OK, and I'll try to pick a day the weather isn't miserable.

Spring has to be coming soon. It just has to, right?
 
Yes!!!! Spring Fever

looking at the upcoming weather,,, I think I will clean out my buckets and get a fresh ferment going, gonna do one like normal and try another with just grain,,,,I have whole corn, wheat, barley on hand......and suggestion what I can go get to add to that, cheaply please, I have a couple options on farm stores...I still have about a dozen sunflower plants hanging in the barn, but do not feel like shelling them...

my youngest granddaughter will also be here this weekend (2 year old) may be a good time to run to TSC and pick up those production birds, she would enjoy that...

Totally with you on the 'excited for nice weather' thing! We have 2 broodies due to hatch tomorrow and it will be so nice to finally see chickens roaming around outside on grass instead of mud!

Though... not looking forward to muddy dog paws needing cleaned 10x a day till all the snow melt soaks in or dries up! Our yard still is under at least a foot of snow, with a lot more where it is piled from the plow and snowblower. I think we will have snow banks till June at the rate we are going!

I have to agree with you!!! I am so ready for spring...I have already started about thinking about my garden and what i want to plant my flower beds toooo! and all the stuff i want to do in the yard this year!!!!!!! I am sick of being inside all the time at home and for work and so are the pups i think! But i am not exicted about wiping their feet everytime they come back in! or the baths cause they think the mud is fun to play in!

YAY for spring!!!!!

Question. Did any of you ever have a chick that is so bonded with you that you feel bad putting her back in the brooder? My little Pepper is always the first one to run out of the brooder when I open it up and all she wants to do is snuggle and cuddle up on my shoulder or under my neck. She isn't even 2 weeks old yet! Most of the others don't like to be held at all and some won't even come to my hands but not little Pepper. Is this normal. Remember, still a newbie here lol.

My one chick last year did that! It ended up being a rooster! I got rid of him and I still regret getting rid of him...He was also the first to greet me and would let me pick him up and was happy just being held and loved on. Some of my other chickens now dont mind being held and other could careless....My one hen which I lost this winter if i was sitting in the yard she would climb up on my lap and snuggle in and go to sleep.

Guess they are just like everyone else they have different personalities and some like us better then others. And all love you when you have food or treats! haha
