I hope the Corid works for you.

I am losing poults from failure to thrive. So far I have lost two and now have one that has gone blind I believe. Been giving them vitamins in their water trying to help.

Thanks.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry, Hon!

I only have it Sunday mornings, when I can manage to not wake anyone as I make my coffee. So as long as you don't wake anyone, I'd gladly share.

So, I have been trying to live a more alkaline lifestyle, and coffee is a no no. I tried green tea, but you know, coffee is just way more satisfying than green tea. IJS as I start on my 2nd cuppa coffee with caramel sauce melted in that I made last night.

1cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
Bring to 300f

Add 3/4 c of heavy cream and 2 tbls of butter Bring up to 250f
Take off heat add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 2 more tablespoons of butter. Stir well, pour in jar and enjoy.


I sold 2 more pullets this weekend, but gainrd a 5 weeks old bantam chocolate orpingtons chick. The bf gave me the ok to get a few more ducks for eggs, just not muscovy and they have to be quiet. Any clues as to what good ducks would be to add to my egg layers? Muscovy are more for meat for us.

Things have thawed out, and I got new straw and hay to put out today. With the snow melted, everything is so muddy. I'm just waiting for a volunteer to arrive that wants to help me with homesteading chores. while I drink this beautiful cup of coffee

My girls have been working on caramel sauce for DH's coffee. =)



Oops, I was being ugly. We also knew a great many wonderful people and still have great friends there. It just wasn't any easy place for us to live.
Aw, you're so Southern!

Welcome!



LOL... Today is moms birthday... and we survived the celebration yesterday. We went to a local restaurant called Jimmies. A bit nicer than Dennys food wise. My son was a great help and he actually joined us...

I tease mom about being a crow in a past life because she loves anything shiny.... I got her a purple glass vase with some shiny decorations stuck in it... ... And a Cube shaped Birthday balloon.

I also promised to take her to Joes Crab Shack sometime this week... she and I can walk a bit further than Grandma can And Grandma does NOT like ""Fish""....

Happy Birthday to your mom, Deb!
Glad everyone enjoyed the celebration. =)

Thank you. I am in the country on almost 7 acres. I put my flock list in my signature along with my family.

My brother-in-law and his wife live in San Diego. It looks beautiful in pictures but I love living in the country. I grew up in the country. When I married my husband, we lived in a city for 20 years, so it is nice to be back in the country. I still have neighbors and a grocery store.

If I had my druthers Id be living at my own home.... I have eighteen acres in an area that most places are 20. BLM land is between my neighbors house and Mexico so I am set back from the border about two miles. there are train tracks that follow the border as well as a border fence which is patrolled.

The key to groceries here is having a BIG refrigerator. LOL... and a BIG Freezer.

on my driveway facing north. My property line only goes through a few of those rocks.


A view from the OUt house towards Mexico or pretty much Due south Those pale gray hills in the distance are in Mexico about ten miles away. There is a lot of rugged country between. and a couple of towns.

My dog Rosie in the pix as well RIP.

 
Ugh, Mississippi. We lived there several years, about half an hour south of Jackson. Gorgeous country, but the people where we lived were so ugly and hateful. I was glad to come back home. Husband's from Iowa, so he's still in foreign land.

Haha, rain. It is what it is. You get used to it.

I have a small flock, 13 hens and 1 roo. I have 5 (four hens and the roo) speckled sussex, and the rest are either auction or feed store mixes: two "color project cull" orpingtons, an "australorp" and her tomboy sister, an FBMC, and four white hens that lay great big brown eggs.

Yeah, Mississippi, I have come to accept it. I am north of Jackson. Yes, I have found people can be hateful everywhere and some more than others. LOL
