Good morning, wondered why it was so quiet around here

Came home after a trip up north to 8" of new snow - thanks to my good friend who keeps her horses at my place my drive was plowed out. Lots of snow on the netting over the pens, if it was not supported in the middle it would have sagged to the ground. Not that it would be dangerous for my birds though as they will not set foot outside, the first year I have had such a big group of wussies.

Someone bought my quilted Holiday Table Topper off Ebay yesterday.

Our weather has been weird. Yesterday's forecast was for 45* and sunny. We had clouds and snow flurries, so it was mid 30's at best. Today, everything is white with frost and about 32*, but supposed to be sunny and mid 50's. We shall see.

I love your new Avatar Cyn. Be careful in the snow. I see you still have that beautiful piano for sale.

Thanks! Yes, that is my Rex, son of Isaac and big Ida.

Yup, still have the piano. I wish someone would make me an offer on it. I need to get it out of Dad's house ASAP. He's going on 93 and he is planning on selling that house soon and moving up to hoochie-mama's house. I don't want my piano to just sort of disappear. It's a beauty, too.

Just re-homed 12 chickens!

I am down to 54.

congratulations!!!

my broody girl Astrid (swedish flower hen who went broody only about 3 weeks after she started laying) hatched three new chicks yesterday, which (including all chicks) brings my total up to 30.

the new chicks are from a birchen marans dad & an isbar/marans cross mom (black) -- two of them look almost identical, with lots of white on the face/chest, while the other is mostly dark... will be interesting to see how they change as they grow!

(I put the other 4 eggs in the incubator, since broody mom was already starting to leave the nest for food & water, but no sign of hatching activity -- i suspect they got too cold during our recent Big Freeze)

Oh cute, Laura!

Love seeing the chicks! Congratulations, Laura.

Some people are so artistic and talented!

 

[Happy Chooks]

Wow Kathy, that is beautiful. I love those that have artistic talent, because I don't even have a smidge of it.

Laura - congrats on the babies!

I'm down 4 roosters, my hens are going to love me! Now they only have 4 to contend with, not 8! I have a couple of pullets to cull, but I couldn't do it yet - right now I need ANYBODY that is laying eggs!
