This is my sweet niece, who never held a chicken in her life until now. Ahhh, the joys of snuggling a sweet, fluffy, good-smelling Silkie! (her feet are a little muddy, don't judge, it was rainy here.) She was wonderstruck, and did not want to let her go. :)

OK, so this is totally OT (hahahaha, like what isn't?!) but I am already planning what kind of chicks I will be getting <sneaking past my unknowing husband, lol> for the spring. And I've decided, I MUST have Seramas. I am fascinated by these adorable, petite tiny chickens. Do any of you guys have em? What do you think? I'll prolly get some frizzled Serama eggs from MPC, unless I can score any off BYC. I never hatched eggs, but it sounds like fun (and I have Silkies who may be willing to sit in some eggs).

I can't WAIT till spring.....

Shipped Serama eggs are notoriously difficult to hatch. I know Granny has them on the Granny thread.

Good day, my wonderful Squatchy Peeps! I'm baaaaccckk!

I survived Thanksgiving with the Fockers! :)

Some highlights from the day:

I cooked a crapload of food. Turkey and ham (even though I don't eat meat, I still know how to cook it) and a ton of other stuff. Roasted brussels, garlic roasted smashed redskins, stuffing, biscuits, smashed turnips, deviled eggs, spinach dip etc.....yum. Beeyatch knows how to throw a party!

My mom--who is disabled and has a pill problem--rolled up in her jazzy with my sis and her clan from Delaware, with three burnt-to-a-crisp pies. Cuz she fell asleep on the toilet while baking them. I shizz you not.

My very proper, old lady SIL and MIL stated how MOIST the ham was. Oh my lord, did the conversation degenerate from there. It was a veritable MOISTFEST for probably the next, oh, 20 minutes or so. Lol!! My fam is tres inappropriate, and the hubs' is very old, old-school Italian. Much hilarity ensued.

I brought a chicken in the house. My family (who are all staunch animal lovers) had no idea of the coolness and excellence of pet chickens. I schooled them. I brought in Flower, my MFD, and my niece and my mom could not stop cuddling her. They couldn't believe how sweet and docile and content she was to sit in their laps, making her sweet little chickeny noises. The MIL and SIL looked a little horrified, but oh well!

We put a lock on our bedroom door so my one sister's weird ass BF wouldn't pass out on our nice bed with his stanky feet and greazy homeless self, like he did last time. He came, he stuffed himself with ten pounds of food, never said hi or bye or thank you or that was good, and passed out with his stanky feet on the couch. Me and my other sister (who is evil) took stealth pictures of him and made snarky memes out of them.

My nephews got a kick out of feeding the chooks lots of leftovers in their runs. It was their first Thanksgiving! It was great watching them play keep away with pieces of turkey (which struck me as a mite bit cannabalistic, but oh well!)

It was a lot of cooking and alot of cleaning and a lot of furniture rearranging, but it was worth it. A good time was had by all!

And I have pictures. :D

Who's Granny? And what thread? Does she sell eggs?
 
I went out and built a cover for the window box , and painted it. Will staple hardware cloth on once it dries. I need to water the seed so it grows.
Gave my bunnies apple core treats and fed my chickens and guineas. The fire decided to burn some more but i could not make myself drag more logs over there.
I might drive to Rocky Mount later. Need some stuff at Lowes.
What is everyone up to today?
