Just checking in...All of the feather friends are doing well. Thankful that we live on a back road and everyone tends to slow down as the drive past. The silly chickens can't seem to stay on our side of the road.
Found out that my roosters start crowing at about 3:45AM!! We can't hear them from the bedrooms and last night I slept out in a tent with my kids and I was woken up when they started crowing. They would quiet down then a little while later they would start up again. Needless to say I didn't sleep well...that and my kids were a little scared and both snuggled me so tight it was a little on the uncomfortable side. I loved every minute of it!
Getting ready for the fair. Will be cooking breakfast every morning so if you come to the fair before 11 come visit me at the "Ox Roast" food building at the corner of the poultry building and the coliseum. I cook more pancakes and french toast during the run of the fair then probably what we all eat over a year. I got asked if I wanted to do the eggs this year, but passed. First I like cooking the pancakes and second I can't make over easy without breaking the yolks. Last year I filled in during my Mom's potty break (she usually does the eggs) and I think I broke 5 eggs in a row..I'll stick to the pancakes..that and I get to be next to the window and it is cooler there
I also got asked to be one of the judges for the 4H poultry show. They won't have live birds, just pictures I'm being told. I won't actually be judging any birds, just the kids..But it is an honor to be able to do that..So I will get a break Friday from pancakes to do that.
