    Sit'n on the porch

    I am getting a LOT done while hubby and Freya are gone. I am hoping for a rainy day in the next few, both for the rain and for a reason to stay in and take it a (little) bit easier. 48 hills of potatoes this year. We need to eat more potatoes! I had plenty for planting, and threw too many out...

    Poopy butt / Diarrhea / Flystrike recovery

    Can your local vet do a fecal float test for you? Then you would know if she has worms and treat accordingly. Many vets will do the test even if they don't see chickens.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Widget is a broody butt again. She's been talking about it for 3-4 days now. I'll get out the crate tomorrow. She's remembering me telling her that maybe this spring she could have some chicks. Well.... not gonna happen, Widget. Sorry. Maybe next year.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Oh, thank you, @Smokerbill. While I was planting my potatoes, I did find some volunteers from last year that were sprouting. They were in the shovels of dirt; they has some sprouts growing out of the potato that was missed. I know I have voles out in the fields. Sometimes they go down my row...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I finished planting potatoes. 48 hills. A few red ones, and then the rest are German Butterball (new for me), Magic Molly (purple) and Elba. I'm doing something new this year. I used to mark the hills with sticks. The sticks would fall over and I'd worry I was going to step on the baby plants...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    I sorted through the ammo boxes from the closet cleanout yesterday. I planted more potatoes and have 48 hills now. I will give another hen a bath tonight. Probably the last one; the rest have relatively clean butts.

    Question of the Day - Friday, April 25th, 2025

    I don't use the GPS thingie on my phone. To go somewhere I've never been, I look up the place online, zoom in to get the local roads. I actually HAND WRITE directions for myself. I use the state map to get me to where my directions take over.

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    Sometimes when I'm having a blah day, I look for a way to brighten up someone else's day. And that brightens my day too. Last week I stopped for gas and when I went in to pre pay (I'm so old, I don't pay at the pump), a young lady who worked there was collecting the trash out of the bins. She...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    Is that when you're through the door, but you hold it open for the person coming after you? I see it both ways here.

    Yes. And I know what you mean! That was my project for the day. I wanted to wait until hubby and Freya were gone, as I knew there was a lot of mouse poop in there. I did not need Freya's nose in the way. I also waited until "garbage out" day, because I knew I didn't want this stuff staying in...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Little got a bath last night. She has joined the "cleaned and trimmed" butt group! Tonight is Stormy's turn. Then I'll have gotten the really messy butts cleaned up. The trimming isn't the neatest; I have to do it by the red light on my headlamp, trying to keep a nervous chicken in the sink...

    Dog: This heated seat is nice and comfy. Good head rest too. Man: This heated book rest is nice and comfy. Though it's just a bit on the heavy side.

    BYC Café

    Good morning! Another pot of coffee, if you need a warm up. I took everything out of the "other" closet in the mudroom. :yesss: I hauled about 2 1/2 bags of garbage out to the corner for pickup this morning. And I was very pleasantly surprised at how much ammo I have! I have a lot of...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    I remember my sister singing this and some lines about Eeny weeny it's a teeny Yellow polka dot bikini. Which she might have gotten from the song Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. I learned all my "Girl Scout camp songs" from my sister. I went to GS camp once... it wasn't any...

    I think some of the letters have "expressions." N looks happy to me. S looks pleasant. E, pensive. e, smiling and laughing. r is paying close attention. O just looks surprised. Z looks very business-like. A looks worried or anxious. K is going for a walk. When I was a little girl, I had a...
