6 week old males sparring briefly. We have a few for sale currently if you want a very large, impressive rooster for your flock, 12-15 lb at maturity.

If you cannot take a few minutes to watch a few chick raising videos or to get a book about how to raise chicks or manage chickens and prepare for them ahead of time, DO NOT GET CHICKS! This is not a "buy now, learn later" proposition! There will be no later because you will kill them! So, do your research! And make sure you really want them for the long haul, not just on a whim, people!! Better me be harsh with you than you kill innocent animals with your ignorance!
**when I said the man who culled molting hens was a friend of mine, I meant a friend of mine was in the group where this man told about killing molting hens, thinking they were diseased. I don't know him. I have a habit of not finishing my thought, sorry**

Just a rambling talk about making decisions with full knowledge of the scope and consequences of those decisions, taking stock of the full picture and pushing aside snap decisions based on emotions of the moment. In that vein, we are doubling down on our efforts to remain here on our land and to stay and even increase being self-reliant into old age. Plus, some photos added during the video of garden progress. ((I think I forgot to add a photo of the fallen tree limb, but you can see that in the Community Section from today!))

Quilt top survived a fire, washed, ironed, stored for 2 years, ironed again and now, finally, is ready to quilt-I quilt exclusively by hand, the old fashioned way. This is my own personal spring quilt, not for sale in any of the Blue Roo Creations storefronts, a couple of years late, but it should be on my bed this spring at last.

And, I realize that this would have been my mother's 97th birthday if she was still with us. I remember, Mom.

My awesome husband has pushed through his chronic back pain and generously completed a DIY drop-in table to fit my Janome 7700 sewing machine. The flush surface will make quilting larger quilts much, much easier with less back, shoulder and neck strain.
The cheapest commercial tables not only are pressboard covered with laminate, but cost $200 plus a $90 acrylic insert to fit your particular machine. This was much more cost effective and looks like furniture; should last many years longer, too.
And I've been making some quilted tote bags lately to change up my fun during our rainy beginning of Fall.

Healthy, robust and ready to go to their new home soon, I am "weaning" them off of Mama Brandy's presence by short periods without her. That also reminds her of her former life and begins her transition back into her flock.

Today, I was again attacked by a troll who did not agree with the way we have chosen to deal with genetic anomalies that popped up in our Barred Rock line. Lecturing someone on ethics on a subject that is not black and white is not the way to win others to your side. Remember, it's chickens, people, not world peace! Chill!
