I have 4 bantam hens, with 2 clocks.

No expert here - but clocks? Not so sure they've got the greatest fertility, lol.

Stupid auto-correct!

I typed in cocks. Oh! It did it again! But this time I saw and I changed it back!

You had clocks written twice in that post, and I just thought you had a clever way to avoid having it changed to ****s.

Auto correct!!!! Sometime I read and can't even recognize what I was trying to say. . It's a dirty trick for us oldsters. . Memory? Or?

My hens tend to skip laying in bad weather. They'd never lay where you are! I'd think the boys would slack off too. But??

I have a pullet who has gone broody! Trying to break her up but may have to pen and give a nest of eggs instead. . Then, a few others will do the same...you know it's contagious.

Snowing again

 

[Alaskan]

Driving into town again.

In town was warmer... it actually hailed for 5 minutes.

But up on the mountain where I live, still buckets of snow.

This photo is taken at the base of my driveway where it joins to a main road, looking down over the bay.

And.... snow again today.

And the driveway is full on, unadulterated crap!

I guess that if I had to, I could deal with the winter snow... if there was no choice... but I don't think I could deal with the March and APRIL snow day after day..... I would definietly go crazy.....You won't have to ever worry about me being part of the housing sale boom...

 

[Alaskan]

Yep, yep.... a little more snow last night... just a dust....

Bunch of clouds stuck on the mountains across the bay... not sure what those clouds want to be up to.

Right now they just look stuck there. No big winds at present.

Anyway... sitting here wait for kids while they do school state testing (yeah, we homeschool... but we still do some of the state testing), and waiting for banks to open.

Yawn.

Have to get up earlier than we are used to for the testing.

But there is a spot in town to park and look over the beach... for when eating in the car, or whatever .... great spot.

Talking of eating WOW. Eldest... I love him, I do.... but he bought me a gift card to Starbucks! (We have one in the grocery store). I had a coffee from them... 2 days in a row.... there is a little left on the gift card... but I couldn't do a third day in a row... so I went to the local coffee place this morning now this is coffee!!!

New phone, better camera.... shots from the "spot" in town.
