So I didn't get to work on the Bantam Duplex today, but E said we'll work hard to finish it tomorrow. I did drive out to PA today and picked up 4 SQ White Cochin hens and OH MY I didn't know they came that fluffy!! I also got a trio of Barred Buff Cochins (pet quality but still pretty). I've...

First, gather your tools and use an old dilapitated dresser for your woodcutting table! Then you gather all your materials (we obviously used more than this) cut down trees that were in the way and low branches that might have been knocked down into the coops from high winds, storms, etc...

Just a small coop to house a pair of Mille Fleur Cochin Bantams. The coop will be 4x4 square and probably 4ft tall, on a base built about 36 inches off the ground. We're also building an attached run, covered. I'm also hoping for a cupola on the top of the house part. :lol: We'll see how it...

Yes, I'm pretty please with the man God chose for me :) Today was a productive day, even though we didn't really get started on my coop like I'd hoped. We DID get the roof done on the house addition though so no more leaking when it rains! E's brother had come down and helped, or else it...

i don't have a herd, i have a flock. :)

Mine are like a magenta color. I didn't want the brown like he gets - because he'd probably grab mine by mistake! ha! I also told him if I was going to be out there in the muck and cold, at least I could still be feminine about it! So magenta hat, coat, overalls, and one pair of pink and one...

I'm in a good mood, too! I'd like to think it's because hubby spoiled me today, but it probably has more to do with the benadryl I took this morning and not itching now HAHA

I need to brag - on my husband, for just a minute. First, I must point out that I so passionately dislike freezing cold winters and snow and so it's really a PITA for me to get myself up and out and doing chores. I despise frozen waterers. I've also struggled with winter due to not having...

Our neighbors had peafowl, so I understand the noise thing. We're putting them in the old coop with covered run, so no free ranging peafowl here. Once we get a bigger barn build, E said I can have a poultry pen inside a corner of the barn for the peafowl. Hope to put some turkey pens with...

I've been really bad about keeping up with journals lately. Sometimes it's easier just to shout out in passing conversation what's happening. Squeakers is growing like crazy, and we're all enjoying spoiling her. Can't help it, she's just so cute. We have our first REAL snow of the season...

been awhile since I've updated. Had a long post typed out and accidently deleted it. Will summarize it and say we've had some illness and loss in my family or of people related to my family (sis's inlaws). Had a quick trip to GA to see my Grandmother who wasn't doing well (she's better now)...

thank you, BB. The POW will need to be changed tomorrow, and I think something significant of the new year would be a good idea. Any suggestions folks? Submit your pics for it PLEASE!

These are all great photos!! I'll try to use them all, but I need to shuffle them up so I am not posting the same members photos over and over. Thank you so much, and folks, please keep them coming. I also want to apologise for being MIA, with the holidays, travelling out of state, a sick...

We need more pics folks, please? I don't want to use the same members pics over and over, I'd like to give everyone the chance to have their photo displayed. PLEASE submit some of your photos! Thanks!

I linked to the recipe in my blog, but I'll put it here, too... DO not alter the crust if you make these! :) Trust me! http://smittenkitchen.com/2011/10/apple-pie-cookies/

These are just heavenly! http://eveningstarfarms.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-my-season-baking-season.html

LOVE that pic! We need more submissions, too, folks! :)

She finally did take a nap, and I was able to get laundry and dishes done. Plus once the kids got home they helped. E and I are getting ready to wrap some gifts and see what we have for each child. As soon as the movie we're watching is over. We're watching Rockstar with Mark Whalberg...

we told DS last night that he can earn back the "fun" Christmas gifts if he proves over the next 2 weeks that he can be the good boy we know he is. Today I'm trying to get caught up on housework and it just ain't happening. I got Squeakers to take a nap, and thought I'd haul in wood for the day...

We've been trying to do little things to pay it forward. The car that was given to us 3 months ago, we have given to another family who needed it since we were able to buy a new(er) car. I can tell you that little family was thrilled! We budgeted money to shop for 3 kids for Share A...
