42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
They are:

Monday = Blue,
Tuesday = Green,
Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow.

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Don't forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches. PowerAde won't work. Pass this information on to friends so they can be informed.

lots of interesting tidbits there donnie

Welcome to all the new folks. Sounds like the enabler radars are already focused on helping you flesh out your flocks... Lol.

MJ. So sorry to hear about your Mottled Cochin hen... I know how attached you were to her...

Buster, it is evident you did a lot of hard souls searching in the decisions you have made about the farm. Sounds great that your daughter and SIL are going to take over the garden and chickens. Best of luck to them and you with your future plans.

Looks like there are a lot of pretty chickens out there.

Donnie tell that mare to cross her legs. We have cows trying to hold back birthing too. This is not good weather for new babies to hit the ground. In the past I've had newborns wrapped in an electric blanket on the kitchen floor while the boys moved the cow into a pen In the barn. Saved many from freezing to death that way.

POOPs plans are ongoing and sounds like the last get together was a success. Look forward to being able to see some of you soon.

We have 16 in the brooder and 3 in the hatcher out of 25 eggs that went in to lockdown on the 18th. Two that pipped, died in the shell overnight and the rest may not hatch...not a bad hatch. Only two were the Birchen Wyandotte and the rest were Columbian Wyandotte and Cochin.

We have had about 2 inches of precipitation and a lot of runoff into the ponds. Sure hoping to get the ponds full before summer just in case of continued drought. Pens are soaked but the birds are dry. I put their feed buckets inside the coops with them to keep it dry.
The geese are sitting on the ground outside their coop.... Must be where the phrase "silly as a goose" comes from.
