Ode to Star-Crossed Red Bird Lovers
(inspired by my hens who run-fly to a bird feeder as soon as a bird lands on it, and with apologies to the Big Bopper)

Below the bird feeder
Stood New Hampshire Red,
A great big hen.
On the edge of the feeder
Stood her handsome little guy.
Little Cardinal was his name
Such a lovely sight to see.
But she was sixteen times bigger,
So their love could never be.

Oh, New Hampshire Red loved Little Cardinal
With a love as big as the sky.
Oh, New Hampshire Red loved Little Cardinal
With a love that wouldn't die!

We are back in business!

After a prolong absence, for multiple reasons, the girls are healthy, happy, and antibiotic-free, and LoneStar Rising Ranch is open for business again!

However, we have the following limited delivery options: I can deliver to a pre-arranged meeting of any sort (club meeting or if we're going to see each other otherwise), or I can meet you when I'm working from my Austin office, on Wednesdays and Thursdays on Bee Caves at Walsh Tarlton. Just indicate your choice in the order form below.

We are currently able to deliver our fresh, free-range eggs only to those of you whom we already have arrangements to see (e.g., in the workplace or at a social group meeting). If that's you, click...

Seen this before, but it's worth a re-run!

There's more than one way to stay warm in this weather!

I spent about 10 minutes this weekend trying to video it and of course never got it, but I can affirm, without an inkling of a doubt, that CHICKENS SNORE. I'm listening to one snoring outside my window now.
