Oldmomma, are you saying your husband is working in Colorado and you are in Libya? That would be hard. Do you have relatives in Georgia, USA? Just wondered how you found our thread. I see you on the Naked Neck thread. I also have NNs. Mine lay green eggs and I love the uniqueness of them! Here are some of my babies! Some are frizzled.





My kids call this naked neck "Toupee"

Toupee looks like a lavender orp from the chest down. Very pretty bird
 
Flowerbh long story short, we lived in Colorado 26 yrs. My mothers line is from Tattnall County, Georgia and im pretty much the family genealogist. I was born in Sanford but was raised in Geneva, Florida. After the war in 2011 in Libya, we moved back so he could be reunited with his family after 32 yrs in exile. He returned to USA to pack our belongings, we were going to leave the house to my oldest daughter to live in but it fell through on her end. While he was there with our second son, my oldest son was killed leaving me alone with 3 daughters. It forced my second son to return here just as he was planning college. Hubby went back, suffered a heart attack which disabled him more, he was in a car accident 22 yrs ago. He sells cars and has been with them 15 yrs so they work it out. We never had much and flights are costly and long. I live in a newly wed apartment in the family home. My mil and fil on main level, bil with wife and 3 small kids on the second, we got 3rd floor which amounts to 6 flights of stairs my husband cant climb. So im looking for another place. Since I have no rights to anything here I use my balcony and rooftop to house my animals and my bits of garden plants. Im looking to put a greenhouse on the roof if we dont find a house soon. Its not easy but its like living in the south, lots of godly minded folk and EVERYONE is related to you for miles lol. So im the american woman married to Hajj Abdulsalams son who left long ago with the daughter who LOVES dogs! Talk of the town lol. Reminds me of when daddy use to take us to Bear Lake, Idaho every summer we would make town news. So yeah Georgia seemed as good a place as any and I hoped to run across some cousins too. Seems like there isnt anyone from that neck of Georgia ive found yet here. So while I wait for hubby to be done there and find someone who can help escort him home im trying to raise some chickens so we can have eggs and meat supply. Lol guess that wasnt really short but not being around much folks my only chatting is online.
 
My sil has a frizzle maybe I can talk her into an egg trade later, her roo looks like the typical red with black tail feathers you see in the states so they should be interesting and I could get a lovely NN frizzle at some point too. But for now 17 birds is enough. My bil has geese and hes offered me baby goats we named jar jar binks cause of their long ears. Friend with turkeys so its just a matter of finding a house. I bought 4 kilos of hamburger and 6 kilo of chicken breast at the butcher shop yesterday cost me 64 dinars for 3wks of meat. Eggs run 4.50 for a flat of 30 eggs. Food is relatively cheap here but quality is another matter. Think of butchers meat hanging by a hook on the store front, we're not far off. Some stuff you can get frozen but if a power goes out they just let it refreeze. If I cant see inside I wont buy frozen. But fresh sits out in cases very little temp control, no ice, so buy early, get it home, freeze it quickly or cook it. Most people buy 1 to 3 days meat I buy for weeks or months. And I NEVER let them cut up my whole chickens they chop the heck outta them and too many bone shards. Before we came here my family of 7 could finish a 20lb turkey in one night. Now we eat around 1lb between the 5 of us. Meat is a luxury here.

No wonder you want to raise your own!
 
DS and I were sitting in the kitchen and he looked out onto the screened porch. He says, "um is he supposed to be right there?"

I look out and one of my Brahma babies has SOMEHOW escaped the brooder and is making himself at home snooping through all the stuff around it. :D

We went ahead and moved them into the little cage on the grass, lol.

Off-day pondering. I've always wondered this, but just tried to google it and got nowhere.

When I was little and it was time for supper, my mom would tell me to "get the ice off," meaning fill the glasses.

Does anyone know where this comes from? I figured it was passed to her from previous generations where ice was chipped off the block?? :/

Anyways I've always wondered, lol. I figure it's probably a southern thing since my family is all from SC southward..

What brought this to mind was a picture on fb that someone posted- a picture of an "old" car window handle that said, wonder how long until nobody knows why the phrase is, "roll the window down".. LOL
 
They'll still know during our lifetime, at least.

Although maybe forever. My mail truck still has windows that I have to ROLL up.
