Chickens? What chickens? Where is deer camp?

And how much do I have to pay you to take robo with you?

So this is going to be interesting ... in the past when I have processed chickens I have hung them by their feet to work on them. At the farm I have no good place to both work and to hang. May have to do tabletop processing this time.

And I guess I'll have to leave skins on some so I'll be plucking for the first time, too. Crap, how am I ever going to keep feathers from getting all over the place?

She isn't looking for a membership for me, she's hoping for a secluded place for a shallow, unmarked grave.

Tractor Supply in Fort Oglethorpe will be having another trade day again September 20 from 10am-2pm, bring anything you like there is NO set up fee. AND we will also be having pet adoptions from Catoosa County Citizens for Animal Care, pony rides, vendor give a ways, Cornerstone Vet will be there for vaccines on animals both large and small. A $200 gift card will be given away towards dog food and a $100 rebate vet certificate will also be awarded. Local FFA will be there cooking for those who get hungry! Lots going on that day hope to see y'all there!!!

Seriously considering packing up my 5 cockerels and making the 2-hour trip north to go to this. Do y'all think I would be able to sell them all if I asked $10 a piece for them? They're all pure breeds, a Wheaten Marans, a Welsummer, two Lavender Orpingtons and a Lavender Ameraucana? I'd hate to spend the money on gas and then not break even, but I dislike selling on Craigslist even more (waiting for people to show up, and then they don't, etc.)

Here we go again! Early this morning I found two thin broken eggs that were laid on the poop tray during the night, but this time by a couple of our just turned 18 week old pullets. A few minutes ago when our Dominique in the nest box laying and a Silkie pullet (Snowy) decided they would both fit. The Silkie just moved the Dominique right over and sat right down. The Dominique (Domino) looked like she was appalled! Chickens are so funny! We only have a couple of milk crates in the barn coop. Looks like we better get finished with the large nest box set. We have at least 4 standard pullets with very red combs and 2 Silkie pullets that are also about 18 weeks old.

First Silkie egg. It almost fits through the wires on the basket.
