AGH! What a windy day!

I am so going to be in trouble. I slept thru my alarm this morning, didn't make it on a good time to get to work, so I went, got my stuff, and went home. Called in the they were going to be late... Kiss my butt. Fire me... I don't care right now. My head is killing me. My kidneys are killing me. My knees feeling like I put them in a vice and I am so dam tired right now... BUT, I need to clean the duck coop... Ah, hell, I am going to throw a layer of chips in, and do it tomorrow. They'll survive on more day.

Olive... Are you going to be ok not having chickenses all over the place? I don't know if I could do that. I get a kick out of them little suckers. LOL And the roosters sure are tastey. LOL.

I gotta go bake a potato for my momo. She doesn't remember how to cook them in the nuker.

It's probably been 7 years or so since I have played paintball. Maybe we should have a BYC Michigan tourny... we can throw the chickens in as decoys.
 
SOOOOOoooooo... Chicken coop construction has begun today!!!!!
Got the basic frame down!!!
Got the hardware cloth at Home Depot for free $66.00 worth... The lady at the register couldn't find the tag or it in the computer. My BF even went and took a picture of the sales tag... she goes "Eh, for all your trouble... just take it. Don't try to return it!"
I couldn't believe it!!!

I am soooo excited!!!
Won't have chicks until after Memorial Day though...
Oh, almost forgot... I am making kelbasa and sauerkraut, baked red skinned potatoes (olive oil, basalmic vinegar, and itailian seasoning), and oven baked corn (in the husk)!!!!!
Who is coming over?

It's always nice to meet a BYC'er. Especially when you have the opportunity to stuff their vehicle full of fowl and send them on their way.

Seriously though, I am now, officially, fowl free. Eeyore just left here with the last of our geese, ducks and turkeys and it was great having the opportunity to meet her. We literally stuffed her truck full of them and she's on her way home. It'll be weird stepping outside to an empty yard for the next few days, but it's nice to have another thing off the to-do list.

HA!

It was great meeting you and your family, too! Those small people are REALLY useful, I might have to think about getting one. The best though, I think (and there were a lot of best parts) was me looking in my truck bed with all the bins already in there and knowing we still had to insert 7 geese and a duck that thinks it's a goose. I ask your husband if they're going to fit and he casually says:

"Oh yeah, they'll pack."

Sorry about all the pics but I can't resist.

Needless to say we all got home safe. The Scovies really aren't sure of things:



But the geese got out and about right away like they owned the place:


The turkeys seem happy enough, if a little confused:



The scovies really aren't sure about this (seriously, this was 15 minutes later):



Ahh but a little food helps (actually I ended up just dumping them out of that container. Cowards.):




But the geese are really enjoying things:

We actually do have a handful of laying hens left and one BA rooster. Nothing compared to what we have had though, probably won't even notice they're here. I think there's only 7 of them left. And no other fowl of any kind. Honestly, I'd be perfectly fine without chickens though. I may or may not replace these as they kick the bucket going forward... we'll see. But I'm not sure how I'll do without my geese. I LOVED my geese.

Alas, one woman can only do so much though.
 
Eeyore - They look right at home. I love the picture with Buddy out on the pond with the geese. He's going to be in heaven with all that water on which to chase his goosey girlfriend around.

Those poor Scovies had a much more eventful morning than the rest so maybe they'll just take a bit more to settle in.
