Planning Ahead

I was very excited to receive my 

2014 Catalog from

Murray McMurray today.

What is that?

CHICKS, baby!

I've got the pages dog eared 

and the numbers selected for each

breed we'd like to have.

Of course some Black and Buff Cochins 

shall be included with some other 

hearty layers because there is

nothing quite as pretty

trotting across the yard than

fluffy Cochins.

One of the girls from my old flock of four!

Our order will be divided with 

layers and meat birds.

{Did I mention that I've been on 

YouTube

learning how to properly 

"take out" a bird?}

I'm actually looking forward to 

growing our own meat birds as well

as having home grown eggs again.

So, we still have a coop to build and

with Winter pretty much here, we'll

be waiting to order until the beginning

of February giving us plenty of time

to design the coop and lay out 

the back yard for my garden too.

Hopefully time doesn't fly as fast as it has the 

last several months!

In the meantime, I'll 

reminisce about my old girls...

P.S. I'm starting to think we should have bought a farm.
