If I can manage..... To get up at 6am i want to try to hit the woods.
I missed another 4 day season for Vets last weekend. I suppose I should have read the rules.....

Wasn't that Little Jack Horner ?

Oh...

Was LJH pouting too?

Maybe that's what was going on... group therapy moment, maybe?

Howdy, all. I am back at home, back at work, getting back in the groove. Being away from the farm for six weeks left things in quite a turmoil. I am more than a hundred pages behind so rather than trying to catch up, I'll just drop in as I can and kind of get back into the mix.

My chickens grew up while I was away. I am now getting near-gray eggs, small pointy whites, BCM coffee brown, blues and greens, and plenty of browns. All the loud roosters are gone, and the Sulmtaler rooster is king of the coop but the Ayam Cemani is the back door man. The Spitzhauben roosters get beat up by the production red hens so I don't think they are getting much action in there. And the Naked Necks still "just ain't right" in my eyes.

A few pics:


















The turkeys are doing great. I have one young tom over 30 pounds and several in the 20+ range. I have 46 in all and will keep six hens and two toms for next season, and OG and Sonny are the boys making the cut. Three of the four old hens will stay on, and will be joined by three of the younger ones. Two of the young hens are 15 pound Narragansetts from Sonny and the other is one of the whites that came out of one of OG's gals.

Now to sell the rest...

And we adopted one of my parents' dogs as five were too many for my mom. Frankie is six years old, his mom is a mini Pinscher and Corgi mix (looks like a mini pin with a body like a tank and short legs) and his dad was an Australian Cattle Dog. He's camo colored and very affectionate. He was in a highly competitive situation and now has just Mosey and us to deal with. And he's on an exercise program to trim him down.

Hi Walnut! welcome home! Welcome to the new pooch and hope things settle down for you a bit. Would still love to swing by one day and check out the place-you have some beautiful birds and glad you like the pond!!

Good luck!! Shoot a big one!

Didn't get to go. Came home and my hen Cocoa was worse. Decided tonight was the night to put her down.

Such a pretty little thing.

Thanks ladies. She was a precious, gorgeous one. I've got 2 young chocolate pullets (not from Cocoa) that I hope grow up even half as pretty and petite as she was.
