Nice job on the pics......I really like the pic of Frizz.

It needs a caption......."Bad day at the hair salon?" "YOUR kids make you pull your hair out" "hair Club for Chickens............I'm not just a member!"

Nice job! And goodness, what a handsome smiling young man!

Rainy day today

B is frustrating me today. It's like he's misplaced his brain...the kid is normally a math whiz and today he can't add 3+0 It's got to be the rain.

I picked him up today and we headed for the library first since we had books that were due today. Problem was the library wasn't open yet...it was 11:15a and they didn't open until 1p. So we headed to grab a bite to eat. B suggested that we try the Cornerstone Cafe cause he hasn't eaten there yet (I have). I'm proud of his choice of food...grilled cheese with tomato added and Italian Wedding soup. Then we headed for the library where he got to pick up a couple of reading books and I got some materials on homeschooling, gardening and a learning money kit for him. Our little library has a great selection that will help keep the cost of homeschooling to a bare minimum since we'll be able to borrow so many materials...they have these huge $100 kits for teaching various subjects and you can check them out for 2 weeks!

Now we're back home and he's doing workbooks but I keep having to make him redo work because his brain is just not in it today.

Principal scheduled our meeting for the 13th. Wish me luck or be prepared with bail money...whichever you think I might need the most (luck or bail).

I really like that Rooster. Those tail feathers really make him POP.

Another rainy day...bah! Guess April is gonna live up to it's reputation since March didn't. Woke up this morning to pouring rain. Thankfully it let up just before the boys had to get onto the bus.

Rainy days make me just want to stay in bed and sleep...how about you?

No news on the eggs in the bator...

If y'all haven't seen this contest then you need to check it out!

Rain cleared up and the day looks to be finishing out nicely.

B decided to be a bit of a pain and is currently serving some "wall time" (time out with nose to the wall). So afternoon schoolwork still is not done and K should be home any minute.

DH informed me that we've already got another order for turkey for this Fall. A firehouse in the city he works is ordering a turkey. 2 sold and they're not even here yet!

I've got a hen with an infected toe. I've been trying to treat her topically and right now she has a "club" for a toe. Poor girl is so sweet but she sounds like an elephant as she thumps around. I think I'm probably gonna cage her and give her antibiotics in her water.

Decided to sell the 3 Sicillian Buttercup hens that are in my flock...I'm just not a fan of them. I could get past the look if they weren't "screamers"...annoys me to no end when I'm near them.

It's that time of year for bird feet. I always treated with amox or with baytril, and soaked the foot in warm water with epsom salt, mullien, and a little olive oil to keep the foot from drying out.

Poor girl. Chickens with sore feet are pitiful.
