dejunk hot spot basement last week empty file folders (I have many and always thinking I need all of them) fell where I couldn't reach bc we had to move furniture while rug was put in. so today: I will toss these files as I have had them way too long and no one wants them. (one of those areas that I have too many of these - keeping organization stuff that will bury me if I don't get rid of it. sounds so silly that I feel like it is too good to let go but I will (wow 2 large heavy garbage gone :D - kind of embarrassing how many papers I kept that didn't need keeping. I am giving dh the job of going through the really important papers :P

Believe you can do it!
11:54 am.
I still have to vacuum in the closet as I dropped somethings that can only be vacuumed. but that will have to wait until I do a load of laundry, cat litter, and put away dishes.

cat litter - couldn't do it yesterday - done :D
go to butcher for chicken for tomorrow :D
started to loose focus by computer scanning. so giving myself a push and heading out for a second 1:10 You can do it!!!
towels washing waiting so that I can throw dogs bed in to wash

A neighbor said that she uses cedar shavings for bedding for her birds. I've been thinking of getting some of that later found it at w-mart.

Nancy there are supposed to be problems with using cedar shavings for chickens. The first time I heard that was when we got literature from the hatchery on rearing ours, but I think I've read it elsewhere - can't remember. Do check it out and ask others what they think before you buy. I think they have a problem with breathing around it.

Dottie (new) is settling in nicely and has made a friend in Cicely. Penny (new) is unhappy. Somehow, Fay has dominated her anyway, even though she is so tall. Her friend is HRH, who brings her apple bits. We hope she will come around. HRH saw something interesting. When he had only gotten one piece of apple cut and tossed to the hens, they all came running, but the others backed off when they saw Fay wanted it. So there is just something about Fay - she is a power chicken somehow, who gets her way most of the time even if she is not the biggest or the youngest. I guess it's possible she's mean and we don't see it.

The lady was right that it is easy to pet Dottie. That will be good when the grandboys come.

My cousin with the truck farm has put up a greenhouse. I'm happy he is really settling in to keep up the farming for the long haul. I'm sure it will not be attractive, and it is awfully close to the road. But I hope the community will forgive him for that and realize it's great just to have a neighbor trying to farm at all these days.

Harriet thanks for the chicken news. Lost one hen today of old age I'm sure not too sad as she had a good life and I saw it coming. So there it's less crowded still learning how many works for the space we have here. I cleaned the nest boxes out and the pen floor again. I think I remember reading that some where about the cedar shavings. I was concerned that they would eat it but that's with chicks & I don't have any chicks at the moment.

Ours have been helping me clean out the freezer. I am going to see how they do with a half of a pumpkin/squash seeds and all one of these days. They like to eat bugs :mrgreen: and old grapes are their fav.! After cleaning the pen I nearly forgot to put in the ladder one loves to roost on top of it. I pulled weeds and one hen kept with in 2-3' of me so this is great for the grand kids.

Just realized I forgot some of the other nest boxes so will need to get out and do that in the morning. I'm reading about vit. d for hens now that's a concept. I felt much better when P. Allen Smith said his hens don't lay in the winter either seems to happen to everyone.
