Unk... I want some heirloom tomatoes. I don't like juicey tomatoes though. So keep me in mind for a couple meatier kinds. I also like strange and unusual (go figure)! I'll be good for three plants. Also, how are Ann's birds doing?

CC... I miss your smart *** snottiness when you fall behind on here. So stop doing your chores so much and roll over to the computer more often. Freaking overachiever ....

Terri.... If you want to bring me any of those chicks you aren't selling... I dont have enough chickens yet! I figured out when i weed out all the Wheaten roos for new homes or dinner, that leaves me with 9 pullets! I cant sell eggs to people with that! I do have 7 orpingtons of some kind right now. But with culling, selling, or general chick death, i have room to expand!! ! would take 2 Aussies and 2 Ameracaunas....

Jim... Would you please bring me guineas that are about a week old to the bash? That way I can pop them into the brooder with whatever hatches for me this weekend. Have I told you lately you are the Bestest EVER?!

MLH... I am super duper excited to get Icies from you! HOORAY!

WCC... I can't wait for you to get your Wheatens. You'll love them!


Ok... I love all you others but I do have to go now. I hope you all have a super day!

Does anyone here raise/have LF Salmon Faverolles?

 

If anyone is interested in my 9 month old Barred Rock Roo-please PM me!

 

Also I saw mention of a white elephant for the bash.....details? (Chicken related? New? etc) So I should  bring a white elephant item and a dish to share? Anything else I should know?

DAS glad its you and not me! Cute chick pics and duckling pics. TO that  bearded chick is super cute.UNK now where o where are the pics of your greenhouse?  I know there here just can't find them yet. You to mxmarg haven't found your pics either. Yet!  :)

I wont be going to the bash but I suppose you all knew that. Have a Blast for me!!!!

I think thats about it or what I can remember at least.

APYl... it all depends on the colors there are some crazy silkie color charts out there. I am sending some eggs over to Carols incubator and when they (if) hatch I will know which of my current two hens they came from. I am pretty sure I have one roo that is dominant and have never seen the other near the hens. I love my silkies.

 

Angie I have one salmon favorelle but not sure if it considered large fowl or bantam.. it is between the two. Very sweet mellow beard... love how the beard bounces when she walks.

 

You all have a blast at chickenstock and take some good pictures and raise a glass to those that are not there. Beleive me I have plants I could have shared and taken some back as well.

hi folks

 

400 ft of taters planted in the last 2hrs,,,time for a break!

 

CC I have been trying to grow maters here in the NWoods for over 30 yrs,,,think I should have it figured out by now,,,,,the gh is the secret here, as I get that dialed in maybe I'll really have them figured out,,,lol

 

BF4,,,,,you must really like "store boughts",,,no juice, just meat with little flavor

 

I can fix ya up for sure,,,,Ann's chickens are doing great, just ridiculously spoiled!!!

 

I was just kidding about the hot tub and ducks btw,,,,this thing is going in the gh for sure, next winter an indoor garden spa,,,,hmmm maybe sell memberships

 

so today in my chicken world I got to watch the whole flock chase a chipmunk??? wth don't they think they are "cute"?,,the last few days I have some turkey vultures at like 500ft,,,dang these birds have good eyes. When I don't see or here them I look up,,,,,yup more vultures

 

ok,,,back to the field b4 the rain

Are you looking to sell her? I would love to know more about personalities and expereinces with this breed-and where there might be some available in WI.

I have increased their protein and that seems to have helped some.  They are now blu butts so we will see if this works.  BTW~found out that GOOP hand cleaner (not the stuff in the orange in bottle but in the white tub) takes off Blu-Kote from your skin with little work!!!!  Good thing too because I had one hen that was not too thrilled with getting the back of her head sprayed and shook the stuff everywhere (aka on me!) and I was more concerned with getting the girls covered that I wasn't paying attention where my other hand was.  Without the GOOP I would have looked really weird at dinner on Mother's Day

If anyone wants some month old chicks at bash time let me know. The Ameraucanas Prettyboy and Geroge are the daddys to them all. Mom's are Australorp, Blue Ameraucana, Cochin, Gold Comet, and a few I'm not sure of. All the pullets from this batch should lay blue, green or brown eggs.

New, used, chicken, non-chicken, anything goes really. We play it as a game, everyone who brings a gift draws a number. We take turns picking, and then there is always some stealing involved, and it can get a little wild! And we never turn away good food.

Temp in the bator has evened out, now the humidity is getting wonky.  I put in a one pint jar half filled with water and the humidity went from 14% to 60% over night.  What should I have it at and what do I need to do to fix it.  I am hoping to put eggs in tomorrow.
