There has been a mistake! I looked back and saw I wrote 200 yards; it is 200 FEET! I am so sorry! My yard is a total of 240 ft x 50 ft. So, not even an acre.

I had an Amish family process for me. I think I paid $2.50 per bird. They did not do a great job packaging. I had so many that she had to have her husband help, and he just tossed pieces in each package. Some packaged had 4 legs and others had just a couple breasts, etc. She did mention she was, "out of practice." The second batch I took to her I had her just leave them whole, and paid $2.00 each.

Nick, that does make more sense. When I read that, I had a headache and didn't even notice the "yards" part. My driveway is about 200 ft. and that's a good walk if it was to take care of chickens.

A new Delawegger came into the world this morning! Nugget has a new baby, her fourth bout with motherhood. Since Emily quit at Day 17 again, Nuggs only had to sit for 2 weeks to get a new family. This is another Isaac/June baby and looks much like Junebug and Hedwig rather than their brother, so hopefully, is a pullet. Here is the new cutie-pie:

The Nugget is such a pretty color!

Isn't she, though? That's why I got a few more BO eggs from Jody for the last hatch. I have two pretty BO pullets growing out who are probably related to her somehow. She's a very big girl, too, and an awesome mama. The problem with Nuggs is that she is so mild-mannered when not broody that she can be bullied by any other chicken. She doesn't realize she could just sit on them and squash them!

Sit on them and squash them? Would love to see that!

What a sweet girl.

You? Need an excuse?!?

Gee LH, I didn't know there was such a thing!

The new stove is here!!

The new stove is here! Actually, it came yesterday, but we didn't get it all hooked up and functioning until today! FINALLY!! I can COOK again!!

And if Red ain't real careful, he's gonna be the first roasted chicken to come out of said brand new oven!

The little pill had the audacity to try to take a chunk out of me this morning! Though, in all honesty, I think it was more out of jealousy than anything else. I happened to have both Brutus and CB cuddled up in my arms at the moment, and Red weren't happy about it one lick! So, he let his displeasure be known. I just glared and growled at him. He put his head down almost to the ground and started pouting. I'm not kidding. That dang boy actually knows how to pout!!

So, I let the other two boys go and pulled Red over to me for some cuddles all his own. That probably wasn't the smartest thing for me to do. It just reinforced his notion that bad behavior will get him what he wants just as readily as good behavior.

I'm such a sucker for a rooster pity party!

Love those pictures of Nugget with the new babe, Cyn. She so reminds me of Gimpy, God rest her precious soul. She would have made such an awesome mommy if she had just had half a chance.

Dang rotten neighbors dog! I hope he rots in you know where!

Oooohkaaay...been a long old day. I'm heading for bed y'all. Hope you have an excellent weekend!

I'm so happy for you, Amy! I know you have been looking so forward to having your new stove! You are gonna be busy in the kitchen now, aren't ya? YAY for Amy!
