When it rains, it pours We lost Ruby a week ago, our lead hen.

Today, Mama HoopStem went out to check on the chickens and was greeted by 2 VERY large dogs. We dont have dogs, neither do our neighbors. Dogs, from a mile away, escaped home and decimated our flock. Attacking the coop until the hardware cloth gave and the wood broke.

We found the owners thru social media, however, they only sent their child to get the dogs and haven't replied to the damage.

I am not okay. I am just not okay

Raising livestock also means dealing with loss. Today we lost one of our original 6 chickens, Ruby to a ruptured internal egg. She was the leader of the pack and brought me so much joy for these last 18 months.

Thank you for teaching me how to be a chicken mom and keeping the other girls in line Ruby!

Mama HoopStem decided to try her hand at extruded pasta and well - every new skill takes time - these may not look the best but it was a learning experience

Learning experience aside, the end result was delicious and enjoyed by the whole family.

Anyone have any tips for making successful extruded pasta??
