Morning OF. Sitting here waiting on the nurse to show up and do her thing, the out to the back 40 or somewhere to get something done after feeding the kids. It's overcast and fairly mild (78). Won't stay that way too long.
TodayFri 07/09 High 88 °F

24% Precip. / 0.00 in
Cloudy skies. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 88F. Winds light and variable.

At least it will be cloudy so can't be too sweat and hotty outside.

Anyone know what color feet Black Astrolorps have? I swear the two BSL pullets that TSC sold me look more like BAs than BSLs.

@CSolis, are you sure your endocrinologist doesn't know my first rheumatologist? What a cluster er you know. Glad you got it figured out and I sincerely hope that you don't have to wait an outrageous amount of time due to their error.

Well it's been one of those days here. Went to dump offerings from the chicken coop around a tree that needed fertilizing and noticed that my peach tree had a broken limb on it. Thought maybe it was taken in one of those storms we had. Nope. Got closer, it is a big limb along with sever other smaller. Plus about 80% of the small crop I was looking forward to was on the ground. They weren't even half ripe. Yep, raccoon did the damage. Looks like it broke the limbs to get to the peaches, chewed the small areas that were ripe off of them and discarded the green.

Needless to say made me royally pissed. I could tolerate the the loss of the crop but the tree is badly damaged and I am not sure it will survive. I've been babying it since it was a just a twig. It was an Alberta freestone that I got for free when we purchased the trees in our orchard from Stark Bros. For two years I didn't think it was going to survive. Then prune, let it alone, prune, let it alone. Pretty much bummed me out for the rest of the afternoon.

Mr Raccoon is going to wherever raccoons go when I cant it. In the meantime DH is constructing an electric fence to go around the orchard. Looks like they are starting to hit the apple trees too.

I am sorry about the tree!

The bottoms of the feet are pinkish white. Jersey Giants are white to yellow. BSL hens will usually have some red in the shoulders.

Good morning, OF - have a great day.
