I am meeting a lady i know to sell $200 worth of chickens tomorrow. That will be a good start.
I found a tick on Sunny today. They never seem to quit.

Enjoy any choice you make there @CapricornFarm

Yes, looking forward to digging in the gem mine.

Yes, i am tired of doing chores all day. And would like to go more places.

It's a hard decision to make isn't it? I'm not getting rid of my birds. Marek's disease prevents me from doing that but I made the decision not to hatch this year in order to cut back on my work load. I was planning to hatch a few birds this coming spring but now in light of the diagnosis of diverticulitis/diverticulosis I'm taking a wait and see attitude about things. I see the GI next week and then have the stomach endoscopy on Dec 13th. Time will tell as they say.

One thing not hatching has given me time to do is get to know my flock better and enjoy them more. I reduced my flock size by 9 birds this year, losing several to injury, one to water belly and 5 roosters that I butchered due to aggressiveness to other birds. I'd like to reduce it down more to lighten my work load also. So I understand how you feel.

Do you have antibiotics on hand to take if you find a tick embedded?

I think i do. If not, i will get some called in.

I keep not wanting to sell my birds, but i really don't want to be tied down all the time. We could do day trips, or even for a few days.
Lots of places i would like to go.

Besides, the favorites always die. Had a bird killed last night by a rat! It chewed the head off and tried to drag the bird down the tunnel!!!

Got chickened out and we looked forward to having a seafood dinner tonight. At the last moment dh said, do you know what I'm really hungry for? Your chicken noodle soup... But he had that last evening.. and the evening before that ..and the evening before that!
As he says, we don't need special food for birthdays and holidays- just being together is special. And we can eat a special meal whenever we feel like it
