Cloudy and glum outside here.
We are forecast for light snow this evening and then the weekend.

Delilah is a bit under the weather for no reason. :barnie

Icky icky icky runny poo and not a decent color. I have cooked some chicken for her. Rice will go on the stove soon. Poor girl. Bland diet for at least 3 days I guess.:hmm

I am cutting hexagons for the grandmother's flower garden quilt to keep busy. It would be nice if I had a template so I could use the rotary cutter.
 
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

We spent the day (when boys weren't napping) at my parents house. We got to hang out with one my my sisters (one couldn't come because of work, the other didn't want to come because *family drama*). The boys got only a few presents but they were very happy with what they got. All told, I think they didn't get more than $100 in toy presents this year. My mom got me half a wardrobe for both boys which probably cost a bit more.

We spent about 2 hours this morning splitting up my flock. I gave 10 hens and my NH Red rooster to my parents. I pulled my banty roos out to cull and threw the banty girls in with the main flock. Besides a few pecks and a little bit of tussling, they seem to be getting on fine.

I went through the 20 Dark Cornish hens I still have (that aren't part of the original trio) and I picked out 4 to keep. @Molpet I wish we could make it work to get you some of my reject hens. Some of them have really GREAT confirmation, but their coloring is bad and their tails are too high for my liking. I want to maintain the lacing, coloring, and tail set so I can potentially sell trios at some point. I'm also selling off or butchering the Cornish girls I'm not keeping. I posted them and the 4 LF Cochin girls I have about a half hour ago and I already have a buyer for the Cochins. It will be nice to limit my feed bill.
