Chicken Scraps Blog

This blog post is a bit late, but now it will be more informative.  :) In July, when we took a family vacation, we also picked up Cleone, my first registered Border collie. I have been wanting for some time to begin breeding Border collies, and finally my hope is on the way to becoming a reality.  Our family vacation was the perfect opportunity to research a wider range of breeders, and find just the right puppy.

Well, spring has sprung here in Florida, and I am trying to move out some of my inventory.  Now through March 31st, all ready to ship items are on sale! I have a fairly large selection of fleece sweaters for sheep or goats in stock and ready to ship.  These sweaters are the ones made from remnants, or custom ordered fleece that I don't keep in stock, and they are already discounted $2 off the original price. Now take an additional 25% off this discounted price!

I have found that riding horses in skirts can  be fun and comfortable, as well as modest and pretty.  However, finding skirts suitable for riding is not fun or easy, so I am now offering my favorite style riding skirt for sale on my shop. Check it out over at Chicken Scraps Shop, and email me or order direct through Etsy to get your own customized skirt! From my Etsy listing: This lovely tiered skirt is perfect for almost any occasion. It is very full, spreading out to a complete circle when laid flat, sturdy, yet comfortable. 100% cotton (unless otherwise requested). A waistband with 3/4" elastic fits comfortably and snugly, made to just your measurements, and you choose your own preferred length. Available in standard blue denim, and black denim/ bottomweight (2% spandex). Sizing below is as follows according to waist measurement: Size 2= 24" Size 4= 26" Size 6= 28" Size 8= 30" Size 10= 32" Size 12= 34" Size 14= 36...

Chip is a really great little POA gelding.  Actually, he's not so little- 13+ hh, which makes him the perfect size for both children and small adults. Visit our farm website for more info about Chip:   feldmanfamilyfarm.weebly.com Here is a video (taken 11/27/15) of me riding Chip, in the pasture at home, and on the trail to a friend's house.

Recently, Savana went out to the pasture with me to take some (much overdue) pictures of Fenella.  She is growing "like a weed", and progressing well on her training.  She is rather mouthy, and will sometimes nip, but I never let her get away with this, as I detest nippiness. She is so sweet and easy to train.  I am beginning to want to keep her for myself, as Fannie is getting older.  Maybe there is some way to grow more grass...

 Fenella de Festina Lente is a very special filly, with lots of spirit and character.  Her bloodlines include Capuchino and Plebeyo.  I was able to begin handling her within 20 minutes of birth, and have continued her training since then.  She is very friendly, and not skittish, though she is very alert to her surroundings.
