I am sorry, all, but I took a hiatus from this thread when I had a month-long house guest, then the chilly then snowy-followed-by-mud weather encouraged me to cocoon in the Enchanted Recliner (away from the computer)... And then I got involved in the Easter Hatch-along, and now the Cinco De Mayo Turkey Hatchathon...
Plus Punkin went broody in the dogs' bed under the TV table and has hatched 3 chicks...
Wait, in January I picked up a House Silkie, Sparkle;she also went broody and hatched 4 chicks (which are now House Hooligans and I must develop a plan for putting THEM out without Sparkle).
Umm. Jack, my house Polish Roo died, and that was really sad for me. So I kinda got out of my own world and participated in The Old Folks Home thread and some others.
There had been no new major upgrades to the house and/or property until this month (April 2013) when John and I started the Duck Pond project.
Because it's awfully warm outside today, I plan on gathering photos and posting them here this weekend.
I am NOT done here - I just took a hiatus.
Until I get going on "catching up," here's something to ruminate upon: if one has more than 3 chickens spending nights inside the house, does that mean it's really a House Flock? (I can prove I am a crazy chicken lady - I have an Extra Secure Long Sleeved "jacket" of my very own! BYCer superchemicalgal made it for me!).
