When we talked about Elvis before, I thought you were talking about a chicken

hello! I've been busy busy and didn't even get on my computer today until now. I have items in the big children's consignment event at the reno livestock event center this weekend. I prepped and tagged a bunch of stuff for that this week. a lot of work but pretty good return for it. better than a garage sale, anyway. My mom prepped a bunch of clothes when she was here this summer so that helped me out a lot.

So after selling 7 chickens, the noise really does seem to be reduced quite a bit. of course I may be biased

. I have 2 broody pullets--the buff x wheaten am and the BLRW. They are pretty funny when I collect the eggs. I can tell they are inexperienced, though, since they didn't pluck all their belly feathers like the big girl broodies did.

well, time to decompress a bit from the busy week. tomorrow a.m. we have a soccer game followed immediately by a birthday party at the grand sierra resort. that reminds me, I need to find the birthday present I bought.
Any other fans of The Walking Dead here? I took a forced day off today. Meaning I got so sick it knocked me on my butt and I only got off it long enough to check on the chickens 3 times today. So I lounged on the couch and streamed season 2 of The Walking Dead today. Then went out to feed the chickens. I came out of the garden and closed the gate behind me with a bowl of feed in my hand, then turned around and saw 20 birds milling around hungrily, speaking in moaning chirps. They followed me around the yard, staring up at me and making hungry noises. It's the poultry zombie apocalypse.

Oh shoot, I was hoping you would be captain of the chair movers!!!

I got home from work last night about 11:30 and as usual Mille needed to go out. While we were in the backyard I heard the noise of a raccoon. I told Mille to go back in the house and she did. I stayed outside watching for them. There was one in the willow tree and another one in the garden. I walked towards the garden and the dang thing growled at me. I never got to actually see it because it was so dark so I walked backwards and went back into the house. I figured if it was growling then I don't need to be near it. It made for a long night though. I hate raccoons. I'm very grateful the coop is up to par and ready for them.
oh no! I'm glad you have a good strong coop but I hope they stay away. I don't know if there are any raccoon scaring devices.
*****GASP!!!!!!!!***

Hey guess what! I made breaded chicken patties today from home grown chickens! I also canned the stock that I cooked them in!

The chicken patties were pretty good! Daughter says they need more garlic. It's my first try so I'm pleased with the result. Next time, I'll put in more garlic.
cool! i want to try raising meaties some time.
 
This site is not letting me post, but here goes.

Raccoons are very aggressive. Geez the Bay Area was full of them. You can drive through Oakland and San Leandro in the evening and watch them slide through the drainage systems.

I was in Emeryville a few years ago at my mom's and he laundryroom was where her back door was. There was just a sidewalk and at the time a cyclone fence. The man next door was a sheriff and his hobby was race cars. He had several in his huge backyard. There was a family of raccoons that would walk the streets at night and visit all the yards. They'd destroy my mom's plants if thy were bulbs. My mom lived in a 4-plex and the lady next door feed every cat in a 20 mile radius. Usually at 2:30 am after the bar closed. :) The raccoons looked forward to the cat feeding and no one could get rid of them, because she just wouldn't stop. So I'm washing laundry and I hear this deep growl. I knew what it was, those grumbly masked creatures! I looked out the door and it was dark, but I could see the momma under one of the race cars. She was so mad that I was in that room, cause her babies were having a play date and she was letting me know I had no business being around. Thank GOD for security doors! Anyway, after a couple of minutes, she had gotten on my last nerve, so I looked at her and yelled "B****, I'm on a break from my own kids, why the H*** do you think I want anything to do with yours?!!!" I heard my mom yelling "Kim, what's going on??" and Bill went running in to find out who I was yelling at. I pointed to the eyes shinning from under the car and said "She started it!" We also took Dakotah and Khamaria trick or treating there one year and there were people running scared, cause a momma and her babies were walking onto porches and into yards. They did have nice costumes, but man did they screw up my plains for getting a supply of chocolate. Dakotah eats an occassional KitKat and other than that, he hate the stuff.

Chances are if you heard a growl, those were her babies making the other noises.

OH and I once saw one in Berkeley on 66th that was the size of the GSD I had at the time. Never had seen one that big and haven't since, but I was amazed. It was so grey and slow, I often wonder how old it was and how it lived to be that big and that old in BERKELEY!
