I think she got Santa's universal password while at the North Pole. I wish she had his credit card number instead of mine

Haha! This is what happens to bad little bald BRs. If I tried to do this to Spot, she would hate me forever.

Since last week, I hardly remember that I have roosters. I hear a squawk and look to see a roo doin' his thing, but they don't bother me at all (knock on wood).
I had nine today, and only 6 yesterday. That is the lowest in a long time. One egg today was frozen (not cracked) in a pile of poop under the roost. The hunk of frozen poop was just too big to deal with. I stomped it until it FINALLY broke for the girls.
Did a lot tonight. Cleaning carpets, doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, moving furniture... Roger stole my credit card (I think I mentioned this a month ago) around Christmas. I just found a $70 charge that I know I didn't make. I am hoping the bank is able to take care of it. The fun didn't end there (does it ever?). I had like 4 automatic payments that the amount had changed. Some things never came out (I could have paid cash one time, but the cable bill dating back to October? Nope). I am just hopeful I can get the checkbook to balance tomorrow. That and get the coop cleaned.
It is so cold, but the poop (remember, I am using sand) must come out. It is frozen in there thanks to the last defrost causing so much mud, and getting tracked into the coop. The pine chips would have stunk, but frozen poop and sand is a problem too. Poop flies up when I try to break it up.

Good night, all. Keep warm, and give lots of pie!

We got 10 again today!

If only Spot would sprout some feathers and start laying, I would have the elusive perfect egg day. Only 4 yesterday, so will be interesting to see if there is a drop off tomorrow. Warm day again and mostly sunny. Cracked open an egg tonight and the yolk was dark orange. We held an orange peel near and the yolk was darker.

Well, trying to clean out the coop when the poop is frozen gives me a whole new insight into life with very cold temps. Flying poop chunks...

Reminds me of one time we were at a natural history museum with the kid's class and a docent handed him what looked like a rock. It was fossilized dinosaur poop. He almost dropped it!

Glad the rooster situation has turned out so well.

Quote: I think it was homemade really quickly. Poor chicken is apparently bald underneath and temps had dropped quite low. It's probably better to wait until the bird is completely processed before freezing!
