Grace if I understood this we send four and get back four different ones. If we want one of that block we're suppose to make five. BTW. Those are SO CUTE!

That's what I thought, just double checking.:)
Thanks!

Here's an idea for my second set. What do you think...yes or no??
Block measures 9.5 x 12.5"

Those are wonderful Ms. Grace, I will take one of those. Nothing like canned chicken to make the cold weather stay away or is that canned chicken soup and a cold. Hmmmmm sounds interesting.

This (along with the fall swap that I've now joined) is my first time swapping! I'm so excited! I might do 3 sets...depends on how many I get done :)

Awesome Homespun. You are going to love your finished quilt with the chickens. I have so enjoyed the last one I swapped in and it was a beginning swap. You go girl.

If you have a Tractor Supply or some type of feed store near you, get them some Duramycin-10.
It's an antibiotic. I was told to use this the first week of a chick's life when we bought our first batch 3 years ago.
We haven't lost 1 yet.
The antibiotic is a powder that goes into their water. They really need it. I think it's around $7 here, and it's good for years.

Update on our chicks that arrived May 30th. In the first 24 hours we lost 8 of our 11 chicks and then, 3 more. :(However, the good news is that the remaining 7 are doing fine, growing like weeds and havin' fun. :) It must have been a turbulent jet flight to our town.

Great idea... canned chicken! DH's Mom used to can their elk meat so why not chicken?

MsGrace...love the jars! The lid fabric is also really clever! Your canned chicken looks a lot better than my canned meats! LOL!

We have white crowned black bantams, white silkies and a variety of others. Oh, the last photo is the girl showin' off her nails. :D:D She certainly doesn't need knox gelatin to make it long and strong. :D :D :D

Love your Bantys!! Have a storie about one we had on the farm as a kid: It was a White Male And he was Mean!! would attack you and jump on your head try to get your eyes, well my mom had told Him if He did it one more time She would 'Wring' his Neck, He jumped on my niece who was only 14 mo. she 'grabbed him and That was That!! LOL
