Weekly iPhone Roundup {2.25 - 3.3}

 Another week has come and gone. My grandma used to tell me that the older you go, the faster time passed. That is the truest statement I've ever heard anyone make in my entire life. Don't get me wrong, time went by fast at times when I was a kid, but nothing compared to today.

I think the logic behind this is that the older you get, the more precious time becomes to you. When you're little you don't think about things like that. For me, I was mainly worried about having to go to school or summer break being too short. Once you grow up and the reality of life hits you, that's when time runs short.

Anyways, that was a little over the top, lol.

This week as semi-uneventful I suppose. Ended up going home through Farmington just so we could hit up the Desloge Walmart because they're the ONLY place that has Dr. Pepper Zero Strawberries & Cream. Let me just say... worth it!! I'm a huge fan of Dr. Pepper to begin with. I only drink the diet or zero, but both are amazing. I'm not huge on flavored soda, but this one is the best thing ever.

Aside from that, I also made the mistake of going into Buchheits over the weekend and acquiring more baby chicks. I called them Saturday and was told that they had both Silver Laced and Golden Laced Wyandottes. Literally one of my favorite chicken breeds ever! By the time I got to the store, all the Silver Laced were sold, which was massively depressing because that's the one I wanted more. Instead of getting one of each color, I got two Golden Laced and two adorable White Brahma chicks. 

I have to stop. This is becoming an expensive addiction.

I guess that's all for now. 

McDonald's Americanos are addicting.

Damp and foggy night in Perryville last weekend.

The streets in Perryville always look so creepy at night.

It helps that two cops live next door.

Here are the new baby chicks. Two Light Brahmas and two Silver Laced Wyandotte's.

Here's the highly sought after Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream Zero.

Finally starting my herb seed collection. I found two different types of Basil, Thyme, Dill and Chives. Still have a few more to go.

Here's all the baby chicks snuggled up in a box while we clean their bedding.

All the older chicks (Easter Eggers, Dominiques, Barred Rock) fast asleep.

Their long little chicken necks make me want to squeeze them.

Here's all the younger chicks - I legit love them so much.

But I honestly don't know who couldn't love baby chicks.

- Weekly iPhone Roundup {2.18 - 2.24}

 What an eventful week! So my aunt surprised us with 6 Easter Egger chicken over the weekend and they are the CUTEST! Then I made the mistake of calling Buchheit's Saturday and finding out that they had all kinds of baby chicks! I ended up getting 8 more chicks. I know, that's kind of a lot at once, but I couldn't help myself. 

I ended up getting 2 Barred Rock, 2 Dominique, 2 Polish Crested and last, but definitely not least... 2 Silkies!! We have a white little roo, so I got a white Silkie and a buff colored Silkie. Little known fact about me, Silkies are my favorite chickens in the world, so it tickled me to death to find baby Silkies. I wanted to take them all, no joke.

Then out of nowhere Tuesday evening, our white Polish Crested got very lethargic. She was just standing off to herself, not eating or drinking, just sleeping. I got her out and held her and fed her some chick started mixed with water. I would scrape a small amount on her beak until she would finally eat it. Then we dripped some sugar water on her beak, which she ended up drinking. It took a few hours for her to come around, but thank God she did. 

By the end of the night she was standing in the food and eating herself!

I guess that's all for now, here are the pics from the week (there's a lot):

McDonald's for the win Saturday night.

It was so dead in Perryville Sunday night, like more than usual.

Here are the beautiful little Easter Egger chicks!

I love them so much.

Here are the little chicks in their new home for the sex several weeks.

I unintentionally had 4 white cheddar items in my cart Monday. Definitely wasn't planned.

Canning jars galore at Buchheits!

Oh how I wanted every single one of these baby ducklings.

Here's the new additions.

I also grabbed a big pack of ammo from Walmart for our new .22 handguns that my mom and step dad got LaVaughn and myself for Christmas.

Here are all the little chicks together. It's hard to tell them apart in this pic.

The little black ones are the Barred Rock and Dominique. The grey and white is one of the Polish Crested, the other Polish and two Silkies are mixed in there somewhere.

Look how much my lemon sprouts are growing! I topped them off with more soil earlier this week, but I think they look amazin.

Here's our little white Polish Crested. She was so pitiful.

She also looks very hateful.

But she's a sweet little baby chick.

I went for a ride Wednesday to try and find a Bald Eagle that I saw on the drive home Monday. I didn't find it, unfortunately.

I drove down C highway, which is pictured here. There's always Bald Eagles in this location.

What's kickin' chicken?

Well it's official, there are new chickens in the hen house. My aunt drove a pretty long distance and picked up 9 new checks. All of which are hens. Since LaVaughn and I hadn't seen them yet, we decided to go see what they looked like and snap a few pictures in the process.

In other news... oh wait, there is no other news. I know, major boring factor. I guess you'll just have to wait until next time. And until then, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pics:

Gandalf the White. Can you think of a more fitting name for a white Silkie bantam rooster? Didn't think so. :)

Here's one of the new chickens. I believe this is a Buttercup chicken? My aunt will probably correct me on this, lol.

One of the new Dominique chickens.

Some of the Dominique chicken next to Serafina.

Maybe this is the Buttercup chicken?

Serafina the Duck.

Look at how huge Leo is! Still such a pretty boy.

I don't believe I've posted about them, but we have 3 turkeys too! They've been here for a while now.

My show covered in mud and chicken feed.

This little girl is hands down the sweetest chicken ever! She needs a name...

Serafina trying to eat a grape tomato.

She was able to eat it after LaVaughn busted it for her.

Another one of the turkeys.

The new turkey next to two of the new hens.

Pretty, aren't they?

Perhaps these are the Buttercup chickens...

Close up on the crazy turkey eyes!
