Sam is on facebook. He's doing well. Went fishing a couple of times. Very opinionated on the elections. I stay away from talking about politics. I've seen friendships break up over a difference of opinion. Granny is in a senior care home now. Sam doesn't think she'll be coming home. But, she seems happy there.

Thanks for the update on Sam and granny. I'm not doing facebook, so had no idea.

Got most of the outdoor chores done today. Let it rip.

Same here....just got the van into the garage, there was a lot of stuff in the way.
Have a funky old metal shed, got the doors to completely and easily close for the first time in years by vacuuming out the track.

I still have young girl ducks left to sell.
I've had a heck of a time selling female muscovy over here by Detroit.

I wanted to sell some OE pullets last week, thought they'd get scooped up...but nope.
I think folks are hesitant to add to flocks at this time of year, and rightly so.
At least I got the old hens in the freezer, can live with the numbers in the coop over winter.

Oh. Sam needs to have surgery soon. He has an abdominal aortic aneuysm. So, he's not the best and keep him in your prayers.

Funny how everyone seemed to have to deal with hoses. I know I did. The Devil Dog puppy "helped". He dragged a 100' hose clear across the yard and down the driveway. Difficult to do chores with the "help" I get around here. At least all of the water got drained out of it. I'll put it away tomorrow.

I need to drill some post holes for the run but at least the coop is secure and ready for winter. The chicks are still in the brooder area and will be fine in the coop for the winter even if I don't get the run fenced. They are about 2 months old now.

I worked today so nothing was done around here. I'll have to get busy tomorrow before the snow and rain hit. 50% chance of accumulation by afternoon.

I wish I was closer to the people with pullets and ducks available. Now that I'm completely moved, I no longer want to drive anywhere further than a half hour. But if you want to bring your extra birds here I can accept them.

What is Sam's facebook handle?

I have a few more birds than I like to overwinter, but don't want to put any in the freezer, or spend time at the auction in December!
