Hi, I have a rooster (5-6mo) that I would love to rehome rather than send him to freezer camp.
This pic is from Oct 2016. I will take a current pic tomorrow; I just wanted to get this post done tonight.
He is 50% Silver Grey Dorking and 50% White Am.
I live 60 liles south of CDA, ID and Spokane, WA


He has filled out and matured nicely since this picture. sorry its blurry.
I will take better pics tomorrow.

Sorry Have one about the same age I intend for freezer camp used him just enough but now need

to give the girls a rest

We took our Great Pyrenees LGD on a date tonight and she was rather fond of this guy so we should have puppies in a couple months.

The snow is almost gone here. Been able to let the chickens out into the yard more this week.
The tamest chickens I have are my speckled Sussex. But one of them fights me every time I reach to pet her. What's up with that? She doesn't run away and she lets me pick her up but she bites my hand when I reach for her.

She may just need glasses.

Spring is starting here. The alders are starting to leaf out

Hazelnuts are just about ready to pop...and then the hungry hungry bees will completely cover the trees again................if they survived that cold spell anyways.......

I was trying to get a bit of pruning done today. I'm running out of time. I can at least get to the trunks of the two trees that need it the worst now. I screwed up my elbow so I think the sawsall is getting (carefully) used instead of my pruning saw this time.

Blueberries are showing swelling buds !

understand that lower lumbar in my back seizes or knees so pick my battles carefully
going to do 4 raised gardens this years and tires stacked 3 high for potatoes

IF I get any potatoes that are sprouting (usually nice ones organic from Costco that have no anti-growth chemicals on them) I toss them in a empty feed bag, and a few shovels of dirt, and keep going til almost full...then start another bag.
When you need potatoes, dump out a bag.
I usually do not dump any out unless I need some, cuz they just keep growing...and with the compost we make here, the spuds are beautiful and get huge fast.
