Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

W4W, I wanted that room too, looks like a spaceship! originally, Wrangler wanted the room that is mine, with the platform for the bed... which would have been fine, but when she saw the room that is hers... that was it. I got outvoted, because her votes count as double (

??)

Chester is the "man of the house". he can snooze wherever he wants, and he does. he's often on the couch in the living room. my new bed is very firm, which is what I like. Oma's bed is very soft, the 4" pillow top calls his name and he can't resist... so it's nice, he tends to sleep with Oma, Peri the Pest sleeps with Wrangler, and if I can separate them... Mama Belle sleeps with me, but often, she sleeps with Wrangler and Peri... so I get Hershey Cat. he's a pest too. drools all over me...
Peri turned 1 in May, so year and a half... another year of pesty behavior and then she should be wonderful. then I can furnish that awesome sunroom - if I'm home, chances are good that I'm in there!

I totally have chickens on the brain. plans are swirling around in there too for how their living quarters will be set up. but I don't think I will have ducks. I'd like to, so maybe a pair. I could sink a small kiddy pool into the ground - I had to use a 2 ton crowbar to dig deeper than 2" for the last 16 years, so I wasn't so enthusiastic about putting in a pond. it's easy digging here, really easy... so easy that the neighbor had to reinforce his side of the fence with concrete to keep his German Shepherd from digging underneath to get to our yard! because every dwelling that surrounds us has large dogs, I will entirely enclose my chicken yard. avian netting will be fine to keep my birds from getting out and into the danger zones, it's going to be a fairly big project.
 
Cheeka, you can have the spaceship bedroom when Wrangler goes off to college.

It will happen sooner than you think! The bonus to having big dogs surrounding you is that it limits the predators a good deal. The downside is BARKING, which can make me a little crazy sometimes. Have you thought about what chicken breeds you want? Being on a smaller scale there, it's more important to get what you want. decisions decisions decisions....

my dogs are the loudest and most annoying in the neighborhood.
I think I'm just going to go with the EE's. they're very hardy, the variations are great, between feathers and shells... and my other ones were very friendly.
 
Hahahahaa! Well, you are far enough away from me, I won't go too crazy. I had to get Scooter a bark collar for when we are gone for the day. Apparently he barked nonstop for 2 hours one night when we were visiting my MIL after back surgery. Was the first time it happened, but thought the neighbor was going to have an aneurysm or something, so got the collar. Couldn't handle the thought of causing someone's death!

I was thinking you would get more EEs. One of my favorites too. The pea combs will be better in the winter there also.

I am whooped from Trick or Treating. it was so much fun. 15 minutes before we were due to leave, Wrangler informed me that I had to have a costume. she has a witch hat or this fuzzy Viking hat, with plush horns. hmm... what else? an orange shirt, circles cut from tape for dots... a tie.

my hat doesn't show up very well, but I'm ready for the Water Buffalo Meeting...
 
I've watched the same Lamb Chop maybe eight times so far today.
Shoot me!

She dumped the popcorn kernels, wiped it out with her fingers, and put it on so matter of fact. :lol:
