Evening everyone! Well it looks like we are heading into another drought year here! For this time of spring it is really dry. Stuff in the garden isn't sprouting,its just to dry. My irs have been poor bloomers this year. Lots of buds didn't have enough moisture to open up and most that did only last for one day. I mowed today and it hadn't grown much,usually I'm mowing twice a week this time of year.
I put my baby goslin down on the ground with some of the chicks she has grown up with. She abandoned them is following the big Icelandic roo around! When he clucks for his hens she comes running! He looks at her like " what are you doing here!" . Its really funny to watch.
Had a new batch of g.pigs born this week,I'll add a pic of them. They are the prettiest batch I've had I believe. Also saw a neat pic of a Komodor that I thought those of you who have them might enjoy.

Your klittle gosling knows a good loking man when she sees one!!!
love the dog photo. and sorry about the drought. Loved your photos of flowers from last year.

Yep going to be pulling my little guys all into the house for the night.

Wow. lots of posts. I'm in the middle of water changes on the big Oscar tanks. I'd slacked off for awhile but a month ago started doing them once a week again like I always had.
Christina, for the farm tax-do you have to pay in what you've saved at the end of the year? There's got to be a catch (after all it's the IRS).
I got 14 eggs in the mail today! All LF Cochin eggs, 1/2 Gold Laced and 1/2 Silver Laced. I saved the picture of the some of the adults they have and will post it. All I know is I love how their lacing is. The birds look nice and big, too.
Robin, didn't you have some Silver or Gold Laced Cochin eggs? How did that hatch turn out?
I've come to the conclusion that some roosters are just harder on their hens than others. Out of my 2 Slash Cochins, the one I kept had a few bald women and he had 12 hens to chose from. The one Rebecca took had been living with just 2 hens and they didn't have a hair out of place. Same with my big blue/black Cochin. His ladies are pristine with not a single torn feather, the Modern boy never ruffles a feather on his hen yet the big Faverolles boy must like em' bald because that's how his hens are looking. I don't *like the hens to be missing their head feathers So are some roos just too rough on the girls? Or do they have a favorite? Maybe the bald ones are just slower and get grabbed 1st?
Anyway, here's the picture of a couple of the breeding stock where my eggs came from, the boys look different from the girls but I love their colors. I don't have a flipping clue about "type", I just know what I like. I've wanted more Cochins hatchings so bad, but was scared to hatch any because my Cochins are the ones I get overly attached to. I'll have to work on that.

I'm sure you've heard of where Ortho makes a product called "Weed-B-Gone".

That stuff ain't allowed anywhere near my garden. I don't like to use chemicals, BUT... They also make "Grass-B-Gone". It will kill anything in the grass family without harming the broad leafed plants. It's really great getting rid of bermuda growing in the cactus bed too.

 

[Okla-doodle-doo]

Tony think it would work on iris beds? Boy that would be great. I will have to find some,I imagine Walmart carries it. Lost my mottled Cochin roo last night. Not a varmint but looks like either heart or respiratory,his face and comb were all blue!
Supposed to get much needed rain tonight and tomorrow. Woul rather nothave it on as because that's sale day! Going to take some stuff and try and thin down the feed bill.wife lost her job so it's going to be tight for a while. Always something to happen it seems. She has a promising interview today so keep your fingers crossed!

 

[Oakieridge]

How is everyone doing after the rains last night? We haven't been outside to check yet, been cleaning the brooders in the house all morning. Getting ready to go outside to move chicks around in the prep for the new chicks coming from Carl's today. Our little chick in the hatcher is still working away, the other 5 eggs still nothing. They have until Sunday when I have to move Guinea eggs over to the hatcher. We will be going this afternoon to take our daughter to celebrate her 20th bday that was yesterday. She wants to go to Ted's to eat mexican food, yummmmm.

We bought this place last July and didn't know what most of the trees and bushes were. We have a very large one of these near the kitchen door and I have really been enjoying it

This is privet. It's a good, multi-purpose, semi-evergreen landscape shrub. It lives almost forever with very little care (you don't even have to water it), and you can trim it into any size shrub or hedge you want, or let it grow naturally--which is the form I prefer. Butterflies love its sweet-smelling blooms and birds love its seeds. The only drawback is that it will throw many, many seeds, as well as their being distributed by the birds, and you may have to destroy a lot of seedlings. However, they are very easy to pull, even when they are a couple of feet tall.

Hey, thanks to all the folks that welcomed me back. I have to do all this on my phone, and it doesn't always work right. I am looking for one or two Bantam N.N. for my wife, if anyone has some they could part with. We will be at poops, or could probably pick up before . ROBIN, if you are coming to poops, do u have any offspring off dragon you would part with? Thanks all, the best way to reach me is by email, as BYC doesn't work very well with mt phone.

Oh pretty birds, Kurt found silver laced banty cochins chicks he wants to buy so I guess Monday we will be going to buy them. He has a trio of Partridge banty cochins, and then he has 7 chicks that are feathering out black, mottled, and one still questioning what he will look like, lol.
