Our Friend Jennifer is in the middle with Vinlands Leifur (Lee), Lee won "Best of Breed" at all 4 show. He is the littermate/brother to my male Icelandic Sheepdog Vinlands Erik (Moose). Moose and Lee are also cousins to Sunna.

At the other end is Taylor Fischer with Vinlands Totty. Totty is Sunna's mother and won "Best of Opposite Sex" 3 of the 4 shows. Taylor is Jennifer's handler's, Guy Fischer, daughter.

We sent Guy home with one of the Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys we had raised. He was very happy.

Have I ever told you all how much I enjoy my chickens?

Everyone thinks I'm certified bat crap crazy.

Oh, well. They bring my joy.

Good night!

Luv ya all,

Dar

The UPS driver delivered a package this afternoon and at the time I was just standing there admiring the chickens with no coat on. He said, "You must REALLY enjoy your chickens."

This is the second time he has delivered a package in a month or so where he found me just staring at how beautiful the chickens are.

LOL! They are certainly a magnificent hobby.

Kelly, Molly, Cooper, Deb, and whoever-the-heck-else-lives-around-here. It is supposed to get down to 25 degrees tomorrow! I assume my drip waterers will freeze. They are attached to the coops so maybe they will be close enough to get some protection from freezing. Oh, but the hose supplying the water will freeze. Better start working on a Plan B.

yeah and I am hearing low 30's for the high at my place. My water's will go in the garage tomorrow night.
I started them on Corid. saw a bloody runny pooh. Just 1 however since then there has been no more but better safe than sorry.

With the new year fast approaching, I thought I'd take a moment and reflect on the last year. I also reviewed my 2012 New Years resolutions.

How do you think I did?
