I'm writing up my part-with list too... but I want to squeeze some eggs out their little butts first. I haven't seen single one from that group since last summer.

I'm just going to cook some to thin the flock

That's how we plan to thin our flock once we need to. No hiding necessary in this thread Sammie Boi!

My flock seems to be self thinning.

I thought you haven't had any losses in a short bit? Or did something happen I missed?

Hello everyone.

I wasn't feeling well at all today (still down for the count). Just got the Milk Drinker to sleep and I want to head to bed soon too. I've been working on a crocheted Afghan for my sister. I gave my other sister one when she got married. This sister seems like she is in a really serious relationship for the first time. Most of her relationships didn't last 2-3 months or even made the "take a cutesy couple pic for FB" stage. She, like me, has a low tolerance for bull tater. So, since my time is now more limited, I started on an afghan for her, even though it isn't "official" yet. I started yesterday and I'm 5 squares in, only 31 more to go. I'm going faster than I thought I would. I'm going to edge these squares (which are Taupe) in a border of Kelly Green. The squares will be about 13" wide when I'm done with the border. I wasn't sure which colors she would like, so I sent her the Joann Fabrics link to the yarn I use and asked her to pick 2 colors. She requested that I make her one someday (even if she didn't get married ) when she saw the one I made for my other sister.

This is the one I made for my other sister. It is hard to see, but it is ivory with a pale green borders. It is the same pattern. I looked for a new pattern for the one I'm making now, but I really like how easy this one square is to make. The cat belongs to the sister who has the first afghan, his name is Gus.

None lost in the last few days. Just feeling sad i am down to 4 pullets from 10 and no cockerels to fertilize eggs. So its a dead end.

Smuvers, try garage sales, thrift stores and goodwill. You may not find in bulk, but you may find cheap. Otherwise, try bulk food stores and online. Wal-Mart has them, along with places like Kroger and probably Piggly Wiggley and other grocery stores, but are more than likely more expensive. (Yes, I just revealed my Midwest upbringing with those two grocery stores )

And sometimes stores will sell cheap at the end of canning season. I had a bunch i got free but hubby threw them out when we moved. To be fair, i have never canned, but planned to.

Cappy, it looks like there is a straight run of chicks in your near future, lol. Maybe this year will be more equal, gender wise, instead of last year's mostly cockrel hatches.
