(Originally posted Mar 23 2012) As I type this I’m in bed, sick. I’ve been sick since Tuesday (today is Friday). Probably the flu with the addition of a stomach bug at the same time. Horrid. 103 degree fever. So I haven’t done anything at all since Tuesday except lay in bed and make trips… Read More The day the mailman saved the chickens (aka Hope noone had a video camera)
(Originally posted Jan 2012) This is turning into “my blog of things I get from Craigslist”. I’ll have to see what else I can post about. I recently sold my last four chickens, for $40. That was the last of the 20+ free chickens I got in the fall, and the only ones that were… Read More More free stuff from Craigslist – I’ve turned in to a Chicken flipper!
More Craigslist scores! Today I picked up 12 free chickens, all 3 years old so laying was slowing down. Nine hens and three roosters. The three roosters and three of the hens are in the fridge already – I love free food! The other 6 hens are on the schedule for Thursday, although I may… Read More More free stuff

Plus there are 5 more chickens on tap for tomorrow, I just ran out of light today. Bought an old shipping crate, to make… Read More Sorting through the chickens
(Originally posted Sept 6, 2011) I must stop getting free chickens from Craigslist. Apparantly giving chickens away is just something people DO around here – along with breathing. I got 6 free roosters today, and they delivered them to my door for the price of gas. Wow! I had put today aside to butcher and… Read More Roosters can crow upside down
(Originally posted Sept 4 2011) I got the BEST Craigslist score today – 16 free laying hens! All between 5 months and 2 years old. They came from two groups – one is four Buff Orps that are being “downsized” from their flock because the owner wants to do more exotic birds – I saw… Read More Getting the chickens
(Originally posted Sept 2 2011) Today I did not get outside until dusk. In the hour between then and dark I picked two pints of blackberries, and cleared about 2-3 cans of brush and weeds (the cans are the big 39 gallon trash cans). I also untangled a lot of vines. There are big beautiful… Read More Setting up the yard
Today’s rant about rectangles is in honor of my new rabbit. I have two brand new rabbits – so new they don’t have names yet. One is a Californian doe, about 2 years old. The other is probably an American Chinchilla Rabbit doe, also aged about 2 years. They are accustomed to being together, so… Read More She got her head stuck!
