Robin Holstein

Happy 25th Anniversary to my Mr. Holstein! #silver #always #nostr #grownostr

I have picked up some odd virus somewhere. It started about 9 days ago. By Thursday I was feeling bad enough to get a Rona/flu A/B test. Went to the doc Friday. Doc gave me three steroid pills, an antibiotic, and a nebulizer treatment in office. I also go two prescriptions, and a follow up appointment. The aggravating cough is almost gone, but I have zero stamina. I get tired walking across the room. I had several gardening projects to get done that I haven’t even started. #grownostr #nostr #gardening #homesteading

Well! Where did THAT come from? Since my girls have never laid dark eggs before, I suspect this is from one of the backyard neighbor ducks we took in last fall. Don’t fret. The egg is perfectly good. Some duck breeds lay dark eggs at the start of the laying season then, like an emptying laser printer cartridge, they get lighter as time goes on. Cayuga ducks, which I suspect these are, are the most well-known breed for dark eggs. The color comes from a heavy black pigment or “bloom” on the surface of the shell. #ducks #homesteading #eggs #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y'all! Most of you "get" homesteading, even on a small scale. This is just a real-life reminder for those thinking of starting a backyard flock or stock. You don't get to stay under the covers, and "snow days" don't matter. LOL #nostr #grownostr #chickens #ducks #winter #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #bnb https://youtu.be/mgtfMI0U6wY
