Would anyone be interested in a free meal? One of our younger roosters has been terrorizing the girls and other Roos and has the most obnoxious crow, I just can't stand him anymore...

happy belated birthday, sheryl, ron and kim!!!!

thanks for all the nice comments on the cakes, guys. I enjoy doing it for my kids.

well, I'm still sick and it's been 3 weeks and 2 days. 2 weeks of a hard core cold. then 1 day of feeling good, then on to feeling bad again. for the last 4 days i've had a really painful constant sore throat on the right side as well as ear pain on the right. my sinuses are not too bad but there is still a little pain and pressure. debating whether I need to go in to the dr. Now the kids have gotten colds again. the downside of winter.

Elizabeth those cakes look yum yum yummy! I'm gonna have to hire you to make a flamingo wedding cake!

and, i agree with Sunny, I'm pretty sure you said you weren't having cake. my friends' former hippie parents went to a wedding years ago that was byoc (bring your own cake) and everyone brought a cake and they put them all into a big pile.

Oh yeah... 25 eggs today, new record! Woohoo! We have 29 chickens/ducks, not counting the 2 drakes.

that is a very high egg to bird ratio especially for january!

I haven't been on in a while with everything going on and trying to keep up is exhausting.
Anyway I just wanted to share that we got our first eggs from our (not so baby anymore) girls.

I have no idea which one(s) lay ed them but they were the cutest little eggs I have ever seen. I'm sure they will get bigger as the hens mature more otherwise we will need lots more eggs since these were a bit larger than an inch.
I'm not complaining though as I am really excited. I have a nest set up in there but they are not using it they just lay ed them where ever. Will they learn to use the nest or should I find a way to teach them???

yay for eggs! they will get the hang of it but as others have said decoys are helpful at the beginning.

That's a lot of eggs. hmmm I might need more chickens.

yes, yes, I agree and will enable you in your quest for more...
