  [COLOR=800080]Welcome to the flock!! How often you get eggs, depends on the chicken. I get 4-6 a week from mine. One BSL, one RSL and one Easter Egger. I also have 4 pullets that are 11 weeks old and one crippled hen who no longer lays.[/COLOR]

you mean 4-6 per hen per week, right?

Well we got a crazy wind storm last night and a tree branch came down right next to the coop! Slept thru the whole thing and was quite surprised this morning!

No eggs this morning. Fart, fairy, or otherwise.

Miss Paisley on the couch.....

And she decided to cuddle while I was watching a movie....

It is hard to believe that these guys were a week old yesterday!

They are starting to get wing feathers, and sprouts of tail feathers.

Harriet is being a great mom!



I went up to my dad's yesterday..... These are some of his horses. The two Percherons are Aunt Bea and Jake....

These guys were heading for shelter from the storm....

See..... Its coming!

I went up to pick blackberries..... The bushes are loaded, but we only got to pick for about 10 minutes before the storm started, and we had to quit..... We picked a little over 1/2 gallon in that amount of time!

The following, unlike most of my stories, is completely true. This actually happened.

I was puttering around the house this morning, having shuffled the kids off to summer school, and I happened to walk by the back door. We have french doors that open out onto the deck where there should be a sliding door, but nevermind that. They are like one huge window. As I said I was sauntering by and I happened to glance toward the coop.

And I saw a chicken's neck and head sticking out of one of the next boxes.

RED ALERT! RED ALERT! THE MOTHER BIRD IS IN THE NEST. I REPEAT. THE MOTHER BIRD IS IN THE NEST.

I couldn't open the door to get a better look because that would disturb whomever it was that was sitting so nicely in the nest. I went down to the basement to see if I could find some binoculars so I could see who it was. Maybe you guys were right, maybe it was Penny. I couldn't see any birds in the run. Probably all inside cheering her on. No binocs. Hmmmm.....

So I did what any sane person would do. I put the long lens on my camera and took a peek, heart hammering. I twisted the lens to zoom alllll the way in, in hopes of getting a better look...and this is what I saw:



A shadow across the window which, from far away, looked JUST LIKE A CHICKEN NECK.

I am checking myself into a facility. I appear to have gone nuts.

Oh mortie... Lol. How were the duck eggs, are they close to chicken eggs in taste and texture?

Hey Lindz, what kind of puppy is Paisley? She looks a lot like my Waffles.

Edited to add: she moved as I was taking the picture.

She is a Irish something or other and sheltie mix
