Hello...
Tiring day...just got back from the nursing home attending my dear, sweet Mother a couple hours and after got back home, attended the chickens outside again...They are laying really well now averaging 4 to 5 eggs a day for 8 hens and they are barely 6 months old, just started laying recently. Did you know that raising chickens is a big job? I surely didn't when I convinced Dear Hubby that we should go to Tractor Supply last August and buy some biddies (all girls we bought). They almost immediately outgrew the small coup Hubby built for them and before we knew it, we were undergoing a huge bill for a large, decent chicken house built to accommodate our growing girls. Ended up with right at $3000 in it. They eat well, about $30 food a month and grass I pull and give to them, and leftover food scraps we give to them as well. Keeping their chicken house cleaned out is not such a pleasant task. Lots of shoveling involved, if you know what I mean. Hubby recently had to build new roosts for the girls, who had outgrown their orginal, lower to the ground roosts. The reward for all of this work and cost is that now we are getting fresh eggs every day and soon I will be looking for egg customers, as we are building up a good supply of eggs here. They are nice-sized, brown eggs, as the girls are big rhode island reds.
It has been a rainy, chilly day here in SC today. Still a very nice day and thankful to the Lord for it.

Hello to you.
Scale read 156 this morning, which, altho is not my goal weight, I am still happy with it.
It has been another beautiful day here in SC. Thankful for this site, and DD webmaster and all of you who take the time to post on DD. I enjoy reading your postings, altho I do not post as often as you do.
Spring is just around the corner...next month! Smile!

Hello to you.
We are in the 70's for highs these days...loving it. Sunny and warm.
I worked in the flower garden yesterday with short sleeves on. What a task! Raked up last year's red mulch in piles and reset out some flowers at different place. Hubby took away the piles of mulch that I shoveled into container many times. A lot of work for both of us, and took quite a while to accomplish it, but this morning when I went out on the front porch, it looked so nice in the flower bed. Now, for spring-time to come on in next month and hopefully soon to get new flowers to set out among the rose bushes and other flowers already in the flower bed.

Hello to you.
Hoping you are having nice weather. Our weather here in SC has become more spring-like this weekend and sunny. Nice for being outside and according to weather report, to be in the 70's this coming week. Hoping to work in flower bed soon to get it prepared for putting in fresh flower plantings within the next month or two.
Scale weighed me at 156 when I weighed.
I bought a couple boxes of 100 calories microwave popcorn and have been enjoying it. Although it is a little high in sodium, it is low in calories and is very filling.

Hello....
Having usual mug of coffee this morning...Cold, January day outside.
Scale weighed me at 155 this morning. Calories were about 1550 yesterday and 1750 day before.
We have been having emergencies over here, one after another...due to flooding, our septic tank backed up into our house and then after this was taken care of, our Daughter got very sick. So, I am not trying to diet right now, need extra calories for energy but still staying around maintain calories, not going over.
---------------------------------
We thank the Lord for His help and we thank you for your prayers.

Hubby 
is home today and so I cooked a big breakfast, which I have not been having...grits, eggs, sausage, and toast. So I have already tallied up more calories at this time (9 a.m.) than I usually do. But it is worth it. We enjoyed having a nice breakfast together. Happy he is home today.

In fact, we are changing what we're having for dinner tonight because the daughter will be home (instead of working). I've always been quite adamant that Dinner - whether at noon or at night - is a family thing. Whoever is home, we're eating together at the table.

Oh my gosh, didn’t realize how difficult it was to raise chickens! It must be satisfying to have fresh eggs. Hope your mother is doing ok,
Horn_of_plenty on 02/11/2019:
nice! so you get fresh chickens and even a few customers soon!
Donkey on 02/12/2019:
I truly enjoyed your chicken story! I would love to be one of your customers if it were possible. Fresh eggs can't be beat.
I can relate, as I was shoveling this morning, as well, but not because we have chickens, unfortunately.
