Darling grandkids!!

A convo w/ my husband just now.

G - I think we have another broody

K - Oh really which one

G - the dark one

K - which one

G - you know the one that has the dark brown or white stripes in her head, the white one, or maybe offwhite.

This is why we try to name even the ones we are going to eat at our house.

What kind of light timers do you all use?

 

[creps]

I bought an auto timer from Atwoods. It was in the gardening section. The cost was $20.00. It is real easy to use and works well.

I'm getting ready to caponize a few cockerels, that a friend recently gave me. One of those boys, is not going to be caponized, as he is the biggest, prettiest, Ameracauna, I've ever seen. He is the offspring of one of mine, that my friend hatched out. But, far bigger and prettier, than any other Ameracauna that I have.

My neighbor had a large Blue Ameraucanas rooster with an enormous beard. He was one of the most beautiful roosters I have ever seen.

Yes, and names are easier to remember than numbers

Hey Matt,I remember hearing that sound when we lived in Okla. Haven t heard it so much here. Its really errie,like gunshots going off. Hope everyone is able to keep their power on!

 Nana how is the D,Anvers project going? any new colors?

Roger and the calf are both faring well.
The d'Anvers are running neck to neck with the Rosecomb and OEGB... No new colors, but pretty examples of the each.
A BBR d'Anver hen and a Birchen Rosecomb are sharing a broody nest right now. Chicks should hatch next week.

We ended up with 5.8 inches of rain and sleet and a foot of mud! Sure thankful for mud boots and surgical gloves under my leather gloves to keep my hands dry.

This right here is a widow maker. Stuck in several inches of frozen ground

Don't guess I'll be wondering where my firewood is gonna come from

It finally got safe enough to get a better pic of this

I hope everyone gets power restored today and cleanup goes better than you expect. My son in law showed up and I made good progress yesterday. Still a weeks worth left and one deer I'm fixing to start on but hey firewood n meat for the future is a blessing even if it did come all at once

Im not 100% certain, but I believe that this one, was from a blue mother. Dad was definitely black with white splash on the wings. 9 different hens could have been mom. more than likely, it was one of the 3 blues, though.
