Glad to see this thread up and going again- we have been busy this season! Lots of pickles put up and tomatoes, along with some more jalapenos. Wish I could get my hands on some apples again!
The babies went for their first swim today, and our hen was relaxing and taking a dirt bath while I watched over them. She's been a very good, but calm mommy.
@TAH - Terrorism is hitting hard. Whether its a terrorist organization from a different country, or a hate group from within the same country....there is so much violence and I agree that we should be praying for others, like France, being affected in all this.
I will be saying a prayer over...
I've had two suggestions to put this here so here it goes- this is our broody hen named Fat Momma. She sat on some Khaki Campbell eggs for us and 4 of them hatched this morning!
After losing our first duckling, please be praying over the last 5 that are under our broody hen. 4 of them have already begun to pip their shells (when we candled them, the 5th one was still moving but must have been one of the last eggs put under her). None of them have broken through and...
@Samantha drawz - How is your grandfather doing?
And @Hens and Roos - What about your dad, is he doing better?
@ldawntaylor - Hoping that the burn on your hand has healed up! How is your neighbor doing that lost his wife?
@TAH - Praying over the three young men who may be headed the wrong way...
Well, the duckling did not make it....the hen smothered it and I found the poor thing this morning....there are still 5 other eggs under her that look good and should hatch in the next few days (hopefully). I was very sad, but still feel blessed nonetheless.
Miss Linda the goat hasn't had a...
Folks, we need to do some serious prayer for America. My husband and I aren't on the internet often or watching television, so when I heard about the fatal shooting that took place in Dallas a few days ago I was in total shock and filled with sorrow. There is so much division in the country and...
I haven't updated in awhile but here it goes....one simple thing I have to post about but it's a huge blessing.
Our hen had 9 duck eggs under her- she rejected 3 bad ones. I went out and was feeding her this morning when she sat up and I saw an egg that looked crushed under her. I lifted it up...
@micah wotring - Prayers for your boss, and the two men at your dad's work. It's amazing to me to see how many needs are shared here, and I am really glad you've taken the time to share this here and think of other folks. And thank you for your continue prayers.
@Samantha drawz - I am praying...
I'm not knowledgeable about pigs, but congrats on the ones that made it- and so sorry about the ones that did not. Thank you for posting photos! Best wishes.
@lkmartin1230 - Your second post is 100% correct. She is actually a Spotted Saddle Horse/Quarter Horse cross.
Her daddy, the SSH, is black and white. Her mom is a bay QH. She ended up tricolor, with black in the mane/tail/and neck. If I had a better photo of her standing up straight, you could...
