George In His Love Nest

George, has not been to happy with us since we have sentenced him to his love nest. The hens on the outside aren't to happy either. They have been trying hard to figure a way to get to George. This morning I found two or three chickens digging under the barn. They were looking longingly for a way in to their honey. It must be great to have that kind of magnetism. Imagine having … [Read more...]

April Showers Bring May Flowers

The showers may bring flowers, but it doesn't help for getting much outdoor work done around here. It's cold, and damp and no fun to do anything outdoors. This morning I finished the chemise I had started a couple days ago. It turned out to be just what I wanted. It will be added to the Thornton Square line of clothes. We are getting over two dozen eggs a day now. The chickens … [Read more...]

It's A Tiring Job

Yesterday, we finally finished processing the last of the chickens. You wouldn't think it was that hard, but when we were done with the 7th chicken, we were tired. Our backs were sore, and my legs were throbbing. By 8 o'clock, we were ready for bed. That is a wee bit early, but our eyes were heavy and our bodies tired. If you put the dogs out too early at night, they wake up … [Read more...]

Still No Sign Of Pyewacket

Pyewacket walked into the barn yesterday, and has yet to show herself. Now mind you, our barn is 3 floors and is jammed packed with all sorts of stuff from feed for the animals to furniture from the house. She could be anywhere. We thought for sure she would come back for supper last night, but we haven't seen her since. I do hope she is finding a warm fuzzy place to sleep. … [Read more...]

A Whole New World

Today, our newest chickens got to see the world for the first time. They were quite shocked to find that there was more to life than just their coop. We had bought them in September, and by the time they were old enough to be out from the heat lamp we had snow on the ground. It While I was in there cleaning, they were all huddled in the corner clucking this and that. I clucked … [Read more...]

Our Brood Is Growing

Today, we expect to receive our new flock of baby chicks. We ordered 25 NH Reds from Murray McMurray hatchery a couple months ago. Plus, we get a "free rare exotic chick". We can't wait to see what that one is. It seems like we have been waiting forever for them??to arrive. This will give us one rooster and 49 hens. By March, we should get around 50 eggs a day. By then, we will … [Read more...]

Our First Egg

I know it sounds silly to most, but we were so excited when I went into the coop and discovered this beautiful white egg. I had been looking daily for so long, I had wondered if it was a fake. I know it is only an egg, but we are proud to be "grandparents". … [Read more...]

The End of Summer?

The unofficial end of summer is of course today Labor Day. The kids will go back to school and most vacations have ended. Around here, summer will not end until September 21, which according to history is the Autumn Solstice. From then forward we will prepare the gardens, animals, and house??for the coming winter months. Not an easy task. It the spring tasks in reverse. Putting … [Read more...]
