Surviving Minnesota!

MNchickMom you are in a chicken heaven there of a set up!

Turkey day has been good to us. Probably too good. Turkey coma going on here. Two days of it.

I’ve been knitting. Researching Norwegian pattern mittens. The patterns are called Selbus. I just love them. So I made my first mitten. Researched. Colors picked out for my coat. Knitted for three nights. Proudly laid out on the dining table.

I get home Wednesday evening after work to look at my selbu. It’s not on the table.

“Sadie...!”

You can throw an 8-ball through that hole. This dog is ready to go to its new home. Free! Who wants a chicken trained duck dog Pita? Hmmm?

So that’s what I’ve been up to. Knitting. Clickety click. And it appears there will be more knitting than I expected...?

OH NO! ! ! Sadie you naughty, naughty girl! ! ! Yes, we have the black lab now in addition to our two little gippers. Gotta remember that the black lab can look on top of counters and tables. She has gotten in trouble many times. I usually am beating myself with a newspaper for some of the stuff she gets into.
 
I want to be third then!!

There is a barn on a Great-Great-Uncle's land, that my uncle rents by his place. It is pretty big, at least 10×30 I think. It is seperated into 3 areas, and was just tinned 7 years ago or so. When we went out for Thanksgiving my dad made a comment saying wouldn't that be a nice chicken coop. Something I might look into for the Cochins. I would probably use 2 sides for breeding and one with conditioning cages.

Speaking of Cochins I let the cock out for about 10 minutes and he enjoyed the sun a lot
