Yes, I think I need to go gather my rabbits and chickens while the sun is shining - so I can visualize the temperature as being above 24 degrees.

NNbreeder - are you going to make the trek to Jones tonight?

If an indian runner is male, he will have a couple curly feathers on his tail. He should also have a quieter quack.

Maybe that will help.

Dandelion, I went to your incubator project page. It looks like it will be awesome when completed and I am looking forward to following the progress as you complete it.

What a wonderful way to keep a large object out of the landfill!

Although you are correct that the different colors of eggs don't really make a difference to what is being hatched, I like to tell my egg customers that they are receiving "colorful eggs from cheerful chickens."

Dear Dot

I feel your pain... You don't have to be a preacher's wife to have God move ya around like a chess piece sometimes...

My deal is that I am afraid He will try and move me FROM here TO somewhere else. I don't have real confidence in the economy right now, and my house has a mortgage and due to a business partnership that failed we are up to our necks in debt. I just try to remember that if He moves me, there will be a blessing in it somewhere... I have never seen Him do anything that has not benefited me in the long run... although most times I have gone kicking and screaming. I am known for a melancholy nature... prone to see the worst in everything.... and I feel like any minute I could be living in a tent under a bridge. But I have always said better under a brdge in Oklahoma than anywhere else....Just keeping holding on to His cloak...He is doing a major work right now...HUG A HEN! I have found that there is only a few things in this life that cannot be made better by hugging a hen! You have my thoughts and prayers...

Now... gotta go change out a water heater that blew out at the WORST possible time...

See y'all

MAN ! I was with ya til you said 'grits'.

Stimp - there may be some exceptions, but I have come to the conclusion you can tell on what side of the Mason-Dixon line and maybe on what side of the Mississippi River someone was raised, by whether someone likes grits and how they eat them. My Dad was raised in Kansas and Indiana and he always put salt, pepper and butter on his grits. A favorite treat for breakfast when we were growing up was fried grits, with maple syrup on top (Dad didn't put pepper in those). On the other hand, my DH was born and raised in Oklahoma and he likes his grits with milk and sugar.

My favorite ways to eat eggs are scrambled, and hard boiled eggs made into deviled eggs -particularly if someone else will go to the work of making the deviled eggs and just let me eat them.

The best way to prepare grits is to mix them with cheese and buttermilk in a wooden bowl. Then bake them at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. Then throw the grits out and eat the wooden bowl.

Well, Pa-Pa got the KID delivered to his younger daughter.
She and her hubby are taking his nephew and TJ to the
circus in Tulsa this afternoon. And, brought the Langshans
home.

Yup, I know already where this is headed. These birds are
absolutely gorgeous. Kendra has already made the comment
that they are so large, "SHE" probably needs to show them.......
Somehow I don't see TJ thinking that this is a good idea...LOL
Actually, I'm even excited about these birds. I have ONE
large greenhouse left and figure pens will start going up
next week.

I'll never get to go to the lake..............................

Have a good one !

Hi, Henny,

Thanks so much for the prayers. I do covet them...and yes, the economy scares the stuffing out of me. I grew up with my grandparents and know exactly what may be coming, and that's one reason the coop and the chickens were such an answer to prayer! But we know, better than most, that if God brings us TO it He will also bring us THROUGH it.

And hen-hugging is great therapy. Sorry about your water heater...large appliances have no sense of timing whatsoever. Rather like children and bad actors.

Dot

Even though it was small, I just had my first-ever paying photography job today

The reason I am so glad about this is because more paying odd jobs = more money for chickens

Sherri, I hope you didn't change your mind about the Bantams because they are sold out! By the time I got there just before noon today, there are only some "plain" breeds left

I know at some point in the year, they get chicks every week.

Dot,

Our coop, however, was a gift straight from God, via a small tornado.

Wow! Seriously!

God willing, there will be time to go to the lake after TJ and Kendra are older and of the age where they no longer want to do things with you. If you are fortunate, they won't reach that stage until you have them firmly launched after high school. In my observations however, it usually happens about the time they get a driver's license.
