Happenings



Let's just say the bite habit was easily broken with a reward, ahem, bribe, of a "big sweet treat" from the gas station across the street from our house.  Henry very much enjoyed his York Peppermint Patty and hasn't attempted to bite since the inception of his 'bite chart'.  However, it seems like pushing is going to need a daily reward since we are having a difficult time making it through the morning, much less the whole day, without pushing.  Better it is, but problem solved it is not.


Taylor got a mushroom kit from his mama for Christmas.  We've enjoyed watching the mushrooms grow and we've enjoyed eating them.  Win.  Win.  Now I just need to google a bit and find out how to duplicate the process without the kit.  Mushroom spores, coffee grinds and a box seem like it should be easy enough.


See that little bitty egg on the left?  Either one of our hens has begun laying freakishly small eggs or one of our hens is just now laying eggs after living at our house for almost 5 months.  It is a mystery.

1. Love Henry and all his intensities!
2. I'll vouch for the mushroom deliciousness and also, at the GGSIM mtg on Sunday, I've asked Sam to do a how-to on growing mushrooms at home for the family.
3. Isn't one of your chickens a banty? That looks like an egg from a bantum hen.

I saw the purple and red in your window... I'm glad you posted because I was almost curious enough to park, get out, and walk up to the window to spy...

 We usually get a few eggs that are a bit smaller than the others which we credited to the two banties but that egg was TINY!

You could have knocked on the door rather than spy in the window :)
