If anybody is really dying to hatch, I have duck eggs. They are all running together though- nice wine-bottle chocolate runners, Holderread's anconas and assorted calls. Takes me a couple days to make up a dozen.

I still have drakes available too. Almost wish somebody could process them for me, but they are so pretty. I have been dying to try duck fat fries. They are supposed to be the best.

I have eggs too.....chickens though. I always have new layers coming online in the fall so I have eggs throughout the year.

I do need to finish my culling down. I got rid of another 30+ roos yesterday. I have a few more pullets sold today and Saturday. I sill have one brooders box I need to inventory and sell some pullets.

I need to move the new Marans that are laying somewhere to clean them out.

need to finish getting ready for winter too but this house is taking ALL my extra time. yesterday I had to figure out a 3way light the handyman took apart and DIDNT LABLE ANYTHING he worked on it for most of yesterday and I fixed it in about 3 hours after many many test.

Well we got some bad news the other day. My DH's cancer has come back. I don't think we are real worried at this point the Dr. feels it is very treatable with an oral medication at this time,but... I will be downsizing to cut the feed bill. You all know what medical bills can be like. I have not made any final decisions yet as to who leaves and who stays, but if anyone is interested I would rather they go to people I know will love and care for them. You all know how attached we can get to our birds . I also have a couple of mini pigs that may go too.

Well I lost my first chicken, and only blue egg layer, to a predator today-- actually my husband ( greatest in the world!!) found it this morning. Since there is No coop damage he thinks that after i let the girls free range and cleaned the coop, it slipped in from the barn. What's weired is the other chickens did not seem upset with that huge opossum ( husband killed with an ax, country boy, he thinks it's huge), in a nest box--sleeping! any way I wanted to know, DMrippy if I could get some blue egg layers chicks from you in spring?

City girl happy to getting back out in the country and yes love it out here!!! Got the last post in for the bigger animals fence had to use a jack hammer still didn't reach the bottom of it. Oh and took my great pyraneese to the vet bad news heart worm but have him on meds so eventually will all go away. Wish I didn't have to give him up the last 2 yrs dang xDH. That's ok on the road to recovery. The vet place said he was the best mannered and friendliest great pyraneese they have seen

But when I got home from work yesterday I noticed some water by the road.... Water leaking at the meter. You know of course it was on our side water guy turned water off and I asked for someone he knew could fix it. He gave me the name if co worker he said ah tomorrow @430. WHAT? I have no water for a day and 175 bill. I have 2 kids I gotta have water. So my awesome fiancé checked it out eventually got the piece out we went to lowes rednecked some pieces together with the help of a worker there so for a whopping 12.00 and 2 hrs work we had water again!!! You never realize how important things are till you don't have them!
