I'm going to try my very hardest to NOT bring anything home with me! However, if that cute hen is friendly, I don't know that I can resist.

Just had another chicken buddy awesome day. See Farninmama and her

some would say socially unacceptable

friend. She fits right in with me.

came down to get some birds from me and Mikey came out too. What a great time I had. I made a bit of a lame lunch. Farmin had to run about 1:30. I was able to distract Mike and keep him here until nearly 4:00

I enjoyed this visit SOOO much I hope the others did too.
After all were gone DW started cracking up laughing. She said she really likes FM and thinks she is soo funny! While she will say if she likes people. It is not often that on first meeting she is so forward about her feelings.

Sounds like a GREAT time! Nice day to be outside with friends

Sorry I haven't been on here in awhile. I have been having my old riding student out here for the last week or so. We ended up giving her a horse of ours because she has been the only one that this horse likes and trusts. If she comes out and helps me around our 5 acres and works the horse than she can have the horse and in return we will continue to house the horse and feed it. My student is only 15 and her mom cant afford a horse for her right now. So for the time being, she gets a horse and her mom doesn't have to pay anything for it Hanna, my student, will probably stay out here with us for the summer once we get the spare bedroom cleaned up. As for the chickens, I pretty much have almost all of them spoken for. Everyone is wanting pullets but if they take pullets, they get a cockerel as well ;-) the only way I can get rid of the cockerels unless I want to deal with people that don't speak English because I don't speak Spanish...lol. Someone is wanting 4 or 5 pullets so they will get a cockerel with those. a neighbor wants a couple pullets and a cockerel and someone is going to trade us a pair of turkeys for 3 pullets and cockerel. Ive decided that I will only keep 10 hens even though I want 12. Right now, I have 9 that are laying and my tenth one is a pullet from November's batch. She is so cute. She looks like a Dalmatian. If we find people that are wanting chickens, we may hatch out a couple batches but they will all go in the brooder/rabbit hutch with momma when they are first hatched since they will already be sold before coming out of the shell pretty much

Anyways, Ive rambled enough....

YOU ROCK!!!

X2!! What a beautiful way to help each other... great neighbors are wonderful and God's blessing!!

J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's looking like whatever I can find is what I'll get and will just hope they are broody

I want the larger breeds though, so when they stop being productive they can go to the freezer .......... Does anybody raise meat birds, or are they all used for eggs? Don't want to bum people out, by talking about meat birds....
We canceled our tv and Internet ... 3? years ago. We ended up going to radio shack and getting a $39.99 antenna and now we get Q13 fox and sometimes 5 tbn (trinity broadcasting network) channels. Works for us, as the library is close and has all the movies/shows we want.

I didn't miss it today AT ALL!!! Not sure why it took us so long to do it. Netflix doesn't have the most wonderful selection for movies but they have so many TV shows, many of which I've never attempted to watch before. Also, at $9/mo you can't beat it. I figure we can always Redbox-it if there are specific movies we want to see.

Whiski, the "girls" are doing great, minus their trust issues

I just love the purple in Crow and Raven's feathers! The one buff w/ slate legs (we may name her Ruckus

) is sure gonna be interesting when she is full grown. Can't wait to see how she matures!

Did you put any sort of sand or layer down under your path? Mine's not entirely level so we though of lining/filling in holes with sand before we lay down the path.

if you put a solid layer of sand under the flagstones, they will slide around everywhere. I had a gorgeous path like that once and made the mistake of laying a nice smooth bed of sand. Sand is okay BETWEEN, IMHO, but not much under- you need the dirt to 'glue" them down.

Cool thanks! I'll probably fill in some holes that would otherwise make it a completely BAD place to lay them down, but that's it.

Have you guys seen Chris P. Bacon yet? One of the cutest darn things, IMO!!!

that is very, very cute!

It's my son's birthday today and he was STILL not well enough to go to school, so the cupcakes went in the freezer until he can go to school and share wiht his class. Thinking he "might" be able to go to his guys social group this evening, but he was STILL too sick, so instead of their outing to Red Robin, we made Mom's version of Red Robin in- complete with mountains of fries for a growing teen. Resorting to plan "B", I decorated a miniature cake- just big enough for the 3 of us. He's a happy camper, and a real trooper, in spite of being terribly sick.

How most non-triumphant!!!!! Sorry, not sure why Bill and Ted popped into my brain

Sounds like you are doing a great job helping him to still enjoy his day!
