The Front Porch Swing

My husband is such an enabler. He asked me a few days ago whether I was getting Buckeyes, because he knew I wanted them last year. I told him I really hadn't looked for any this year. About 15 minutes later he told me I was getting 15 Buckeyes this week. He ordered them from a hatchery in WI. He was so proud of himself that I didn't tell him I didn't want hatchery birds. Oh well, I will pick the best to breed and maybe find some from a better line. Tomorrow we need to build another brooder as both of mine are full and I don't think the older ones are ready for the growout pen yet.
Clara the cow is still out but coming into the pasture deeper every day. Maybe she will be confined by next week. I hope she does soon because we locked the Great Pyr in the kennel with the puppy and she is not a happy camper.
You know I was holding out for breeder Wellsummers. I simply couldnt afford them. I bought from a recommended hatchery and I wasnt disappointed. Yeh there were a few That could have been culled.... But I hat ONE outstandingly beautiful roo and just about all of the hens were sturdy and very good looking..... Out of 25 birds I had about 20 keepers.

I am moving 30 miles north of Green Bay, 30 miles south of where I grew up.
First time to Lambaugh Field was last fall when we were house hunting. :)

Green Bay brings back old memories. I married in '68 and that was all I heard for several years. Green Bay Packers!!!
