Here I'll share some pictures with you!!

Eggs we collected last night: thinking that the upper right one is from our Blue Copper Marans pullet:

Our 2 baby chicks- they are half sibling to the 2 cuckoo Marans that TO took home. They are just about 1 month old

those are some really YOUNG chicks.. LOL

I'm too slow, you already fixed it..

saw my egg picture twice

, yep every so often I hit the wrong keys and it goofs things up

I noticed with this batch of babies since they were raised not in my kitchen this time around(drives the Irish Setter nuts and she tried to get them) they are not as friendly as batches we raised in the past.

Told DH that I was planning on double crating the next hatch of chicks, he told me that I should fix the dog problem 1st- she is already in a heavy duty crate

Shanti, I mostly hate hwy W too.

We're right next to the school, but people still get up to almost 55 past our house. And you can bet if I ever witnessed anyone swerving for one of my critters, I'd go run 'em off the road myself!

Guess what? I just saw the escapee quail! Sitting on a pile of grass behind the coop. Now, ever try catching a fist-sized brown bird in a half-acre of 5-ft tall grass? Mission: Impossible, farm style!

Jim, I'm trying your idea of putting out it's buddy in a crate to lure it in again.

Forgot to say, yes Jim I have coturnix too. A Jumbo brown and a Tibetan tuxedo, from quailladyoffortmyers.

Amy, I fogot to ask you something: I will need to buy some chicken eggs from you some day. My DBF is ALLERGIC TO DUCK EGGS!

Yup, the joke's on me! He gets really sick, even on something that has only a little egg in it, like a batch of cookies.

Or maybe, just maybe, I might have to get a chicken or two.

Glad you found your little lost birdie!

Funny how that worked hey? What about YOU? Are you going to come? Actually that park is clear across town to the West and I am 4 miles to the East...hmmm, about 7 miles?

I am having BACON for lunch....kind of a late lunch but...
Jim--are there albino quail? Ones with the PINK eyes? I do not care for rabbits with pink eyes...cant imagine quail! Mine has a black spot on the top of it's head.
Well I cam in cause it looked like it would rain...now the sun is coming back out...there is still LOTS of mud though. How long would it take you to drive your tractor over here with the back blade on?

OK--back outside! I have to finish picking the garden--again. Terri O

Ahh haaaa! Caught the wayward quail!

Next year's project: mow down all jungle grass within 100 foot of coop.

Shanti, DBF... dear boy friend??

Just say when and I'll save a dozen for ya. I actually got eggs this week to the next person on my waiting list. One more name after that, too.... love it! C'mon pullets, let's go.

Friend Casey is having his back surgery right now...waiting for an update...

Hey TO I go to Madison on the 14th so going back to Lake Mills on Saturday is another 170 trip from Racine where I will be staying. I'm coming down to Racine on the 13th 250 miles, 200 mile round trip on Friday to Madison and back to Racine then it would be another 170 round trip to Lake Mills and back. Then Monday I go to Kenosha in the Morning then Milwaukee in the afternoon

Well FT...what you could do is stay at my place overnight!

Then it would be a short drive to the bash...and you could go to Carol's from there and save yourself about 200 miles! Do I have to think of EVERYTHING???

So I wanted to make a pork roast and squash, mashed and gravy and some veggies tonight for dinner; I have a superintendent "thank you" dinner! DAM^! I think I will make the roast anyhow and then come home and eat...at least I know I wont get glutened then. I really dont care to go anywhere but I already RSVPed.
Better get that squash in....later. Terri O​
