Big Drama Yesterday
Yesterday was the pits of a day. My back has been acting up and I can hardly move, clunking around in those winter boots doing chores and walking through the snow from the house (it was so dry it wouldn't pack down when I tried to drive over it). My hips and back are very...
In stead of sand I throw a bale of fine shavings into the dust bath pit for them. Big hit! I might forgo sand and just go with the shavings from now on.
16 today - although, I found a small wee egg from Mrs Little Chicken, I guess her moulting has completed enough her body felt it could start back laying. I am very surprised it didn't freeze and crack, I found it when I did chores this morning. And I KNOW she didn't lay it overnight as she...
I think there is a breeder north of here that raises them. I always stuck to the 'broken' blacks and lilacs - lots of fun with them. Good dual purpose rabbits. Most people don't know this.
-9C (16F) clouding over when I came in around 7pm. Snow on the way and a warm up - finally!
Overnight temps still cold, it will be at least a month before overnight temps start to approach the freezing point regularly.
Everyone have a wonderful evening/night/day!
Fans on in the barn here also 24/7, we also get hot humid summers, last year three months of glorious summer weather, and September was also lovely, Oct nice and we shall not discuss Nov and Dec…….
Have a bunch of box fans for the horses and chooks, I full blast keep them going, the chooks...
Oh bummer about your sled, it’s always the way. My co-worker was out sledding this weekend sunny but darn cold!
Lovely looking chooks! And some have jaunty topknots I see ♥️
Breezy Bird Farm south of Winnipeg has them & sells eggs.
Road trip…. Get eggs, share with Bob…. Better still get eggs, hatch and get pullets for Bob.
Eggs don’t chirp so you’ll get them across no problem 😉
(Yes I am an enabler and proud of it!)
We all love Elsa 🥰 and the zebra chickens...
Squishy and watery. I hope she doesn’t have more crop stasis.
The canestin is a cream, I give 1cc daily. She is in the feedroom again today along with Daisy (story to come on her…), I would have kept Mrs LC in there too, but I don’t have any other crates.
I am going to revamp the Summer...
I’ll take 3 of them…
OMG! And 4 of these!
(I tried to to get a few last year….no luck)
Beautiful! Have two of these beauties ♥️ Friendly funny wee little monkeys.
Oh i would love geese but not practical for me (at the moment - maybe when I retire!)
Awwww! Ducks also not practical for me...
Awesome! So Sundays are Pony Sunday so post photos of your geegees for us all to enjoy!
(I also want Guineas and a camel and goats, and a Battle Cassowary 😉 oh a water Buffalo)
Crazy old woman tax
I not the only one crazy…
Awesome!
And I owe Should Have Read Ahead tax (SHRA tax)
March 2025
Finally some Sunbathing time!
And because I love this photo of Blanche just slogging through that icy cold water - she’s a tough Old girl!
