there are many in your area too. Actually, there is a show in Stevenson this weekend. You are fairly close. Many will not be on the board this weekend as they are at the show...you are only gonna get to talk to us few who were not lucky enough to go.  We are jealous.  Well, at least I am.  I wanted so bad to go. But I have eggs hatching. Probably best I stay home.

There is a show in Milton Freewater that I have signed up for (i'm bringing Kamaria, Poppy Seed, Tyto, and Moone) that is at the beginning of may. I can't wait!

Oh, yeah. At the walla walla fair last year, Kamaria won Best of Show for the bantams!! I was so surprised that my hardly-tamed pullet won best of show on the first year that I have showed chickens!

Sooooo I went to dels to pick up more chick food and found out my white broadbreast turkeys are about 5 weeks old, my buff orpingtons are 2 1/2 weeks old and then the rest i have no idea because they are auction chicks... so I bought two bronze brested turkeys. The whites are going outside here soon... lol

Well, I just wanted to pop on and say    to all the newbies!

Went to Stevenson yesterday, met up with CR and Sadie Sue, and Ultasol, and a few other BYCers! Got some new breeding stock Muscovy's from CA, and a crap load of hatching eggs!!!  Thanks to all you enablers!! Now, I have to figure out which bator to use!!  Got a fridge to make over into an incubator if I can find the right plans. Anyway, for all who have been following the hip saga, I will be going to Seattle tomorrow and will have a pain injection on Tuesday am, so   it will work till I can get an outside doc to make permanent plan for treatment!

It is hot as all get out here, and I am in the middle of creating my kidding pen, so, I will catch up with you all later this week and let you know how the injection is working!!  It was good to see everyone yesterday and if I was out of it and a downer, sorry, the months of not sleeping well are catching up to me!!  Take care!!

We have been working our tails off.

Yesterday we completely tore off all the plastic on the green house & all the wood holding it down, and redid it with the 'Solar Maxx' I ordered....It is now DONE and looks great !

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

And man was it ever hot in there !

 

 

Nice & clear !!!!!!!! The old stuff was just heavy construction type plastic & was super brittle and cracking apart & smoky-like.

New stuff lets in so much more light & is 10 mil thick & reinforced with strings throughout, very pliable & strong.

 

Now it is coop cleaning day....................and building a seperate run/shelter for mr Peeps the Tom turkey, I do not want him in the same pasture as the broody hens, which should have pips next Tuesday !                

So we have to go pound T-Posts in & rig Mr Peeps up a corner for his own self. 

 

Y'all have a happy sunny Sunday !

 

 

Hi there,click on your name, go to profile and click on your posts which will bring up all your posts.....that way you can see where you were......eliz

I'm thinking she meant she did NOT WANT TO go back over everything.  There are times I don't either...too many to try and catch up on . Don't have the time always.

Thinking about distance to Stevenson vs to Salem, would be about the same for many like me coming from the North if i could go,,,,,,,, if you come from the east side am guessing another hour.....Stevenson to Vancouver 205 about 40 min. Columbia River crossing to Salem 20-30 min. eliz

 

I looked it up this morning and in total, it would be 420 miles each way, so about 100 miles each way more than Stevenson for us :(

ick...not fun. That must add around that for me too.

Ok I love the heat but to much for me today, it feels like Im in a sauna.

    tod hubby today what I was going to use for the chicken coop, he said NO thats for the goats! He's going to make them more to play on. Ok well now I cant get mad about that.

 Put my English Orp chicks outside in the milk room with some BCM chicks. Ive never let them out of the house this young so we will see. Im sure I'll be up all night wondering if they will be warm out there. 

  Oh my gosh trimed my buck Fusions feet today and let him run around in one of the pastures, its so cute this pasture has a Little tykes play house for girls all pink and blue, I could find him so looked in it and he's sleeping with his head on the table. So cute for the big smelly guy. My poor husband had to help me when I was trimming his feet. He gave him tree branch's so he'd hold still for me. Than he was full and looked at my little husband all 5ft 4 in and maybe 120 pounds. I told hubby to get out of the pasture and Id handle it. Fusion will mind me he knows whos boss.

Dawng   love the first picture - chick with beard, he(?) looks like Abraham Lincoln.
