Living our dreams ♥️

Eggs for consumption, or for hatching, with availability at my hens’ discretion😉

Thieves suck.

Last Friday I went to get my hair cut. Same salon I’ve been going to for maybe a year. Kind of an isolated business, seemingly decent area, not exactly well travelled, and wide open space visually.
So imagine my surprise when I walk out to my car and see that my license plate is missing 😮
Just the rear plate.
I haven’t been anywhere but home since leaving a meeting at the hospital the day before. My license plate was definitely there when I left. My vehicle is black and the license plate is a very pale blue, so I notice it.
So I called the non-emergency PD line, reported the stolen plate, and spent the next 6 days hyper vigilant for the impending traffic stop for having no plate, report number at the ready when they run my front plate and it comes back as stolen 🤦‍♀️🤣

Today I had my appointment at the DMV (yup, appointments only here in GP Oregon). I was in and out in 20min with new plates, tags, and registration 🎉

Next stop: AutoZone

Adrian at AutoZone was awesome. I told him the bolts were missing and he grabbed some replacements and a screw driver. We had some in and out at the store a couple of times before we had what we needed, because it turns out that whoever stole my plate actually drilled it out of the tailgate leaving much larger holes than it had had previously.

So now I’m $50 lighter (much cheaper plates and hardware than I expected) and can drive in peace knowing I’m not missing plates that will get me pulled over.

Again, THIEVES SUCK

What is it about test anxiety?

Heading to town to recert my ACLS

The online module for it said 2-4hrs.
Ya, you can complete it in 2hrs if you click through the entire thing and only answer questions.
Me? Nooooo…I made myself watch the entire thing and it took me probably 6-7hrs because I was dumb and did it while on shift.
I was repeatedly called away from the computer (that pesky on shift part) and every time I came back to it the mind numbing-ness of it kicked back in.
It was an exhausting shift.

I think we should get some kind of credit for each time over the previous 2 years we’ve ran a code or participated in one of the ACLS scenarios, but in real life. Real life experience will top “book learning” every day.

You can bet I’ve participated in the codes in real life hundreds of times (maybe thousands over the last 26 years?) more often than the surgery center plastic surgeon I had the class with several years ago 🤣. Shouldn’t I get some OJT credit for that?

So off I go.
I’ll be home (Oregon home) just in time to put the chickens up for the night and collect eggs before dark. I’m housesitting for my housemate while she’s on vacation for 10d, so I get to play chicken mom 🥰

*Im being facetious. I know the importance of recertification of ACLS (and BLS, which I did 3wks ago). I’ve got NIHSS recert coming up in September (talk about long, mind numbing online modules 🙄🤦‍♀️)
I live on sarcasm, inappropriate humor, and caffeine. Speaking of, I think it’s time for some more caffeine.

Mr. French Chicks is going to have my head 🤣

I participated in a fundraiser and will be gifted eggs, sourdough bread, and fig preserves from the very generous folks at AnA Farms, LLC.

Look at these gorgeous eggs 😍

I’ve never considered having breeding pens, but with all I’ve got mixing it up in my flock, I might just have to separate some out and see what they give me.

We’ve had a coop waiting to be put together for longer than I care to admit, so we’d better get on it quick!

The first 3 (of 6 hatched over the last several weeks) turkey poults are ready to go to the outside brooder area in our main coop, and the 16 chicks they hatched with are soon to follow. Thankfully we’ve still got several weeks of growing and feathering out before the other 3 turkey poults and 7 chicks will be ready for the outside brooder.

Chicken math is REAL y’all. So is turkey math. So is quail math 🤣

Did y’all see my post seeking guinea eggs? There won’t be math there. They’re too loud to have many. They have absolutely beautiful feathers, but I’m wanting them for tick and red ant control, not for their eggs or meat, which is the purpose for most of the other birds (extraneous males go to Camp Kenmore).
Please let me know if you have a source for fertilized guinea eggs 🙏🏻😉

So anyway…check out those chicken eggs 😍😍😍

Help me find some eggs please 🙏🏻

I’m looking to incubate guinea eggs.

If you have a source I’d love to reach out to them.

Mississippi local is best, but I’m willing to get them from any state.

Well, HELLO!

My FB has not been loading for nearly a week. I haven’t been able to view ANY notifications, open any posts to see videos or comments, or make comments. Most frustrating of all, I couldn’t switch between my personal and professional pages 😡

I’ve been super frustrated by it. I’ve downloaded updates and restarted my phone several times and it didn’t change anything.

I also keep checking (habit?) and holy heck it’s finally working!! 🎉

So HI Y’ALL! I’ve missed you!!

*have a random pic of the eggs on my counter at home, as of yesterday. The red on the right is some of my un-paper towels. Best money saver I’ve implemented so far!
I’m in Oregon for work, for 3 weeks (half way done) and miss the family and farm so much! So not much to post, but as long as my phone will work, I’ll do my best 😉

Help me reach my goal, please 🙏🏻

I’m sure I’m not the only one with this challenge goal.

FB has challenged me to reach 5000 followers. It’s a very lofty goal I know, but with your help I might be able to make it.

I post about lots of various things, so let me tell you a little about myself.

I’m Susan. I’m a wife, a mom, a nurse who “super commutes” every other week, flying back and forth across the country, a crochet addict (most frequent project being comfort care blankets for patients in my ICU who we know are soon to pass away), a chicken/turkey/quail raising addict (raised for eggs and meat), a hatch-a-holic who’s constantly incubating more eggs than my husband would prefer but he tolerates it without complaint. Now, while we don’t ask each other for “permission” (like adding more to our flocks, nor anything else for that matter) we do discuss things with each other and make decisions after those conversations. This is especially important for the scenario of flock increases as he is their primary caretaker, and sole caretaker when I’m gone for 8d every other week for work. I’m an avid audiobook listener. I’m a massive “potty mouth”, but I’m cognizant enough of my surroundings and platforms that I keep it to nearly nonexistent when it’s not appropriate (know your audience ya know 😉)
I’m lots of things in between. I don’t pick fights, but I’ll stand up for myself (I promise I won’t slam your spelling if you promise not to slam my grammar and punctuation). I think I’m quite good at readily admitting when I’m wrong, and you know what? I’m human like everyone else and (gasp!) get things wrong. If I know I’m 100% right, and can tell you why (especially when I can give a source of the info), I’ll stand my ground. I’m always looking to learn something new, so educate me! I honestly think it’s just a figure of speech to say you learn something every day, cuz ya don’t, but even with 22y of experience as a RN, I learn something new often. Some things learned from TikTok since my husband send me medical stuff all the time. I appreciate respect and expect it in return (refer back to standing up for myself). I have integrity and I’m not only proud of that but also grateful. I’m not religious, and I’m not a big fan of talking politics, but I’ll get on a soapbox on occasion (just *usually* not on social media because there’s so much divisiveness and I’m not a drama zone). I have ADHD. Can you tell?🤭

Enough about me to join my chaos? I hope so.

Oh, I typically refer to my husband Aaron as Mr. French Chicks Farm, and my youngest as Little Miss but I won’t tell you her name because it has pretty unique spelling (only about 30 people when I googled it) and no one else in the world has her first and middle name combo even if they were traditionally spelled. She’s my fearless feral farm kid and I absolutely adore that about her. Idk how I forgot🤦‍♀️ but my oldest made me a grandma in February, and while I look old enough to be a grandma (insanely premature in greying), and chronologically I definitely am old enough (49), I don’t feel like I’m even remotely old enough (19)🤣. And last but as you’ll see definitely not least, I use emojis a LOT.

I’ll follow you back, but let’s be honest, I cannot keep up with engagement with my 2400+ followers and you’re 🥜 if you think I can at 5000. If you pop up in my feed, I’ll engage with at minimum a like, and often a comment.

Much love to you all. I hope you join my chaos and enjoy the ride.

♥️,

Did a little photo shoot with the new babies super early this morning before I left for my flight back to work.

I rolled the dice on putting them on my in progress crocheted blanket and I’m happy to report I won! Zero poops occurred 🎉

I’m loving the coloring of the little black one. BCM mama and could be any rando daddy with the options being Zombie, Speckled Sussex, Americana, or Mutt

Check out the little heart on the other chick’s head 😍. Gotta have a redeeming quality with a RBF face like that. It’s giving 100% effort at “mean mugging” 🤭

And last but not least, ya gotta have an escape attempt pic 🤣
