Good afternoon everyone! Thought I'd take a break from cleaning coops and say hi t all my Besties! Lol.
Been reading everyone's plans for next year. You all are so ambitious! My plans for next year is to keep on keeping on!
I want t be rid of the seven Comet/queen sexlinks I've got. They are just too aggressive for my taste. I want to add a White crested black polish roo, my girls are lonesome! Hoping to breed a few nice Silkies to get some fluffy butts. I'll keep what I've got now but have some acquaintances here that want some. Would like to just keep the other girls I've got now happy and healthy! I have two Americauna girls that are older, they probably won't make it through th winter (if we have another hard one this year) they had a hard time last year! Wanting to add a frost free water line out by the coops so I don't have t carry water quite so far this winter. Hoping to build a decent duck pond next Spring.
Going t be changing the garden plot some next year to make it easier only back and legs. Well that's my plans. Pretty boring compared to all of you. Oh one other thing- I plan on spending a week camping in Indiana next year...for Chickenfest 2015...hoping maybe one or two of my friends can splurge with some time off to join me! (Hint hint hint) lol. Ok gotta get my babies rooms cleaned up! Ttyl (we are feeling just "ducky" 'round here)
ETA: this is Darcy, Dingo and Waddles. Darcy n Dingo were supposed t b girls. Turns out I've got TWO Khaki Cambell Drakes! Darn Tractor Supply!!!!
I think about wanting a drake every now and then but I really don't need a drake. I like being able to have my ducks teach the chicks how to free range and a drake can be mean to hens. Not all drakes but many.
As for a week of camping, I think we should all pack up and head your way this coming year. If all of us chipped in, I'm sure we could find an old bus, paint some chickens and flowers on it. Just picture it now 20-40 of us Indiana Chicken people headed your way in either a bus or caravan. It could be a history lesson for those of us that missed the 60's. And the BEST part we can make it a surprise for your DH. I'm sure he would love to host the 2015 chicken fest with little to no notice
Just kidding around but it would be fun to travel your way.
