Yes it is beautiful here, I live in the country so I really appreciate it, especially in the fall. The colors are so beautiful.
I will be eating instant ramen for lunch. At least I have a very understanding DH.

Well the reason people eat more this time of the year, is that all the new shows are on TV and when the commercials come on, they go and get snacks, Oh thats ME...

Gee guys i hope everyone starts to feel better,
nothing is worse then feeling like your going to throw up.
and ear aches, My left ear, keeps feeling someone is stabbing me with a screw driver in it,

I'm sending get well

Well my 2 Rouen x Magpies are laying, i have 6 eggs in the duck coop, in a nice little round nest, with no one setting on them, I dont know if i should just leave them or take them out?

Afternoon all!! Ijust caught up onthe posts... miss a week and whew!! Hope all are feeling better. My kindergartener came home with a bug the second day of school, LOL Poor kid, welcome to school

I had a week off, ya woulda thought I would have gotten a few things done!! We did get coops moved and have started working on a pen. Lost one of my boys to a hawk

at least it wasnt one I wanted to keep. Our first predator loss, fingers crossed we dont have more!

The beef stew sounds excellent!! Wish I would have thought of that before starting work for the week (I work nights, no home dinner for me )

Anywaya, just wanted to say hello

Also looking for a processor in the lapeer area. Chickens and rabbits. Closest I found was Crosswell. If ya'll know of any by all means let me know!! Or if ya have facilities and are willing to help out a noob that would be awesome!! right now I have 2 rabbits ready and 3 or 4 chickens

I can help you out with a processor not too far from us. I'm in the Lapeer area also. Actually thinking about dropping off a few birds there this weekend because I have too many roos and they are torturing my girls and fighting. I can PM you if you'd like.

Good afternoon. Now I have a Buff Orp that is broody too. My husband was trying to collect yesterday and asked do hens always growl at you? I was like no you must be special. Then last night at lock up time 1 BO was missing. Nope not missing just still in the nest box next to the broody silkie.

Welcome Raz.

I don't know if they process rabbits, but there is a place a little north of Caro called Westover Wild Wings or something similar, they are located on Gilford road. If you called the MSU extension office up in Caro they may have the number, as they had it posted in the poultry barn during fair. That is where we took the market chickens and turkey that my DD raised for the fair and auction this year.

I live in Holland, Mi ...I just got chickens this spring. I only have six that were suppose to be hens but got 2 roo's. All different kinds. I want to go to the big poultry show in Ohio on Nov.14, 15 so I can buy more My hubbie thinks I am nuts to want to go that; he is losing me to the chicken world!!! I am also a breeder of Bernese Mt. Dogs (one litter a year) I horse back ride all over Mi. with my hubbie and my kids. We have gaited horses. The farm next to us is for sale house and 37 acres. Someone with critters come buy it so we can visit!

Not looking forward to winter..I have to get my chicken coop ready for the big chill!
