Yeah it is the beginning of our hawk season everybody that does not know the migrations patterns for our area of the willd wild world, LOL from now till way up into the spring this their hangout so be wary. I just had a HUGE Redtail here the other day he had everything in an uproar(believe me those get quite loud around this place lots of lungs here) thank goodness I have trained dogs that will run them off if they get the message first before the sneaky SOB come in for bombdive.

Great, I didn't know this. One more thing to watch out for!! It makes sense, but this is my first winter with chickens and I hadn't thought about it. Their run is completely wired, but I'll have to watch out when they are ranging.

I'm getting scared! It really does seem like "chicken math" starts to carry over to the other animals!!

That's the last thing my feed bill needs!

My 12 yr old cleans the stalls for service hours. He takes the money he earns (calculates the hours) and donates the money. Usually to the local group that does care packages for the military.

What a great thing to do.

All you guys probably know this. I read on another thread that if you think it is actually too cold for your chickens, you can go outside and slip your fingers between the feathers and if it's warm down in there, they're fine, that it should be warm. I think he was from Maine, but if we get weather in the teens, I will probably test a couple.

I will try that.

                             My Grandmothers Pumpkin bread Recipe
3 cups sugar
31/2 cup sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. nut meg
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs beaten ( fresh eggs)
2/3 cup water
2 cups pumpkin
1/2 chopped pecans or walnuts
sift together all dry ingredients  make a well add remaining  ingredients
mix until smooth pour into greased

I don't have pumpkins, this year, but lots of huge sweet tators. Will they work, like they do in pies, as a substitute?

I was thinking the same thing as far as substituting with sweet tators. I have pumpkin as well but tators would be a good experiment.

Good morning peeps. It's nippy outside. If anyone is going out this morning and you drive by a Rac Trac store, stop in and get a free cup of coffe or hot chocolate. They have been giving it out for free all week until this Saturday. I get a free cup in the morning on the way to work and after work.


Stay warm Layers and get that gumbo cooking.

Last year, on our 5 hour round trip to my brother's house the Saturday before Christmas, we stopped at a Race Track for gas and coffee and I was wondering why so many cop cars were parked there! I went in to pay for the gas and get the coffee, and saw a sign " Free coffee, Have a safe and happy holiday season"!  Well, when I got our BIG coffees and went to pay for them, the clerk said "no charge" and have a Merry Christmas! I said "What, I have the large one, because we have a ways yet to go and it's cold out", The clerk repeated "no charge" again. I couldn't believe anyone gave away free coffee anymore? But they did!

I had the Almond Joy hot chocolate this morning. I think I"ll try the peppermint hot chocolate after I get off from work.

Oh YUM!! Anything Almond Joy is good! Have you ever tried those little individual Almond Joy creamers? I've gotten them at Walmart before.

They are a nice treat to "spice up" coffee. There's also peppermint, heath bar, etc. I haven't found a "bad" one yet!
