These ladies do an annual in Oregon and then sell the meat. They get dressed up and help new comers to the deed. It inspires me lol but it'll be jeans and tank tops here I am so not girly :/ but theu really are cute and had a blast.
These hens DO NOT PLAY if the cats get anywhere near them! Hahaha!!! The poor kitties don't even have to be doing anything but stand too close. The charge is always led by this red sex link hen. She will chase them off from the time she was young. It always cracks us up......even though we love our kitties!
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother.Hi all! It's been so long since I've made it on here to say hello. School started back in August and then my 35 year old little brother passed away in September. Things have been wayyyyyy to topsy turvy this year. Nothing seems to have gone right.
If anyone is near me and is looking for males of any specific breed I will be glad to talk to you...I have two partridge bantam cochins, one black frizzle bantam, three swedish flowers, and one rir. I also have a young pair of lavender orpingtons to go.
I'm not incubating anything else until late November/December.
My daughter is doing well and is 29 weeks!! I can't believe it will only be 11 more weeks until I'm a grandma! When did I get this old?
I scrolled through a few pages trying to catch up with everyone. Lots of great stories.

Those are ssssooooooo pretty! The whipped cream looks real!I haven't purchased soap at the store in 1 1/2 years. We have SO much soap!!! If you get the basic safety knowledge down and figure out the soap calculator then you will be off and running! I make our own lip balm and laundry soap. There are a couple of different ways to do the laundry soap. Its cheaper and I love that we can customize a batch of soap how we want it. Here is a random picture of one of the soaps that I made. It has banana, whipping cream, essential oils for scent and vanilla bean seeds. This pic is kind of washed out a bit by the flash.
Most people don't care how they spend money they don't work for or what comes easily! I, too, was wiped out with Katrina, in St Bernard, an medically 100% disabled and on a very low fixed income, but do not get or ask for food stamps! I grow what we eat and if we can't afford something, we do without, but I am against putting our grand children in debt to pay for things we can do without or non-essentials! Don't get me wrong, we all need a hand up, at one time or another, but it is still CHARITY, not ENTITLEMENT ! There is entirely too much waste and too much big government spending, with the crunch on businesses, that is causing our people to be unemployed. And don't get me started on the illegal immigrants who are being given more rights than our citizens! What part of "ILLEGAL" don't our politicians understand? I came up very poor, and it is not a sin to be poor, but it is a sin to stay that way because of laziness. Everyone has a chance, in this country, to have the American Dream, if we are willing to get out and work for it, honestly. By increasing our skills, we achieve a higher standard of living, but not for flipping hamburgers! IMHOOver in Simmesport they only have one grocery store there Wiggly Piggly the town is a predominantly FS and welfare assisted as it is full of Katrina N.O. refugees. Anyway that store is sky high on prices I don't remember there ever being a sale there(they do have a points system but thats a lure/baiting is all) LOL you can drive 20 miles to Marksville and get twice the groceries for the same amount of cash, you know there is place in HELL for folks that take advantage(feed off the poor and desolate) of that system like that but too I think most of the FS recipients should/could GET A JOB too.

We have 2 old tomcats, too and they sometimes get run off the porch by the turkeys, but we call the 3 Brown African Geese, the Hoffer Team, because they control the fowl unions !

X3, I lost my second to youngest brother, suddenly, about 10 months ago, too. It seams wrong for the younger ones to go home first, but we will all be reunited soon. We feel the pain of their absence, but they are back home, waiting for us to return, too, when it is our turn! Rejoice in the fact that no one has ever died. They have just returned to Our Heavenly Father, sooner!
