Just checking in with you all. Pictured is one of my favorite Christmas gifts. It sets here in the living room and gives off a gentle warm glow that I find solace in when my anxiety kicks in. Tho I haven’t had any anxiety issues the past few days. Lol.

I’ve been slowly working on a puzzle which I may or may not show eventually. It’s not going together like I’d like. It’s a puzzle in the shape of a vase. 🥴🥴

The chickens are all good.
The dogs are fine.
Miss Cat is well just up to her usual activities. Eat. Sleep. Eat. Sleep. Then cat around all night.
And Chief and I are well.

Later

This is what has been keeping me off Facebook. I’ve had it for a long time. But I decided to do it this week. It did not go together as quickly as I had anticipated. It’s only 300 pieces. But I believe this is one of the hardest puzzles 🧩 I have put together. I sure do hate to take it apart. I was not thinking it would be this large. I had planned on glueing and framing it. But now I don’t know.

Also on Thursday I had a dental appointment. I was a nervous wreck going in and coming out. The cost to get 2 teeth crowned is way more than I had expected. We have insurance, but apparently it doesn’t pay very well. These 2 teeth have been cracked (hair lined) for years. Neither were/are giving me any pain. But one of them went from a crack to a chip. So it’s time to do something.

I hope you have had a good week.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

This was Liesel yesterday. She is looking sooo much better.

This will be a short post. I’ve tried to unplug today. I’ve read a little, and worked on a jigsaw puzzle. We have had no Winter temps. But this is still the time of year, I like to hone in on other hobbies besides chicken keeping. I have another puzzle to work on. So I may be mia tomorrow as well.

Talk later.

This is the best thing I saw all day. Flint videoing his mommy on the trampoline. Don’t forget to tell her good job.

This will shift the algorithm for the best.

It’s Willis. Can’t seem to get Woody in a picture. They are maturing and have testosterone oozing from their very pores. “Sheesh, boys settle down, the hens will still be here tomorrow!”

Happy Tuesday Evening.

I sat in the chicken yard this afternoon trying to imagine which Easter Egger might be the female parent of Annie’s chicks. Look at this one. She looks like she could be the mother. She has a dark beard. She’s a beautiful hen actually quite large. I always wanted to call her “Eagle” which seems odd for a chicken name. But I’ve never named her anything else. She’s a good prospect for Annie’s chicks. Shes 6 years old.
Hope you’ve had a good day. Mine has been okay. I took a nap this afternoon. I started a book. I think it’s going to be good, but I got sleepy. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’ll catch y’all a little later.

Just a reminder- I do have chickens. Sometimes I get off track and post those great grandsons.

I think this is Willis in this picture. He was trying to work some rooster magic with 3 pullets. Almost hen age. These 3 came to me from Tractor Supply last March. And Willis is one of Annie’s from July. He’s still considered a cockerel. So he’s moving on up in the chicken kingdom. Don’t mind me, but I still think Annie’s roosters are drop dead gorgeous. Compared to that Buff Brahma which is rather large, he’s looking like a standard size rooster. At least he’s no shrimp.

The 2 Grey Girls are Emmalina on the left and Stellina on the right. Their combs is what helps me keep them separate. The Buff Brahma is Joylin.
Today is National Bird Day. I haven’t sat out and taken pictures of wild birds yet. So can my birds be chickens, please? 😉

I’ll talk to you probably sometime tomorrow.

So Happy Monday Evening!

Goodnight! May you experience a sweet night’s sleep when you lay your head down tonight.

Love ya!

So I had an emotional meltdown yesterday. But look who came along today and cheered this Nana up. I felt better after a good night’s sleep. Anyway, Abigale contacted me and asked what we were doing. Nothing of course so she brought the boys over. Hollis isn’t in this video. But I’ll post a picture of him immediately after I post this. Both boys are growing and both boys are just as happy as they can be.

Don’t forget to look for the picture of Flint and Hollis.

1st picture is 2 of my July chicks from Annie. The one on right is Lucy. The one on the left is Darcy. 2nd picture is Dottie. 3rd picture is of 2 eggs. Both eggs appear to be new (pullet) eggs to me. I go through my eggs daily to try to get a feel for them. My summary is these eggs “probably” came from 2 of Annie’s chicks. Having now seen a new blue/green egg, I have to believe at least one of the pullets is an Easter Egger. Because I never found her nest, I could only assume all chicks were from her eggs. Now, I believe Annie recruited one of my Easter Eggers to lay in her hidden nest. They may all be Easter Eggers. I think the only thing that is 100% accurate is Mr. Roo, who is a Red Bantam Cochin rooster, is the daddy. So there you have it. My conclusion is I may have all Easter Eggers.
Happy Monday!
