No, we didn't move to Weeks Road til May. BUT, i did see on the Chronicle last week i think that a dog had chased after some horses and the owner shot at the dog but missed and he alerted the county sheriff about it.

A few months ago we were coming home late one night and there was a horse standing on the side of the road at the bridge on Nicholson...scared the you-know-what out of us! lol

Here is my flock at supper time!

Cute flock! You know how I said none of my LF hens had gone broody? I went to go collect eggs lastnight and got the goodness pecked out of my hand for trying to boot my plymouth barred rock out of the nest box. I gave it another shot and was able to pry her off for a moment, but she ran right back to the eggs. I gave up and turned my attention to my salmon faverolle hen. As soon as I looked at her, she started growling at me. I wasn't going to push my luck. Now, I could have gotten them off the nests if I wanted to, but I'm not sure I want to. I need more chickens like I need a hole in my head, but maybe I can disperse them somewhere. Or I could remove all but the silkie eggs... There would be EEs mostly, with some silkies, exchequer leghorns, and marans and barred rock/exchequer leghorn mixes. My ameracauna and wyandotte boys haven't become very "active" yet. Any takers? haha

Thanks! Mine haven't gone broody at all, but sounds like that may be a good thing, at least right now, lol. The Wifey said I couldn't have anymore chickens, until we start hatching our own, why we got the Dom rooster. If you hatch out those maran/BR/leghorn mixes I would like to see them asap!

How old are your boys? Mine is the same way, he is 9 months so maybe they''re still too young...next spring perhaps???

No one eats sweet potato casserole? Shame on them! That rocks! Hope everyone has a wonderful day, no matter how big or small. Last year at this time, I didn't even have a farm and was scared to death of chickens.

Ten months and 150 chickens later, I couldn't be happier! I have so much to be thankful for!

Me too...thankful for so much and I'm thankful for my flock of 7hens!!! lol But I'll get more!! But 150 WOW!!!!That's awesome! And a Farm, Way Awesome!!!

Cranberry horseradish dressing? That sounds fabulous! Care to share your recipe for that? I'd love to make it.

And my hens have definitely slowed down.

Looks like Thursday is going to be okay. Hoping! I'm just about done painting my coops. I have four converted wood playhouses and am painting them to look like Rainbow Row in Charleston. I think I'm going to call them Rainbow Egg Row.

One more to do. It's so beautiful today that I'm sure I can get it done!

Sounds beautiful, Susanne! Make sure to show us photos. Your place is beautiful already, I am sure this will be another attractive addition.

I sure hope the weather is good. I hate doing chores in nasty weather before I have to go in and get ready for a nice meal. At least it will be just the 4 of us.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and treats their birds to some leftovers!

Have no clue.

That is where I got two of mine also. I don't know if countrypreacher would know who had them or not. Wouldn't hurt to send a PM and ask him
