Michigan

[gallinamama]

Good morning to you all too. looks like a beautiful day in Michigan. Frustration.... Coop still not finished... and I don't know how I will. My son is going to help me.. but I am the type... it has to be done now...

I need to calm down a bit... things will work out. I just hope the chickens hold off on laying their first egg until I can get the coop finished inside for winter. Wish I had some support from the hubby... Oh well,

Got to get started this morning... shower... then chores. Good day all!!

Doesn't John Blehm bring chickens to Fowlfest? I wish beyond wishes that I could squeeze a few of his birds into the coop without my husband noticing (until he saw the blue eggs!)

I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful sunny day as we move into the cooler days of Fall and, for me, WORK.

kids return to school countdown is on!

I went to Fowlfest in Frankenmuth last year with my daughter and 2 grandchildren from Royal Oak . Salem in a stroller 1 & Ani was just 4 - LOVED it So many absolutely great birds!. She wanted Nana to get them all for her

I would have like to do that but decided my marriage would be in danger

I want my grandchildren from A2 to go this year .. Riley & KD have named half of my chickens Well... KD names everything " Bob" hence 2 chickens named Bob. Bobone ( Italian) and Two Bob. I will try to make it this year too. The people there are so nice and knowledgeable ! Oct 9th& 10th this year isn't it? This year I am bringing a carrier ... just in case because there are so many fancy birds

What day should I be there to buy them...the first day? or Sunday?

I would be there no later than 9am on Saturday morning if I wanted to get birds. Go thru the entrance all the way to the back on the left side. Don't waste time looking at the show birds until you've looked at what is for sale.

Got up at 5am and nuked some cold coffee. Read several of the posts on other threads, nuked a second cup. Worked the crossword puzzle and decided that I need to go brew a fresh pot. Microwaved coffee just doesn't cut it.

Now that's more like it. Anyone need a cup?

My chicken coops and runs are starting to look like a pillow exploded. The girls are all starting to undergo a molt and the last two or three days their egg production has dropped off. I've gotten 10 eggs per day for several days now. All of this years birds are now 20 weeks so sometime in the next month or two they should start.

Good morning all, Opa and Brianna are sure right... the coffee does taste especially good this morning... I always get the last two cups from the pot I make for my hubbys thermos... It is suppose to be hot again next week... I don't know about you all but I do not like 90 degrees... but I guess I won't be saying that in January!

Good Morning Everyone!!

I hope you all have a great day- and if you know anyone who has female muscovies for sale, please let me know. I am looking for two.
