Had a great time Saturday at Chickenfest. Met lots of wonderful people. Took a few pictures.

























The cookies in the last picture were almost to pretty to eat I said almost. Mother2Hens did a wonderful job with the decorations. I also want to thank Mother2Hens and CRSelvey for the great door prizes. Again amazing job. Jchny2000 did a fantastic job getting the facility and making everyone feel welcome. Want to also thank jchny2000 and her DH for coming to our rescue Sunday morning when the pop-up camper we borrowed didn't want to pop back down. And to Minminme who didn't leave me stranded all alone at the park while my BF went to borrow some tools from jchny2000 and her DH.

Oh my, the gifts were too much! and we really enjoyed sitting down and chatting with you guys Saturday night.
There has been so many leave our campground to retire, and that's passed away we hardly know anyone there now.
Was glad to help and Brad (my Brad, DH) even admitted he really had fun too

So this morning I'm dealing with a suddenly blind hen, oor at least terrible depth perception, another hen with an ear infection, and possibly favus. Im hoping its just mites. I planned on cleaning out and sterilizing the coop today, and bathing the hens, and treating for mites, but I caught my boot on the silkies fence, and end o'd oover it. Its been a bit since Ive fallen like that. Couldnt catch myself either since I had a chick in my hands. She is fine. I look like a 10 year old that played to hard a recess. Two lovely skinned up knees. Pretty sure I pulled something too. Grrr. Hopefully this afternoon I will feel like cleaning the coop. Im so sick of this years pests and illnesses. Poor chickies. No matter how much you do for them, there is always something.

I know what you mean. I went out to catch my little old lady Margo to treat my first bumblefoot and noticed her back end was all bloody. She has a prolapsed vent now too!!! I'm trying to treat that, if she pulls through I will still have to treat the bumblefoot. I am pretty tired of sick birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, there it is. The pear harvest of 2014.
Had the makings of a great harvest, but the squirrels must've had babies and needed them more than we did.
Got 3 buckets just like this of pear pieces.
Nothing more on the tree.
RATS!!!

Look like pearls, if you can get a face picture I can tell you the gender. Males do a single syllable call, females do a buck wheat, buck wheat.. 2 syllables. Males tend to be more flock aggressive as they mature. The waddles on the boys are also much larger, almost look too big for their lil heads!

From your description I'd say they're both female, but I'll try to get head pics today! Thanks!

Well there are really great things about having them that out weigh the bad. So we deal with the few problems they get. Doesnt make the bad stuff any less annoying though .
