Texas

I've been busy canning. Started strawberry jam and ran out of jars and did some beans. My 2 year old loves our chickens! He has taken to holding them and they really don't fight it much. He is already use to holding the ducks so he is very careful. I love that my kiddos are growing up with all these animals.

Strawberry jam sounds amazing. also I hope I am blessed like you when I have kids to have so many different animals around for my children to be exposed to.

Had to chase off a hawk this morning. Been fighting a headache, so I had not been outside to let any of them out yet. Heard the guineas start with their alarm call, was expecting it to be another crow or cardinal. Then the roosters and ducks joined in. Next thing I hear is the hawk screeching. It flew off as soon as I started out to the yard. Dadgum thing has plenty of squirrels and wild rabbits to go after and it wants to eyeball my birds.

Have to say that the baby monitor I have set up in the pole barn near the birds was a good investment though.

They always want chicken. Remember Foghorn Leghorn? He had a heck of a time.

BABY MONITOR WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

Originally from Texas, not sure that counts. Currently in Belgium but we plan on going back to the States and having chickens in Texas when we're retired.

Everything counts in Texas!
I love my flock here and it is enjoyable and easy to manage I cannot imagine trying to do chickens up north as I am originally from Michigan. I think mine would freeze to death or there would be a miss hap with the wood stove I put in for them.

And Texas will welcome you with open arms when you come back!!


I'm not from Texas (hanging head in shame) but my husband is. His job moved us back here 14 years ago. We've moved all around Texas, and I'm okay with that, but I told him we can never leave Texas. I love it here, and have completely embraced everything Texas. This about sums up how I feel about TX.

I love that!
