Awe! Hopefully yours don't EAT your tree like mine are and give it back to me in nasty ways LOL!
I have never understood our cats fascination with fake flowers and trees!!!

Oh same here...but security of knowing they are warm, integrating with the bigs and less mess for me in the garage is worth a few power cords!

Oh my DH would LUV to come decorate the tree then! Perhaps that's what I should turn on!?! Lolol!

I'm so glad it's back on for yall!!! I'm sure you did work up a sweat doing all those chores too!

@kurby22 are those all your babies you took to the show?! OMGeeze you have some beautiful babies!!! They are just perfect! I hate you didn't have any competition with your d'Anvers though! They are stunning!
What breed is this one?! View attachment 3340519

@TropicalBabies what a busy productive day you had! I'm so glad your bags are doing so well! And another stand too!!!
Oh Batman is a sight! I've never seen one sleep like that all sprawled out on the belly! Just adorable!!!


Hey yall chicken sitter wants to "talk" with me today! I was just gonna get my keys and give her the $...I don't wanna have words. I hate controversy! And it's my neighbor too!
We oughta start a pool where we rotate going to each other's places so we can all take vacays and know our babies are luved and cared for while we are gone!!! But guess that wouldnt work so well cuz then whoever is taken care of another's babies would need someone to take care their babies! Ugh!
God send us a luving good chicken sitter please!

I would for sure love to send power out there but that is just so far. When we build the garage though, it will have power. So we will be able to run power to the chickens then. At least WAY easier than 4 extension cords connected together.

I hope that the “talk” goes the way you want it too! Good luck with it! And I agree we all need a really good, trusted chicken sitter!

Added pine straw and leaves to their hoop coop. Seems wasn't but a minute before it was all patted down by the Bubble Bunch.

Anywho, looka my Flippy, the roo frizzle cockarel; ain't he cute as can be? One day I will get a reallll good photo of my chickens . . . one day. But for real, he is cute!

Actually, can see the feral cockerel behind the buff toward the saw horse.

So I said the green egg came from Diamond, but it was actually a different Easter Egger…Butterscotch. It throw me today because she was in a box. I thought well, I should know by the end of the day. She hasn’t shown ANY interest of the nest boxes. Not letting the cockerel get her, which I try to tell him that he isn’t all that and needs to be more romantic…he won’t listen though . Anyway it was her egg the other day. Diamond is still checking out the nest boxes though so maybe she will soon.

Oh thank you Kurby! Made my night I love Aria's shirt terrific.
What lovely chickens and what a fun time. Your husband is sure fun to go along with your crazy chicken antics
What a pal!
Keeping my good thoughts on your little lovely. I'm sorry it has been so hard on her and you all ♡

Haha my husband is definitely a saint for putting up with me and all my chickens Asha is still alive but not well. She seems like she can’t make sounds anymore and is having troubles breathing. I will give her a couple days on Tetracyline before I decide to do something more permanent. :-( I don’t want to prolong her misery because I can’t let go.

We went to see the Hearst Castle today and then went to the beach. The Ranch as Hearst called it…is INSANE. It is 100% worth seeing if you are ever in Central Coast California. Car smells like a chicken coop and the chickens would crow and people would look all around trying to figure out where the crowing was coming from Ruby dances around so much he kept triggering the car alarm too. We finally just left the car unlocked

Anyway, thought I’d share some pics from The Ranch (250,000+ acres). The main home is 69,000+sq ft and has over 160 rooms. He had his own private zoo, and his home is now a legit museum—the house is made from art pieces from around the world and even has a ceiling that was made before Columbus discovered America that he bought in auction in the 20s from Spain I think? I have never seen anything like it in the US, only Europe. Real statues and Roman columns from Italy and France, tapestries that the Louvre has copies of in France cuz the originals are hung in the Castle. So amazing

We also stopped at an elephant seal viewing area and watched the silly looking creatures for awhile. They remind me of my Frenchie, lots of rude noises and lazy!

Also thanks to all of you (especially @ChicksnMore @Shetland lover and @PopoMyers) for the info about Tetracycline and Erythromycin I did not know Tetra could go bad, so that will be filed away now! Thank you

Hope the weather warms up over there. Any snowman builders at your place?

Warmer? This cold is just the beginning of what they think La Niña will bring this winter. All my snowman builders are grown up. No grands young enough.

@kurby22 I visited Hearst Castle way back in the early 80's with my folks. Quite a beautifully furnished Castle. While down that way, also went to Solvang, a Dutch or Swiss town.

Well, found a cracked water pipe today, probably from the freezing temps. It had thawed and was spraying water. I heard water running hard through a pipe when I returned home from church, and had to investigate. Turned off valve that feeds the 8 spigots along my garden, one of which was for the chooks auto water supply. Told DH he could wait until Spring to fix it. I'll just check and refill their bucket. They always seem to rather drink mud water or poop tea. Why??????
