Don't forget that home is where the heart is. So if you can't stand your spouse, just tear their heart out, and hide it in the freezer. That way you will always be home where the heart is.

"When he was holding the Blue Cochin, he said, I am going to name her dryer lint! I love it!"

I got out did on the name for the Cochin.. The family named it nutter.. as in fluff'n nutter... But just between us.. I'm still calling her lint. She seems to perk up at it. I been out side all day fussing over them seeing what they might need.
The one tall cross i got off ya, I named road runner since it so talk is is wicked fast running from my pecking girls

Glad they are doing good!

Just confirmed tomorrow's chicken processing lesson at the DS's home. DIL wants to learn. She just bought some leghorn roos to practice on ( can there be a more useless bird?) and we will take up our 4 yr old orp spent hens.
Will get DD to practice caponizing on the roos too. Chicken anatomy 101 family time!

Gosh.. hope his shed is heated.
And I WILL get grandma time with the 2 month old GDD

Okay with this batch of chicks. They are over a week old now. They have pasty butt. Really. I have NEVER had chicks that age getting PB. They were fine last night. To top things off one had a nickle sized "ball" of yuck hanging from its navel. There is only 6 chicks left from the original hatch, 21. The 3 Polish went to live with Chad. So that means 12 have died. The ones that have died didn't have the PB. They are mineral oiled. So they have happy shiney hiney, and tomorrow they are going to get some yogurt. Really with this hatch.

I know just how you feel. I went through that a couple of years ago. We had the absolute kindest landlord on earth for 8 years,but there was never any chance of buying the house.It was her deceased husbands childhood home. One day she gave the house to his sister (told you she was nice) who had a son that needed a home, and just like that we were out. My family is big, so I couldn't just go anywhere, and we moved in with the in-laws for a year. I seriously thought I would not recover from the emotional toll that it all took on me. BUT, God is good! I am now on a beautiful farm with a gazebo, and a pool, a bedroom for everyone, and all the chickens I want. I still rent, but once again was blessed with an awesome landlord. I now know it's true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You'll end up some place even better, I just know it

Inspiring, AND heart warming. Thank you.

Heather, wow. You really are going through it with these chicks, hope their shiney hineys get well for ya!

I hope so. We moved here from NC a year ago. From our own home in the 'burbs to a rented home in the country. We love it here and love the schools. The thought of moving makes me physically ill. He just extended our lease, so we are good for another year. After that, who knows?
