I totally agree! We live in Lake Oswego and I love the sound of the rooster and various wild peacocks in the hood, just not at 5am on a school/work day. If you're in the country, then well, expect it! LOL.

Well, howdy neighbor!!

LOL - you'd hate to be MY actual neighbor though! I have 16 roosters, and they like to crow when I get home from work....at 3am! LOL

I'm an Oregonian, born and raised, but I just gotta say...I am so tired of this rain and the mud that goes with it!!! My chickens don't even want to leave the coop, is the end in sight?

 

[Cloverleaf Farm]

The END? I thought you just said you were born and raised here...you know better than to think there is an END! LOL I know what you mean though...I am so sick of the mud already!

Ok, let me rephrase that...is there an end in sight to the current deluge? Maybe some relief in the near future, like sunny skies for a couple of days?

I do have to say that I appreciate my friends on here...they always keep me in line! LOL

 

[Yay Chicks!]

The "end" is called July.

Anyway, nah, I don't pay attention to the weather reports, they're usually wrong anyway. I take each day as it comes. I get up, look out the window, and prepare for the day according to what I see! That way I'm only irritated by the weather, rather than the weather AND the weatherman!

Oh, and John - I got my first egg from my LF Ameraucana pen today!! It was from one of the black pullets I got from Jen at the swap!

Not QUITE as "blue" as I would have liked, but I'm going to see what she does, and decide if I'm going to keep her or not...she's only one of 2 blacks though, so I really don't want to let her go...we shall see...

I got two blue/green (what do you call EE egg color?) eggs today! The amazing thing is that they are from my 8 year old hens! And I was going to send them off to a retirement farm in Roseburg (to actually retire, not to the stock pot!). I need the room for some new babies. The old ladies took a molt break. One stopped in August. I thought she wasn't going to lay anymore. The other molted in October. They both had horrible molts down to bare skin.

Speaking of...is there a wives tale about hard molts and hard winters or something? I had a yard full of nekid birds this year.

Silkie report: still in the coop. I tried to shoo them out today but to no avail.
