but daffodils! Also Bleeding hearts and peonies are coming up! The Chickie Girls are laying more now that there is more daylight. Unfortunately it was time for the Old Girls and extra 2 roosters to go to the freezer. And time for more new chicks. We got 9 Ameracaunas this time, can't wait for blue and green eggs!Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-22038643428524860642014-11-06T11:53:00.000-08:002014-11-06T11:53:20.354-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our little Inky chick is growing up! DH let the Girls and Mr.Roo out of the Chick Yard for a time, very rare since I drew the line at so many destroyed flower beds. Mama Hen has been taking good care of Inky in the Chicken Yard, where there is lots of cover and places to hide. (We do have a hawk in the area.) Meanwhile the 6 Babies we purchased, were finally ready to go to the outside Baby Chick yard. It will be interesting to see how the Hen raised Chick and the other chicks get along once we combine the groups. Also, I am sure that one of the new Red leghorn chicks is a rooster! No crowing yet, but has distinctive comb and wattle going on :) Well, we shall see. Not sure if I want another rooster... may go in the stew pot!<br /><br />Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-7003734811795246152014-11-06T11:42:00.002-08:002014-11-06T11:42:38.342-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The wind and rain are blowing down lots of limbs and leaves from the big oaks, a good inside day-so thought I had better update the blog! We finally had a chick hatch under a broody Hen, so cute. She hatched her inside the Hen House, so is caring for the chick in the flock. All of the other Hens and Mr.Roo keep a wide berth as Mama Hen is very protective! I need to fix up a brooder area in the old hen house which has it's own little yard, but this time they seem to be doing OK.<br />
Got fifty more daffodil bulbs planted, love them in the spring. Also picked all the acorn and winter squashes, and our 2 pumpkins. Also our walnut tree finally bore fruit this year and we have a crate of walnuts to dry, very happy about that! Also I have been cooking pumpkin cookies, apple pie and need to can applesauce as the apple tree is bearing heavily this year. Love this Fall season!<br />

March Storms are coming in one after the other. I thought it would be a good time to use up those raspberries that have been in the freezer. Usually I make freezer jam out of fresh berries, but decided to try cooked jam. A messy process, but worked out fairly well. I did have a few jars which did not seal, but will just put those in the freezer. All it takes is 6 cups of berries and 8 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 box of pectin per batch. Three batches made 27 jars of jam!<br /><br />Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-57455399390478167022014-03-03T14:51:00.000-08:002014-03-03T15:02:23.596-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Raining,then sun, raining,then sun! I found a planting project, tho. I took an old 3 tier kitchen wire basket, lined with moss and ferns from the oak limb that DH cut up, then filled,with soil,ivy and blue violas. The daffodils are blooming also, so that is encouraging! The Chickie Girls just love to get in the flower bed in the sun, then when it rains,they run under the big tree.<br />

Snowing all day, at least 6 to 8 inches today. Stew in the crock pot, banana bread baking, good book by the fire! The Old Chickie Girls are not too crazy about the snow, but the Baby Girls think this is the way life is! We did get 2 sweet small eggs today from the Baby Girls, they must be about 17 or 18 weeks old by now. They have been huddled up in the old chicken coop watching the snow, but the rooster made a drive for the big chicken house, and most of the girls went in with him.<br /><br />Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-87443648677849540732014-01-25T12:36:00.003-08:002014-01-25T12:36:36.982-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

DH busied himself pruning the old apple and pear trees this morning, managed to get the job done without any fractures this year. The temp warmed up from 28 to 55 degr, but not quite ready to get out in the flower beds. I am reduced to rearranging decor items and longing over old plant tags. I loved this Coreopsis "creme Caramel", and think I can get them again from Rogers Nursery in Springfield. <br /><br />Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-9616689277518650602014-01-24T09:51:00.002-08:002014-01-24T09:51:32.149-08:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

well, it has been awhile since I blogged. Our family has had some travails: DH's father passed away, mother to Assisted living due to new diagnosis of Alzheimer's, surgery to replace both knees(me), semi-retirement(me). Now a New Year, bright and winsome, beckoning contentment and dreams of fabulous garden results and garden projects to be accomplished. My new goal to to blog more frequently now that I am home more, even tho no one is reading! <br />
I do have daffodils and crocus tips peeking thru the soil, buds on the lilacs and honey suckle.It is bright sun today, only 26 degrees when I got up, "frost on the pumpkin" so to speak.<br />
Now that I am home more, we are going to "whip this place into shape" Words that strike fear into my husband. I have reorganized my pantry and "apocalypse" shelf, made a list of other closets and dressers to organize. I have drawn up plans for the new garden/potting shed my husband offered to build me, using the old green antique windows and some other windows we have saved. I am excited to grow more plants from seed after we get it built. <br />
Well, I'm off to walk down to the mailbox in the sun, so glad the fog did not set back down here in our little valley.

August days.. tired of watering, chickens grazing, honeysuckle setting red berries for Fall, some flowers still going, everything so dry.<br />
Mr.Roo had a crisis the other day! He somehow managed to get some string wrapped around one of his legs, and then when trying to jump off of a roost over the compost bin, caught the sting on a burr and was hanging upside down by one leg! DH just happened to come by and rescued him, bringing him in for me to cut off the string. Mr.Roo was very calm in DH arms and looked over the living room, wondering if we had anything good for his hens to eat in here! He is a good boy for the most part always looking after the girls and getting them morsels to eat. Of course, after we saw him swinging upside down, we wondered if the old hens had strung him up there! Not all the girls have taken kindly to the roosters!Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-46711514007362972962012-07-04T08:40:00.001-07:002012-07-04T08:40:22.587-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring has sprung! In the 80's today, then tonight the thunderstorm came up and dropped the temp 20 degrees. The roosters are busy showing the Hens whats what, tho sometimes the hens turn on them and chase them awhile. Our white Roo clucks and gathers his hens, to show them something good to eat, and when it is time to go in at night. All in all very entertaining!Oregon Country Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09069875465867733527noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14230990.post-37167765249620146772012-04-09T18:56:00.000-07:002012-04-09T18:56:31.029-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BQeVvFI7Z-k/T4OTDW128kI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Gj5qNe34ge0/s1600/DSCF0690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BQeVvFI7Z-k/T4OTDW128kI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Gj5qNe34ge0/s320/DSCF0690.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It was approximate 4'x8'. Of course we couldn't stop with 6, so the next year we brought home 12! So he built another 4x6 addition. Well, this is year 4 and we now have 25 Big and Little Girl, and even 2 new Little Boys: Roo 1 and Roo 2. So it was time for a better Hen House.<br />
Now my husband does not throw anything away, and can proudly tell you where each piece of wood came from 20 years before! He did buy some roofing and screws, brackets etc for our new improved version this time.<br />

</tbody></table>Meanwhile it is slowly becoming Spring! Last week we had snow, and this week the daffodils are blooming. I have visions of plant pots and new perennials dancing in my head, and will attempt to get my DH to let me design the vegetable garden, but doubt that will fly. He is always suspicious that I will plant more flowers than vegetables!<br />
We are also trying out putting an egg sign down by the road, when we have too many. I have also been baking Quiches, scrambled eggs, angel food cake ( didn't turn out the best) just to try to use up the plentiful Spring eggs!

They are 8 weeks old and the little Roo's are practicing their crows. We needed to segregate them from all the Big Girls, as they are still eating the baby food. So using what we had, we converted an old dog house and some fencing into a little yard just for them. Now they can become adjusted to seeing and hearing the other big chickens, until they grow a little more. This is our first experience with roosters! We pulled up lawn chairs to watch for awhile, as the new babies got their first look at grass, dirt, and the big sky, along with watching other chickens run by.
