Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I’ve got a Polish with a nasty break. Frankie & I couldn’t fix it & she’s been severely deformed for the last couple months. I thought I’d have to put her down, but she hobbles around, still eats & drinks & seems okish. She can’t roost, or maneuver the ramp, but the Poles are in that little prefab away from the rest of the flock & we don’t mind picking her up to put her in/out of the coop in the morning & at night. She’s actually my favorite of the 3 Polish we have, super sweet & hobbles to the door when she sees me. I don’t know what the future looks like for this bird. If she were with the general flock it probably wouldn’t work.

I like to start my day with a good cup of coffee and usually go to bed after my favorite adult beverage.

In between waking and sleeping, I enjoy chatting with friends about chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, and all our fine feathered friends. And even our 4 legged furry friends!

So I thought I would start my own thread where friends can get together, share stories and pictures (I love pics!) about pretty much anything going on in our lives. Even "real work", if we must. My only preference is to avoid politics and religion. Those usually just start arguments and/or hard feelings and this should be an enjoyable retreat!

So.... a few things that I like: Hatching!! Basically anything that can come out of an egg. I'm an admitted hatch-aholic, with no desire to change at this point. So far, I have hatched ducks, turkey, bantam chickens, large fowl chickens, and quail. I also enjoy learning about taking care of these animals and all that goes with that! I like selling eggs and chicks, and hope to someday make more of a business of this thing that I have fallen in love with over the past year or so.

But besides chickens (et. al.), which takes up a lot of my time now, I also enjoy sewing, quilting, woodworking, building stuff, cars, guns, hunting, fishing, photography, cooking, gardening, movies, television, windows, sludge, gutters, frogs, monkeys, and squirrels! just to name a few things. (Oh look... squirrel!)...

Oh, where was I? I got lost, but that's nothing new to those who know me.

Anyway, feel free to paddle on out to the middle where the bar is, or hang out on the bank and watch. Just please don't try walking on the water. It may look solid, but its probably not.

I have a long arm quilter. Could you teach me how to use it. Thanks in advance either way.

Nope. Stupid but the real deal. The person that took the pic is a member in my Wisconsin chicken group. She used to live in the town, now she lives a few miles away in a tinier town. Her daughter goes by that corner almost every day. They couldn't move the sign because it belonged to the state and they couldn't move the sidewalk because of property clearances etc. They were under a time crunch and the DOT said the sign had to remain where it was sooooooooo, they did what they had to do to finish the job. Trust me, that's not the first time that kind of crazy has been done by one of our towns vs. county/state.
