The second one, you just can't get caught! Bribe neighbors with eggs lol

Or claim they move around so much you can't get an accurate count.

That's what I do. The best part is, this becomes more believable the more chickens you have. Once you get past about 50 or so, no one really expects you to have an accurate count anymore.

This is SO true! Hubby had no idea that we had almost 100 chickens running around outside at one point last year lol. Honestly, I don't really even know how many we have at the moment lol

You guys are forgetting the cardinal rule of chicken math... Roosters don't count, neither do chicks, neither do young pullets that haven't started laying, or older hens who don't eat much or lay, or eggs in the incubator...

Fluffy butt, I think you came to the bar instead of the AA meeting.

Edited for spelling.

Has he come to dread the Annual Chicken Pickup?
People ask me how many chickens I have and I kind of shrug and say "about 300". They gasp and move away in case it is contagious.

No, he doesn't fight it anymore and just kind of trusts that I'll keep things under control lol. My mom occasionally asks how many we have...I think she immediately regrets asking lol

This snow made finding chick medicine difficult but sure made everything pretty again!
Queen Andromeda

Neptune hates the snow!

Ducks won't let me close when they are in Creek but I'm cool to hang out by when I have lettuce!

And dogs have been getting jealous of all the birds so we took them on a walk behind the house with my son Daytona. So pretty!

Going sledding tonight!

Great pictures! Looks like you got a good bit of snow out there. We only got a dusting this time around.

It's still falling down. My son and I looked pretty funny trying to figure out our little tractor with the snow blower this morning. My husband will not be impressed with the job we did lol.

Anyone here in Crawford Co? I have been emailing a guy there that has some chickens I really want. He can ship, but if I could find a way to get them without the trauma and expense of shipping that would be preferable.
I'm also planning to buy a flock of black and chocolate muscovies. I've never kept them before, but the colored ones are pretty and they are notoriously good broodies.
Did I mention that I have 250 chicks on order from Sandhill and 25 bantam Ameraucanas from John Blehm? Gonna have to build more coops this year for sure.

Skunk Smell Remover Recipe

1 quart hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. dish detergent


Sponge on and let dry. Safe for use on cats and dogs. If you need to double or triple this recipe you can easily do it. Do not use on clothes.
The other part is to blot the spot(s) where sprayed, before applying. Also, I would leave on for about 5 minutes, blot dry as much as possible, and repeat application , a few times.

Thanks, but I didn't think you could smell me from all the way out there. Sheesh!
