Well this is my first post for the new year! Not starting out too great yet.. hehehe.. almost out of smokes, still can’t access my money in my new checking account, so haven’t been able to get my greens, ham, and blackeye peas for the day.. hopefully sis can loan me a few dollars so i can go to the store.. if anything is even open today.. arghhhhhhh.. :) Hope you all have a great day and a great new year, and that all ur wishes and dreams come true. God Bless.
I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!!! I spent the day with family and had a wonderful time.. hardly any fights this year! LOL.. I didn’t take too many pictures, i need a new camera (hint hint) but it was still a very enjoyable day. Had a few scary moments when some tornadoes touched down close to us while we were on the road, but everyone came thru unscathed. The sun came out and the day was beautiful in the afternoon. The Matriarch cooked a huge meal and it was fantastic! My nephew deep fried the turkey again and it was soooooo moist and delicious.. even the white meat which i usually dont eat cuz it’s too dry. My niece and i both have a birthday next month, so we were thinking of buying a sucklin pig about 20 lbs or so and having the nephew deep fry it.. should turn out great! *grinz*
I pray everyone has a fantastic New Year and don’t forget to eat ur black-eye peas and ham and greens.. for luck, health, and wealth! :) Good Luck and God Bless u all.

I know it’s been over a month since i’ve posted anything here, but that’s what happens when nothing is happening in my life.. i wake up every day breathing and for that I am very thankful to God and Jesus! 
I have some duck and chicken eggs in the incubator, no idea if any of them will hatch. Down to only 9 hens and only half of them are laying, and with two roosters after them, not sure if they are fertile or not. Am hoping that the ‘spotted’ eggs that have been fertilized by Yeller will hatch.. they’ll be orpington/rhode island and orpington/black sex link crosses, so they should make for some interesting biddies. *smile*. The duck eggs are crossed rhuen, black crested, and black canuga (sp?). Duke the male canuga finally figured out what he was born for (LOL) and so i get three eggs a day from Daisie, Dora, and Spider now. Jack hits em all 3 also, so they are double fertilized. laffin. I put them in the incubator on the 1st of Nov, so the next few days will tell if anything is going to hatch. Not supposed to mix duck and chicken eggs in same incubator but what the hell.. will take the egg turner out today and have to make a note to myself to move the duck eggs around for another week till they hatch.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. It’s a very poor month for the Lake City households this month, so it’s not going to be a huge dinner like usual, but will still be plenty and we’re all very grateful for surviving another year. 
well Daisie and Dora have started laying finally.. only took a month of Jack humping them to get them ‘going’.. laffin. And Duke has finally figured out what he’s supposed to do, so hard to tell if the eggs from Dora and Daisie are fertile or not.. have never incubated any of the duck eggs, but with the younger girls starting to lay now and two drakes after em all day long, i might save up a dozen or so and put em in the incubator to see what happens. If any hatch, i can raise em for the dinner table!! or maybe sell em at the flea market.. just depends on how things go, if i get 2 or more to hatch, i’ll raise em to eat, less and i’ll sell em at the flea market. Takes 28 days for duck eggs to hatch, so will be a while before i know either way. In the meantime, here’s a pic of my babies.
ok found the newest pics i took.. enjoy!
Charlotte, ducks, Gracie & George goats.
Jack, Spider, Dora, Duke, and Daisie
Freckles, Yeller, Rosie, and other Girls.
Charlotte in ‘her’ pool.
Yeller struttin for his ‘ladies’.
well not much goin on this month.. spent too much on ebay again.. lol.. but got some great stuff, still waiting on some of it to arrive. My daughter turned 30!!!! hehehe.. but shhhh.. she’s still saying she’s 29.. laffin.
the ‘girls’ are doin good, and Charlotte is gittin to be more of a character.. if that is possible.. she loves the big pool that belongs to sister, and i keep it cleaned out every few days for when she has the boys over.. but the rest of the time it belongs to Charlotte and she lets everyone know it too!! she doesn’t allow any of the ducks into it.. she runs em off and makes em use the little pools. she’s so hilarious.
here she is.. i have some more with her in the pool, but now i cant find em.. it figures. lol.
till next time! hugggggggglez.
Rosie is finally laying her eggs in the nest box with the other girls now.. that’s the good news.. she’s so funny to watch when she lays.. she stands up.. opens her mouth like she’s gonna scream.. out pops the egg and then she jumps outa the nest.. and nothing.. she doesn’t ‘announce’ it like all the other girls do.. just goes on about her business.. lol.. she’s so cute.. am hoping she’ll pick one of the other boxes soon, lay some eggs and sit on them to hatch.. buffs make good mama’s, i’ve raised them before and they are good ‘sitters’.. Yeller has been popping her the last few days, so hopefully, her eggs are fertile now and i can save a few for the incubator.
now the bad news.. i have snakes living in my trailer!! eeeeeek.. i hate snakes! these monsters are about 5 feet long and caught one yesterday gettin an egg outa the nest.. he coffed it up when i spotted him and went back under the trailer.. ack.. have caught 2 others on the porch and threw em out in the woods, so i know this is a different one.. as large as they are.. there must be a lot more living under there.. so gross.. now i’m spooked about walking around in here, knowing there are those monsters living under my feet and in the walls! i thot for a long time all the slithering noises i had been hearing were mice.. but now i know its them damm snakes!!!!!! thinking of injecting some antifreeze or something inside a few eggs and leaving them in the nest for the bastards.. i know that will kill the buggers.. will piss my sister off but when it comes to snakes.. i dont want them in my house!!!! they belong in the woods and if they stayed there there’d be no problem! 
oh well, time will tell.
till next time. hugggggglez
here’s a pic of Yeller.. my newest rooster.. he’s a buff orpington.. Rosie is also a buff, bought her at the same time as him.. she’s laying eggs and didnt find her nest until today.. she’s laying by the chicken yard fence.. some of the eggs were broke, but managed to save 4 of them and tested them and they are all still good.
now to tell u something very strange, and u’ll think me a liar, but i swear on my life and God’s Bible that i am NOT making this up.. i saw it myself and if i hadn’t i’d think i was a liar !!! okay, enuff intrigue, here is what happened:.. i was up at my BIL’s to get the jeep to go to town and buy some supplies, when Yeller starts chasing after Spider.. u remember her.. the white duck my sister swore was a ‘male’.. but has been laying an egg a day for the last 3 weeks.. snicker.. anyway.. Yeller jumps on her and starts hosing her good!.. well at least he was trying to hose her!.. he tried twice before he gave up, and i was in such shock, all i could do was watch him! when he couldnt pop her cork, he decided to try and jump on the little ducks Daisie and Dora!!!!.. i got in the jeep and chased him so they could get away from him.. am still in shock and it happened yesterday (22 Aug)!!! Pore Yeller, the hens won’t give him any, so i guess he figured the ducks were fair game!!! LOL.. I just wish i’d had my camera with me when he done it so i could prove i aint lyin about it.. i’ve never heard of a chicken tryin to screw anything other than another chicken, so this was a first for me!
On a sad note, Lucy the turkey finally died. One leg was nearly rotted off, she could only flop around in one spot for the last month.. she had locked herself in a corner of the chicken house and i fed her thru the ‘crack’ in the walls. Buried her in the corner behind my trailer, so she’s happy now and running around like a young bird again.
that’s all the news that’s fit to print. see ya next time! God Bless ya and urs.
