Yes I do suffer from that condition, actually I had started to fold clothes, got a couple done and then decided I NEEDED to go mow instead.

sure sounds like me! get everything the way i want outside before considering the inside...

had an awful lesson today.... don't ever have unattached bins in the coop... my beautiful ornery barbara(br) flipped it over and broke her neck-

didn't find her till tonight, looked all over, but in the coop since they don't stay in there when its hot.... so aggravated!!

So sorry for you lose Robin.

I think finding them is always the worst. If they just dissapear then you can always hope.

Me too. I just came in the house because it got too dark to work.
I thought that I would cut back on my gardening now that I have chickens but I just dug up another flower bed tonight. When we moved in 7 years ago our house had one perennial Astilbe in front. Now there is a perenial bed all around ( have expanded the depth in parts twice) and a rock garden. I put in a 24' x 30' vegitable garden too but 1/3 of that was allways flowers. Now 16' x 24' is a chicken pen. I have always prefered growing flowers to vegitables.
Yesterday someone ask about heirloom tomatoes; I have Cherokee purple, not a pretty fruit but so tasty! I also have red currant tomatoes; so tiny that cherry ones look huge. They take forever to pick but you can sprinkle them on a salad like sunflower seeds (too small to compare to croutons). I got a plant 4 years ago and have grown them from transplanted volunteers ever since.

Cheeping from the incubator....my unkowns are hatching....

Only one so far and three to go out of 16. But it's still exciting to have anything hatch.

Stephanie, prayers your sister continues to do well and they find the bleeder.

My last eggs from my good Mille fleur cochin rooster are in the hatcher at Jack's. Looks like I only have 1 so far. These eggs were all layed after he died so fertility was a question. But the 1 that has hatched was layed 5/5, 9 days after he died. DH said he died of exhaustion - from that roo and 3 young hens I have/had 52 chicks!
From my Partridge Cochin trio I have 16 chicks. Of course I have cochins in other colors too. Even after POOPS I now have too many chicken to count!

Not a chicken comment, but a toad one.... Where I live, there haven't been any toads around for several years. Last spring I found one inside the garage by the garage door. It was only about 1 1/2" long. I put it in the green bean beds I had in the backyard at the time. This spring my little toad came back, but bigger. I was so excited to see it again! I leave the front porch light on for it every evening, and it comes up to eat the bugs. It has become a nightly routine after chores, to go check the front porch for my little toad friend. It always puts a smile on face to see it.
