Strawberry box was finished yesterday (painted) set in place today, 3/4 yard of top soil and 15 plants from a friend who grows fat, sweet berries. Oh yeah!

LOL my EE Eagle does the same dang thing. We just built a temp run for them so the kids could play on their slide without chicken poo all over it... Well Eagle flies out n goes n lays her eggs in the outdoor bunny cage then she goes back in the run... Found 11 eggs yesterday in there when I was putting the bunny out there!

They are funny, huh ?
Did you ever hear about my hen back when I was in my 20s (a hundred years ago) that would ONLY lay in my washing machine, which was on the back porch...and she got really vocal and raging mad & SCREAMED in the back screen door if the washer lid was down~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I had to be vigilant as to not put clothes in the washer without checking for her, or her egg~~~~~~~~~~

Depends on breed. Some have the spur bump from hatch, others develop them and there are a few breeds that don't get spurs.

See, that's how much I knew. I thought ALL breeds of roos got spurs. I also figured they would be rather obvious, especially by a few weeks old. So I kept looking at my girls feet and not seeing any spurs growing and assumed they were all pullets. Are there any big breeds that don't grow spurs? As of now all my girls have little combs, and no wattles. I'm guessing, at this point being almost 7 weeks old that I would know if I had a roo by now.

Got my new fishin license today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK back in a minute~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have netting/wire over the springs? That could be a possible entry point for predators. I couldn't see in the pic if there was or wasn't.

As of now there isn't netting over the springs. I haven't figured out how to attatch the netting to the surface without damaging it. And they aren't in there unless I'm outside or sitting by the sliding doors that view the backyard. Any suggestions for how to get netting on there without damaging the trampoline integrity I'm open to hearing. Otherwise, it's going to be open around the springs and I will just have to keep an eye on them.

Time for a grin

Two women were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one looks at the other and says, 'I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland.'

The other woman responds proudly, 'Yes, I sure am!'

The first one says, 'So am I! And where about in Ireland are ya from?'

The other woman answers, 'I'm from Dublin, I am.'

The first one responds, 'So, am I!! And what street did you live on in Dublin ?'
The other woman says, I lived on Warbury Street in the old central part of town.'

The first one says, 'Faith, and it's a small world. So did I! So did I! And what school did ya go to?'

The other woman answers, 'Well now, I went to Holy Heart of Mary, of course..'
The first one gets really excited and says, 'And so did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?'

The other woman answers, 'Well, now, let's see. I graduated in 1964.'

The first woman exclaims, 'The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same pub tonight! Can you believe it? I graduated from Holy Heart of Mary in1964 me self!'

About this time, Michael walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Michael shaking his head and mutters, 'It's going to be a long night.'
Michael asks, 'Why do you say that, Brian?'

Brian answers, 'The Murphy twins are drunk again.'

Quote:

I was told from the breeder that I have from (left to right) a salmon favrolle, cuckoo maran, americauna, light sussex, black cochin, and a mottled java. Nice to get to know some more neighbors. We are new to the area.

Just FYI it is Faverolle and Ameracauna. Notice there is NO I in Ameracauna.

Actually, it's Salmon Faverolles, and Cukoo Marans (even for singular)
And once again

I shall return to my corner. I knew the S on Faverolles I just slipped and over looked it. Guess I better just ST*U and go back to packing for the Show!!
