The Moonshiner's Leghorns

Me too! Our old Pyrenees, Waylon is 8-9 years old and starting to show his age. On cool days he still bounds around like a pup, but his teeth are wearing down, reminding us daily he is getting old. We now soak his kibble in broth or food scraps. They are getting venison scraps and kitchen scraps to go with their kibble for supper tonight. Are they spoiled? Yes they are. Do they deserve it? Yes they do.

Cute story about Waylon. He has always been a huge ham for attention. One year one of his dew claws grew to the point that it was almost in his skin, not in it but almost. It was causing him annoyance and he limped around. I clipped it and loved on him extra. He then precedes to fake limp every time he wants us to give him attention. Once you give him attention, he stops limping. He is a goofball. lol

Awwwwww that is adorable LOL

Our last dog had to be put down at only 6 1/2 because he had an autoimmune disorder.

Decided I'd better get on with unloading my extra Call Ducks. Went through them and picked out 2 hens, 4 drakes and the 5 juveniles that hatched a bit back to let go.
Put up a couple ads and BOOM let the games begin. By the next morning I had 11 different people reply and some had a few replies Wasn't asking a ton for them so kind of expected a mess but figured might get them out the door quicker.
Went down the list and about the 3rd person was serious and wanted to come take a look.
Only 10 minutes late and they snagged a pair and 2 juvies. Not a bad start. This might not be so bad. Wrong, everyone else will flakes and beating around the bush. Two were interested but one backed out about time we set up a time and the other was a no show.
I hate selling stuff.
Day and a half on that and I only sold four so far.

Eggs in lockdown and going over final inspection for my next juvenile pen. Snake proofing is a b**** but hopefully the cold coming will lessen that threat.
Probably move 3 or 4 brooders worth over to that pen Wednesday.
Getting to be that time. Need to scramble to try and get chicks hatched for breeding plans next year. Make the dreaded cuts to adult birds to make room for grow outs.
At least after some older birds move on I can start to admiring the grow outs and the potential definite keepers. Just can't admire them to hard or they'll surely be the ones not to make it to spring.
I feel the seasonal changing coming soon. Fall isn't long enough here and winter is too long.
