Silly- You have 2 males and 3 females. The 2 mostly white/creamy ones are female Black shoulders, and the green neck and brown body is the IB female, and the messy color one male is the Black shoulder. Have fun with them!

I was off work yesterday so spent the morning with my chickens and the afternoon at the barn with my mini. For me, there is no better therapy than my animals.
The spring shed has begun. Wheel barrel full this time.


She really needed a good brushing.


Half done, and that is not a hay belly. Can't wait for the foal!
Will be her first and my first. Papa is my white mini donkey.

It looks like my son's FRC robotics team will be going to STATE!!!

Long story but it's a double bonus.

My husband was going to go visit his mom in Florida (who rented a condo for a month

I know right?!!) Anyway... she wanted us all to visit for a week but I refused, being the bad guy that I am, because the week she wanted us down there was the week AFTER my kids' spring break. I'm not pulling my kids from school to play on a beach in a retirement community the week after they had a week off. No way! Besides, I don't like Florida much (rather be hiking in Canada) but that's not the point - doesn't matter what I like. DH was sulky. Yeah, I found out that his sister is pulling her kids from school to go. Did I mention I was the bad guy? So I told him he could go on his own and he was fine with that. But he also said that if our son went to state, that he'd stay home and go with him because I can't be in two cities at the same time - because I'm also not pulling my two younger kids from school to go to Ypsi where the state tournament is. So the ranks are up this morning and they're #16 in the state so far. Two more weekends of competitions but very unlikely they'd be bumped down to 65th. It's looking pretty good. My evil plan is working. Mwahahaha!


As a side note, my husband and I are going to be starting up and coaching an FLL team for the elementary this fall. That's First Lego League; FRC is First Robotics Competition. They're the ones that typically get national attention. You may have seen their robots shooting basketballs on television, youtube, etc. They're shooting frisbees this year, anyway... Daunting task but they need an FLL team. There aren't any in the area and we already have a robot kit my kids have been tinkering with. Gotta start 'em engineers young, ya know?

Anyway...

Chicken news. Saturday, I found a chicken nest in the barn wall. Seven eggs, most frozen. I had to get on a stool to see into it, was so high. Lucky they could get out otherwise I'd have dead chickens in the wall. Stinkers. Then this morning I go out and was greeted by a hen and then twelve !!!! Who let them out??? Maybe one of the sheepies was rubbing on the wall (they're itching to get sheared, literally) and loosened the latch. Typically it's so tight I don't bother locking it because even I have trouble getting it to move. I've been known to kick the barrel lock to get it to slide. I did note last night that the wind had blown all the wood chips and straw out of the area and the door and latch were loose. I blame the wind. Anyway, all accounted for and safe.

10 dozen eggs in the fridge and the basket is full on the table. Won't somebody stop and buy eggs? We're eating all we can captain!

Shutting up.
