  yes, many little pieces. I do fling some, but I have to admit, I like my Sumatra hens walking , on my feet to get the bread. 

    I'm always shocked how people take something typed on a forum so personally :) If I say it here I have done it. No Bull poop from me. I'm not arguing, I'm stating what I see in MY flock of 10 years.I'm NOT P.C. If that offends please just block me :)

Small farms are the wave of the future!


I have a silkie who is less than a year old and has gone broody once already....I have Sumantras on order and I hear they go broody occationally....the incubator is just cuz I want to hatch more Ameruacanas and I can't wait for a hen to go broody.

 

And I agree, food will be an issue....so I have seeds stockpiled too...fl.gif  that all this prep will go the way of Y2K and I will just have a life time supply of seeds and TP

Of all the things I ever lost, I miss my mind the most.

I have a PSA for my local folks, stolen from our volunteer fire company's Facebook page.  Nassau's Farm and Ag Committee (gotta love a town that has a farm committee!) is holding a small farm animal tailgate sale on Saturday, April 28, from 9 to 3 at the highway garage.  This sounds both promising and tempting.  lol.png

I'm doing the easter hatch too, although I already have way too many chickens! Rehoming like crazy as soon as the weather gets decent and all the girls are done molting. :P

I started with the chickens due to the 2012 EOW scare that has many in a frenzy.   IF they are right I don't want to be totally unprepared.  I am currently increasing my flock size due to time required to reach egg laying age....again, don't want to be unprepared.   I figure I can barter eggs for things I might need if things turn ugly.   If they don't and the world continues to spin, I'll eat the ones that piss me off and reduce my flock size to more managable levels.  (I just ate Rowdy the Roo tonight.  He  was yummy)



2012 EOW scare?

Ray's new job is gonna be the death of me. He now gets up at 6 am and if he's up EVERYONE is awake and might as well get up too.   It's 7:42 am and I have done EVERYTHING I need to do before work.   Don't have to leave for 1/2 an hour yet.   It's too cold to walk down and visit the chickens, so what do I do for 1/2 an hour?   It's too cold to take the baby chicks out of the brooder even.   Hurry up Spring, my flowers are already 6 inches high.  (I think I started them too soon)

6 am isn't so bad-DH now has to get up at 3 if there is any chance of snow or ice. And, his foreman, who is great, gets up at 3 everyday anyway because he LIKES to! Then he wants to chat on the Nextel. Blah blah beep beep. Go to bed already!

Incubator huh? I know where you can get hatching eggs, really close to your home. wink.png

Starting plants- _ am going to start Cauliflower from seed. When does everyone start theirs indoors. Tips?

Selling 3 doz hatching eggs to a preschool today. Then I need to go buy feed.

Have a great day!
