"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[LemonMeringue]

Well, I bumped my order of chickens up a little today. I ordered from Meyer. I'm getting 2 Male ea of Delaware, and White Rock and 5 ea Female. I cancelled the 8 frypan special that a had added to fill it out and ordered 6 pullet Golden Comet. This way I'll start getting eggs a lot sooner. It put off my schedule a wk to March 27. That's ok and I feel a lot better about it.

Linda, you are going to have SO much fun with those babies!

You are really good friends. My sister and nephew are doing what they can to persuade me not to move. My sister more then her son. "We will never see you again", "we will not come to see you, ever", "you will end up a bag lady living on the streets", "do not expect me to help you, you will not get anything (my Trust, she is the Trustee).", "you will be all alone, no one will be there for you." And on and on. She is family so I expected this. She had visions of her moving down here from Vegas, and we being closes, going shopping or what ever. As it is my brother lives in both Minneapolis and Las Vegas, I have a niece in San Diego, and one Palm Springs, my nephew used to live in NYC. I have a daughter that wants to move back north. God love her, I am touched she wants to keep me here.

What I know is, friends are better then family in a lot of ways. It will be up to me, if I am a good friend I will have good friends, become active in the community, and give of my self. I have great faith, and trust in my faith. Were I am now, there is no community, I have friends that are scattered across Arizona, not a community. I need also a community were I share basic interests as well. From what I have gleaned, music, cooking, chicken, farming, the land, and sense of community and what it means to be a friend, I have found it. And my sister will still be there and we will still love each other, and see each other ever so often.

you tell your sister "that road runs both ways" -- that's what I told my inlaws in Wisconsin-- after spending 35 years of MY vacation running up there & never did they see fit to come visit us -- guess what - that road runs both ways -- you want to see us? spend your vacation that you spent going to Hawaii, California, Alaska, whatever. I'm not wasting anymore of mine for sure!

do what your heart says to do. The rest will follow.

For the record: my dearest, closest friends live in New York, California, and Canada. We get together about once or twice a year. We are sisters in spirit. I couldn't ask for any better friends.

My closest life long friend lives in SC. I remember when I moved to Knoxville. I just wanted to live in the mountains and experience milder summers. When I got there and moved in I went down to the local Kroger. As I was shopping I suddenly was overwhelmed that I was living in a new zip code, new area code, new state, new city, new part of the country and no matter how long I shopped at Kroger I would not see anyone I know. I had no family, no friends and no church. I panicked for a brief moment then happily started planned my first mountain hike. I joined the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club, found a great church, found my dream job and my dream house. That ended up being the best decade of my life. I sure am glad I went.

I want one of mine to go broody soo bad.

How big do bantams get? I bought that one with the Wyandottes the Wyandottes are almost full grown. The bantam grew a little then stopped she has long legs for her size which is small. She looks like a large chic . She is a really sweet bird. Ron thinks she might take care of the chicks I may see how she takes to the after the mobile vet. Sees the dogs for their yearly exams.
Still no squirrels on my twirler.. Pam

My Bannies get 1/2 the size of a regular chicken. Those suckers eat fleas! I love ours, though we have never had a very friendly one. Mainly cause the oldest han went wild, roosts outside, so the babes followed suit. But we have enjoyed them so much. So small and dainty. Precious.

Seems Like your sister loves and will miss you. She could use a corse in communication. Hopefully she won't use material things or emotions to control you. Unconditional love is still loveing someone whatever they choose to do with there life. Terri is right they can visit and you can too. Some friends are more family then your birth family. Hopefully your sister will stop being ridged when she see's your happy. One thing I have learned in life is things can change in a second. Your sister may be the one who ends up needing help. I hope this never happenes. Life is too short to be unhappy.You are so rite that when your a good friend you get good freinds etc. You will be fine in whatever you choose to do .hopfully she will come around.. Pam

My Bannies get 1/2 the size of a regular chicken.  Those suckers eat fleas!  I love ours, though we have never had a very friendly one.  Mainly cause the oldest han went wild, roosts outside, so the babes followed suit.  But we have enjoyed them so much.  So small and dainty.  Precious.

I'll take a pic tommorrow she is smaller then 1/2 the size. she is 4 to 5 months still some growing. She still seems small tho.

Hey folks, my friend (and bigger bird addict than me!) asked if I could help her find new homes for two royal palm Tom turkeys. She'd like to get about $25 each for them. They are just coming to breeding age and she has too many toms. If she doesn't sell them they'll have tho to freezer camp and shed rather not do that. They are pretty sweet(follows her like a dog) but they are tearing up the few hens has. If anyone is interested her email is...Joyce. zmek@gmail. com (take out the spaces)

Here is a pic of the boys...
