Batty, I have written most of my article for your blog (about showing chickens), but am having a hard time finishing due to people walking in and needing something every time I start to get rolling good. Should I e-mail it to you when I'm done? Which version of Word do you have, so that I don't send somthing incompatible?
I culled a few boys this weekend and they are planted under oak trees. I still have too many, but these are more 'perfect' specimens of d'Uccle and might live to be sold in May (worthy of breeding, in other words). I have an outrageous amount of chicks at the moment, a number that staggers even me. DH does not know the grand total, and when he starts to ask I remind him that I culled and ask if he wants to plant more trees....
I hate culling, too.
BTW, I dreamed about kittens last night. I'm glad, since the other 2 dreams I remember involved death. I'll take kitten dreams ANY night over the other kind....
Ummm I think it's XP.
And I got to cull too. I'm thinking in the morning tomorrow when I'm rested for it. I have a bunch of boys and I need room for all the chicks to grow out. I don't know about planting them...maybe adding them to the compost pile for next year? Some are at least big enough for the freezer.
Cool. I'll send it to you soon, and we'll see if you can open it from the home 'puter. If not, I'll copy into an e-mail.
None of my chicks really gets big enough to eat.
I wouldn't put them into the compost, lest you invite scavengers to 'stir' the pile and give them a taste for more chickens....
