Very pretty C, hoping the same for YOU and YOUR Family.

Well, I can always use more hatching eggs if that would be of help?

Sorry about your BIL and the alcohol created stupidity between him and your sister. Hopefully your sister will bring the boys over to see you tomorrow.

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

The Anconas are laying pretty good now. I just haven't been getting to them quick enough in the morning before they freeze. I've been fighting a nasty chest cold that has had me off for a week now. On antibiotics now but this has been going around the whole town and seems to stick with you for 2 weeks.

How many you want? I will suck it up and get out there early for you if you want some.

I did have a couple runners laying, then bobcat got one of my girls before I put them up one night. At the time I thought an owl got her but found her feathers on the bobcat trail and read that the bobcats are most active right at or before sundown to midnight and then again a few hours before sunrise. So I suspect they got her when I got in late one night and didn't get them shut up til 10:00pm. The young girl was laying good for a while even after that and just recently has taken a break. I've noticed the exhibition quality runners are less productive than the lower quality runners. Thinking about bringing in some new stuff from Holderread to see if he has had any luck increasing production on them in the past 5 years. I don't want to lose the quality of runner I have right now but I also think egg production is equally important.

One place was not so I'm down to looking at seeing if I can manage to come up with the money for the show quality pastel silkie drake or come up with enough chicks from this hatch to do a trade with some Marans and Silkie chicks. He also had a hen that had to go with the deal but his price is a bit high on them which he is probably adding the shipping from Holderread on to get the price that he is at so if I can come up with enough on trade then I will be getting him and the hen.
We love you too Marty

Merry Christmas everyone. My Christmas plans were slightly ruined when my sisters husband turned monster on her and her three boys (2 months, 2 years, and 5 years old). He and she need to leave alcohol alone but he has a serious issue with it. You know how it goes though it's all her fault she provoked him and it would have never happened if she would have just left him alone blah blah blah. We were not raised to take crap from anyone but here she is again because this happened only 1 1/2 years ago. Now it's really starting to show on my nephews and it just breaks my heart. Christmas dinner was planned to be done at her house so now no Christmas dinner. Not sure when the boys will be able to come back and open presents. We are having New years at the cowboy church. Nothing like surrounding yourself with good people to help take your mind off of all the negative that happens. You all have a great Christmas and a wonderful New year! Let's all make 2013 a great year...... I know I have some things to do different the first is going to be beefing up security on all of our chicken and duck yards including the perimeter around them all plus get a couple new yards built ASAP. Oh don't think I've shown him to you guys yet but we got us a new LGD. He is not much yet but one day he will be. He is 25% Anatolian 75% Pyrenees.

Sorry about all the family stuff going on. Hope things work out there for everyone. Cute pup you have, I love him. I hope he does his job well when he grows up.

This is Chicken Crazy 12 I have a new account now because Chicken Crazy 12 was my moms account that I kind of hijacked. Anyway I decided I should just make my own account. Coyote Night because our farm is Coyote Night Acres. So not new here, but just wanted to let ya'll know it's Me.

Like the name change.

Thanks, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Julie!

Christmas was great! Not only did we get to have a nice Christmas dinner (Thanks to my wonderful mom rushing at the last minute to get food to prepare) but I also got to see my beautiful nephews and give them all their gifts. I got my first rifle

a brand new 22. Yes I know I'm redneck for getting all excited about that, but proud to be one. Now I have my own to take care of possums and coons around this place. Christmas was saved at the last minute so I'm very happy about that. The whole family minus the jerk was there and we all had a wonderful time. I hope the rest of you have had as nice of a Christmas as my family and I have.

Happy to hear all worked out for good and your family was together. We also had a nice day, ate too much but enjoyed the company of my dh ,dad and son. plus gave special treats to the flock...

and congrats on the rifle, we have a 22 loaded and ready if we need it, haven't had to use it for a long time though thank goodness.

A Blessed Christmas to all. Very nice card you posted Celtic.
