Good morning Sharron :)


Not bad thanks Cap, it's my Saturday off and I have some gardening to do. What are you doing today?
First I slept in. Then a nice hot bath. After breakfast, I hope to work on the pallet run. I start late, but then work until dark or later.
 
morning cap:frow
have no idea what husband will want to do today, pretty nippy so i do know he won't won't want to play around outside, just going to wing it
and what do you have planned?


so wish i could do some gardening but my gardening is over for a few months
I need to clean out the stuff in my truck, 2 bags of concrete and a 29 gallon fish tank. Tomorrow I go buy feed.
 
I'm pretty good - thanks for asking. Yesterday at TSC they had $5/bag off on dog feed so I stocked up. Wrenched my back loading that stuff in the truck. Hurt pretty bad last night, but not so bad today.
You should make them load it at TSC. Unloading it at home is more than enough effort. I always get help, even if I have to wait.
 
I know right!? About time :lau

It’s an assortment from Meyer Hatchery so could be anything!

But thankfully they stamp the eggs with a breed code and include a handy dandy little chart with the codes and breed names so you can figure out what breeds you have!

I got a great variety! 8 different breeds in only 13 eggs! :D

And they included an extra egg! :D

So far I know for sure that I have 2 Black Australorp, 2 Welsummer, 2 Rhode Island Red, a Barred Rock, a Buff Orpington, a Lavender Orpington, a Blue Andalusian, and an Easter Egger.

Some of the eggs were pretty smudged and I couldn’t really make them out.

One of the RIRs was pretty smudged too but the letters were still mostly readable/distinguishable so I was able to figure out I had a second RIR.

The other two, I’m really not sure.

One of them only one letter is smudged so I was able to figure out that I had a third Orpington but not what type as the key letter distinguishing them is not readable haha

I think it might be another Lav though as it kind of looks like the other Lav egg.

The other egg is most likely another Blue Andalusian but it could also be a Light Brown Leghorn or a Black Sumatra. It’s a white egg and after looking it up, those are the only 3 white egg layers on the list. But the others are more rare I think so it’s probably another Blue Andalusian which is fine with me. It’s a different shape though but that could just be different hens.

ANYWAY.

Sorry for rambling.

I got a great variety and I’m super excited haha





Same here :hit

Glad about the no snow though.

But man is it cold :hit

That sounds like a great mix! I can't wait to see pics when you have babies.

I think so!! I was so surprised too cause I read sometimes in winter the variety is less but not true in my case!! I’m so excited about the Lav Orp! Haha

And I will definitely be posting pics!! :D

Also I know what you mean but if someone didn’t that last sentence could also sound like you meant human kids :lau in which cause you might be waiting a very long time :lau :oops:

I also got a couple of bales of grass hay at the local feed mill. I had someone load them into my truck. Staff reaction, "YOU are asking for help." My reply, "This old man is hurting." We all laughed.
 
Hello everyone, I'm back!

Sour, sorry to hear about your back. The Midway movie was very good...sure made me think of my dad (he was a Navy gunner in the Pacific). The theater was really nice, it had big comfy recliners :D Good thing the movie was loud or I could have taken a nap.

Sharron, your trip down south is coming right up! That will be nice for you to escape the cold.

DMC, beautiful photo!
 
Building a quick run. Painting the pallets takes the most time.
