By the way Long Leash on Life at Eubank and Montgomery in ABQ is now selling Scratch and Peck chicken feed in the store now. I have to feed soy free because of my awful allergy.

Thanks for posting that. I order mine through Azure Standard but now I can pick some up if I run out early!

By the way, anyone have eggs in the incubator? I have a few under a broody and only one looks like it is developing well. I'd like to get another chick or 2 and slip it underneath so I won't have a lonely chick. It's due 8/7

Long Leash had only 20lb bags in stock, but Norm said that he could also get 40lb bags.

It's that time of year again.... Balloon Fiesta!
The wind currents brought them directly overhead today.
Fun to sit on the back porch with morning coffee and view all the colors and shapes.








Wave at the pilots! (they're looking to land)


Next-door neighbor had a frontyard visitor.

You're right - the Balloon Fiesta has been awesome this year. I think I stopped counting at 100 balloons overhead this morning!






Our neighbors behind us had a visitor yesterday, too!

Funny thing....

I slept in and my DH woke me up as he was up early today for work: "Balloons are in the air. I wasn't thinking about it and when I looked up they were there, like zombies! Hundreds of them!"


I normally describe the Fiesta as like being inside a snow globe. But I guess we all have our own descriptors. LOL.

Oh boy, a New Mexico thread! Awesome! Hi everyone, I'm new in these here parts.

I live way up in the northern mountains, between Las Vegas, NM and Taos... kind of near a little place called Mora (but Mora is far enough away that I'd really prefer not to walk there... thanks... ). Anyone here near me?

I'll be looking for Faverolles one of these days very soon, if anyone has them. But I will avidly read about your chickens in the meantime. I just wanted to say hi right off the bat.

Hi Zoomie!

Hi back at ya. This thread is kind of slow, but I check on it every so often. Do you have any chickens now?

 

[Zoomie]

Nope, none yet - I literally finished my coop today at 4PM! LOL! I used to raise lots of birds, but haven't had the place for them for about 16 years. Really miss them... I didn't notice but there are threads for cagebirds too, and I will also be getting back into raising canaries. Very thrilled.

I bet Spangled Russian Orlovs are ***stunning*** birds. I'll have to check them out!

Hey zoomie! I live about an hour and a half to the east. I don't have any favorolles but I do have other breeds for sale
