thank GOD our feed stores don't sell other than pre-order .. Though that would be FABULOUS!!!I'd love to pickup a couple lavender guineas, oh and to stumble upon some polish, and maybe some silkies, some EE... O LORD what has become of me?

Last night dh said "you are out of control. OUT of CONTROL!'

I had just come back in after a final interior coat of paint on the coop and was so high from the sheer thought we were almost done!!
Yeah~ tell me something I don't know, Babe.

Congrats on the fuzzies!!!

Two weeks ago, I had shipped eggs set to hatch under a broody. Only 3 had made it to the end, and I decided that wasn't enough for them to stay warm and happy. So the day before they were supposed to hatch, I went to the feed store to buy 6 chicks to keep them happy. I got to the feed store, thinking I'd buy sex-links or some fabulous layer, and came home with 6 blue wyandottes, 6 giant cochins, and 2 light brahmas. All of them are likely to go broody on me! Only one hatched under the broody, so at least he/she has 14 sisters. Right???

And, I hate to admit it, but I have 16 more bantams coming next week from Ideal. 4 blue silkies, 4 GLW's, 4 black frizzles, and 4 sultans. Where in the world will I put them?

Tonight I've been sitting on here reading about crosses people are doing to have a sustainable meat/eggs flock. And I'm fantasizing about the next breeds I'm going to get to start that glorious sustainable flock... I need dels and NH reds next.

And I haven't mentioned that I already have 31 hens and 3 roos outside...

This is ridiculous. Luckily, the only negative thing my hunny has said to me is, "This is getting a little expensive." Then he gave me a hug, and told me that's why he loves me.
