I think I just ended up hunting for some frostbite

But the original plan was turkey.

All that is being planned for in May is a picnic/pot-luck meal for the day. If you can come then I wouldn't have any problems with setting things up here in town. Eenie only gets to town once in awhile, otherwise she lives in Missouri, so she is the member of the day for this get together. She also thinks that she can get Kooshie to show up for this also.

JB make sure you remind me about 1 week before...I will bring a big salad (Home grown) & probably with prawns or oysters like last time.

I will remind you and everyone here within a week before. The salad sounds yummy.

I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination but in my observation of the thousand bantie army that held the farm for a couple of decades, hens stop caring much about what their chicks get up to at about the time they start to exhibit clear secondary sexual characteristics/ at the time the hen gains back sufficient weight to set another clutch of eggs. These were pure feral mutt banties, with a high fraction of game fowl genetics, so take that observatio with a big chunk of salt.

Also, in case you haven't observed this already: evil grammarians are made to diagram my sentences in Hell.

Evil grammarians do indeed grab us all by the vocal cords from time to time here....sometimes the evil Hillbilly grammarians arise forth from their dusty coffins, and grab several of us by the brain stem......it is usually right around Cocktail hour...........................

So if I admit to being a Norwegian Hillbilly, will it explain what wrong with me?

I think that the most important thing you have missed is all the new friend that are now here. I am delighted that you are back.

Hi!

Hi! Have fun with the Seramas. They are wonderful little birds. We might have to talk sometime. Wenatchee is much warmer than Chelan right now....brr. How many Seramas are you planning on getting?

At this point we are getting a trio. We figured this was a good place to start. I already have 10 laying (large girls) hens and 1 banty roo and 1 banty hen...13 chicks...25 orp eggs to arrive tomorrow to stick in the incubator...yeah, I have gotten a whole lot in a short period of time. All extras (whoever does not sell) by fall will be in the freezer (without DH or DD knowing). They will "magically" have all sold to someone. I will have my 3 or 4 banties, the Seramas, and my big girls for laying....so even there we are talking approx 12 layers/1 big roo; 2 or 3 banty hens/1 banty roo; and trio of seramas. How many does that make? 20 birds going into next winter? I'm nuts aren't I?

Not any crazier than me.
