 1st time yesterday; looks like several clears. Wondering if Mr. Tucker is doing the job as well as I'd hoped. I saw movement & veining in a few though, so it's not a totally wasted effort. Broody's camped on 5 more, so I should have several replacement pullets when it's all said and done, which is all I wanted from the start.
