Hi HEATHER!!!

We miss you, girlfriend! I'm glad you're settling in, and your girls look fabulous on the long horn!!

Thanks! I missed you all too! LIfe was too crazy (and still is to some degree) to get back on here. Plus it was so sad without my hens. *le sigh* I have a nearby farm rescue place that might let me volunteer once the girls start school in the fall, they have many, many breeds of fowl plus the donkeys, horses, sheep, llamas, etc.

I just got an email from a baking supply company that has HEN cookie cutters! I need another cookie cutter like I need an upright piano, but still - HENS! Always with the roosters - anyway -

Yeah. Thanks. They don't just have one cookie cutter. Nope. My cart has lots of stuff in it.
Thanks

You are so very welcome!

(I hate getting their paper catalogues because I can't bear to throw them out. Works on me like witchcraft.)

Hi Heather and all! I haven't been on for awhile...so much stuff is happening. Still have to move my daughter and sister into new apartments which is a pressing concern. Last week learned that my hubby has a bad case of Lyme Disease (again) and I have Mono. I am going for more testing to rule out some other things. I have been totally exhausted and my tail is dragging. Thought I would share two cute pics for a Happy Hump Day even though I am a few mins late.

Question for the group.... I have silkies. This will be our first winter together. Thoughts on their hardiness during the winter or if I need an alternate heat source....

Welcome! We are breeding silkies (in Dutchess Cty) and we add a supplemental heat source to our coop in cold weather. We also make sure they have a fan in the coop during warm/hot weather and a box fan hung on the run (which is shaded). I have observed a reduction or cessation in egg laying when the temps get really hot or really cold. This past winter, it wasn't until we added a heat lamp to the coop, that the silkies resumed laying.

Morning all,
Beautiful babies Tina . Sorry to hear you and your husband aren't feeling well.

The Dutchess county fair is in 2 weeks. I'm thinking of going on Wed or thursday the 21- 22. It's about as far as the jersey fair minus the belt parkway. I truely Hate the belt parkway and Ithink it hates me.I've never been but what the heck. It's a nice drive up the Taconic . If anyone wants to take the ride let me know and we can make some plans. Christina , I don't think it is crazy far for you.

Looking for homes for 2 beautiful true Aruacanas .rumpless with 1 tuft each. About 8 weeks.

Nice pics Tina! I hope your feeling better fast. My sister's son just got over west nile virus and mono stacked together. What a long haul that was.......but he's getting better finally. Try to rest is all you can really do.
