I tried 2 different recipes for my scones. I didn't care for the first ones. Too cakelike. Michael loved them. I tweaked another recipe today and made a more traditional scone. I will try one when they cool and take pretty pictures.

Kelly post a pic of the chicks before you give them to the broody. Please.

I want that 2nd scone recipe!

I already took pictures of the little cuties! Here's the 4 EE's my broody Orp that crushed her eggs is getting tonight. Today was chick delivery day at the feed store. If the 2 eggs my Production Red broody "collected" while I was on the hike have stopped developing, then she will get 2 of the babies.






She had better accept them, or she's outta here.

Oh so cute! Keep us posted.

I tried to save a foundered pony many years ago. Her hoof wall and lifted away. She got maggots in the wound. Twice per day the vet had me make an iodine solution in warm water and soak her foot. When I'd lift her foot into the bucket, maggots would float to the surface. I was also injecting her twice per day with a massive dose of penicillin per the vets instructions.

I ended up having her put down.

Our shearer has a spray he uses on shearing cuts that will knock down any maggots. He can't get it here in CA anymore, I'm not sure what it was. It was a BluKote sort of stuff. He said it's still sold in Montana where his mom lives.

Screw worm spray will work very nicely. No maggots.

The deer are on my chit list. They ate all the blackberries that were reachable. They ate my tomato vines. Michael replanted the rose bed for me with new bushes.






In one night, the deer ate all the roses but the pink ones!








We bought two of the Scarecrow sprinklers that come on via motion sensor. Michael put one in the tomato bed and one in the rose bed.




I took one for the team and set it off so I could videotape it.



We couldn't get our Bushnell Gamecam working properly the first two nights so we didn't get any images. Last night however we did. Note the buck on the right hand side in front of the third fence section. Obviously he experienced the sprinkler the night before.


Unfortunately, I forgot the Scarecrows were there and got soaked several times yesterday. Michael installed turn-off valves we can use during the day!

Mary Deer LOVE roses

They do love my roses.........................but this rose was different, a wild climber they aren't supposed to like. The description says it will scramble over fences, sheds, trees and any onlooker that stands close too long

It's a Lady Banks rose (lutea)..................gorgeous. I saw them planted on the side of the road when I went to the Red Bluff show. Jason identified them for me by my vague description "a zillion yellow flowers". It does need sun to bloom at it's best though.



The other possibility he gave me was a primrose jasmine (I've planted one of these as well). The deer have tasted it, but mostly left it alone.

I still need to get you some from work

Boy, there is an amazing intellectual leap contained in the space between the italics and bold text above. But I followed it. Chick Delivery Day at the feed store! How can you possibly even drive by a feed store on such a day?!?! Don't you know the steering wheel will get a mind of its own under those circumstances? They ALWAYS turn in the direction of chicks!
