NY chicken lover!!!!

Evening all. Bill signed his termination papers today by way of ambushing me twice while I was busy and my hands were full. He did get my ankle with his spur. Cleaned it good and put some antibiotic ointment on it. He will be in the crock pot in a day or so. I have way too many replacements to put up with that crap. I am still mad and its been a few hours!

I stopped at the feed store to get some non gmo broiler feed for the cheeps but they were out. However, he did have some happy hen treats there that he was pricing. They werent cheap but I splurged and bought a bag. Gave some to the brats first. One of the little girls grabbed the mealworm from my fingers and ate it so then the race was on for what I was throwing into their run! I gave some to the little monsters inside the coop and a few of them caught on right away. Of course my darling silkies all got some and lastly the terrorists. They followed me all around while I was giving everyone some. They werent pushy like they normally are but boy did they like those mealworms. Of course the jerk ruined my perfect evening with his crap. I didnt overdo it and still have most of the bag left. They will continue to get some treats daily to up their protein intake.

So looking forward to meeting everyone this weekend. I need to get away, even if its only a day.

Aria---congrats on the babies! Love having silkie babies!
Rancher--my thoughts are with you and DW. She will get through this like a champ. We women are quite resilient you know. Thats why we have babies and you dont! lol

Yep - tea cup for food - I was feeling girlie .... :)

the black ones are from my backyard flock - a mix of nice heritage breeds, marans, welsummer, favorelle :) You can tell the BCM roo put his color stamp on them!

the others are pullets from a hatchery - all supposed to be speckled sussex - but I think one is a partridge rock now that she is feathering out.
 
Morning all. Another nice day in the making. Too bad I have to waste it inside but someone has to earn the cheep feed. Game cam is up since the bear passed by night before last. Havent checked yet this year to see whos visiting or if anyone is visiting. Im sure Im on there in my nightgown letting the cheeps out and if any of those pictures ever show up on here DH will be a dead man.

Thoughts and prayers to Rancher and his wife as she has surgery today.

Everyone else enjoy the day.
 
My DH and I have been building small coops for our new birds. Can't wait to get them all! This week is going by so slow. Its going to be fun putting faces with names.

Can you post pics of your coops? If love to see- I've been scouring through plans and pictures to find the perfect small coop :)
 
My heart and prayers are with you through the fear, loss of hope, and finding the strength to rebuild. You do have the strength to make it through this friends strangers will be there to help.

We live down in Potter, not so near the worst of the damage, but our neighbor tried to get to work in Branchport & the road is closed. The Town Barn, all of it's contents - are across the road in a field! The storm seemed never ending last night, very slow moving, apparently it dropped 3 1/2 inches in just about 6 hours. I'm waiting for emergency call out to help in the shelter....
