chickens more more and more























Just an update on our coop .... We added 6 new hens and one rooster on wednesday july 22nd these are black star hens and the rooster is black and white . They are over a year so we are getting eggs . They are a pretty brown we got our first 3 eggs the day after they arrived.We also go 6 more hens the following saturday they are a variety of birds and my favorite on is gray . The kids call her Mrs Meaty she is big and fluffy and a very beautiful bird. One of the newest birds lays a very pretty speckled egg i hope i have a clear picture for you all ... We have given away 3 doz eggs already because we are getting any where from 8 to 11 eggs a day now .... and Bob just loves eating them and the young ones we got in may should start laying eggs come september after the kids start school

hi to all who might read this ..... well let me tell ya God has really been testing our faith this yr first katie rolled the car on the first of january then the transmission went on the red car ... the water heater went out ..the fuse need to be fixed on the van .. there is more i just can think of it but the lates is last thursday i came home and went to put the milk away in the basetment and our fuse box for the hot water heater was about to blow big time i shut it off then that night the girls woke me at 10 because the toilet over flowed and would not flush and has not worked now for 5 days bob called and got the electric taken care of so we have hot water but we are still waiting for the guy to come and get the clog out of the pipes as it is under the floor of the basetment as near as we can figure we have snaked every drain and it is a night mare trying to figure it our ... well the one good thing is that we are finally putting in the new toilet and floor we bought in spring and just have not gotten to yet so here are some pics of our preogress so far ...... but ya know thru all this God ahs been faithful i will admitt i have lost it a few time thank good ness i have bob to help keep me sane ... kinda hehe
but he has helped remind me that it will all pass and God is in control... it just doent help whenyou are sleep deprived ... a realy good story for another time it involves a pot a plastic spoon and 3 teen girls at 630 in the am that did help me laugh
