Did you figure it out? My chickens, I raked up the pile of straw he fell over.
LOL He's not mad about it but I'm sure I will hear about it for a loooong time to come.
We have a culvert out on either side of our driveway and I don't do a lot of driving but had to back the van out and it went right into the ditch. Neighbor brought his tractor down and got the car out but I still hear about it and it's been over a year.

Next time he fusses at you about it, tell him to hush, or you'll rake another pile for him to fall over, while smiling sweetly. LOL!

Hangtown, you be careful.

I'm so happy someone took the time to watch. I'm incredibly inspired by them.

IMO, it just shows we're not very different and don't have to be angry at one another.

Thank you so much for watching Linda. Sometimes I think I waste my time for posting.

I've had a few rough days. I've been reluctant to share. My Coop fairy attempted suicide and may have been successful.

I'll miss talking to my friend if she doesn't make it.

I am sorry about your friend. I am going to watch these vids in honor of her. Matt is amazing. He could probably teach my two left feet since no one else can.

Maddy got her bandages off today and finally got to wash her hair tonight! Happy girl.

YEAH!!!!

Guy I am very sorry about your friend. Sending prayers and good vibes.


Hangtown be very careful with that fire so close!



I have changed up my feeding a little: I went back to using starter/grower as the protein is higher. I still mix in some catfish feed mix as it has cooked pork in it and I have added oats and corn to it and some show bird feed mixed into it all.
My 7 month old pullets that have been getting all the feed with out the show bird feed mixed in have been laying smaller pullet eggs compared to my 7 month old Chantecler that laid a large egg that was a bit larger than my 1 yr. old Welsumer hen's egg.
My Chantecler's have really beefed up in size since changing the feed mix also and it looks like my Buckeye cockerel has grown and added about an inch across his back.
I am also growing a mix of Boss and oats right now for the birds but will be adding some wheat in the mix soon.

Helpful hint:
Trouble seeing those tomato hornworms? Get a pair of golf ball finder glasses (they've got filter lenses). It makes the white on the worm a can't-miss-it blinding white. You'll see dazzling spots on the stalk.

So sorry about your friend. Having dealt with a couple of friends with successful suicides, yeah, it's devasating. Hopefully things turn out for the best. I wish I had better words, but the situation's still raw.

All those in CA, be safe. It's dry and you have no water, so RUN if you have to! Too bad you cannot pump the excess water from AZ's now and future floods over. (Of course, that would be quite a pipeline to get it up to Weed)

What an incredible tip. Thanks.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm married, too, so I know how it is - everything that ever happens around here is my fault.

Make him a knuckle sandwich....my mother used to have one of those mood rings. We could always tell what kind of mood she was in by looking at the divot in my dads forehead
