Quote: I don't know anymore that what I posted. She contacted Donna and me and had Donna send me Lav Split Am eggs in place of the eggs she owed me. Haven't heard anything since......that was in March.

She told me I could send her Wheatens anytime and there was no rush, but I couldn't reach her either.

Well my week from H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS is almost over

When it stops raining again!

The flooding rains we had a few weeks a go made a MESS out of my breeding pens. We had to DIG IT ALL OUT and replace the runs with gravel. WELL that seemed fine till day 3 and the bobcat broke down... 2 days later it was working but those poor chickens where cooped up the WHOLE TIME

Now they are ALL free and running. We are going to revamp the coop part. Change the nest boxes out for nice tough plastic ones. I will NEVER use pine shavings in there again! That was the main problem. The pine shavings would fall out of the coop and just sit there and build up. Water could not drain through it. We still have to dig out from under the coop and add gravel but the runs are mostly done. We are going to use SAND in the coops now. Hubby took the truck today to go get me a load of sand. They said they would fill the truck for $30 it was their min. He called me back and said my truck is squating and it is only half full.

he called me back after they weighed the truck he had 4800lbs of sand in a 1986 f-150

he mad it home... poor truck. It was like pulling TEETH to get him to get me some sand when we were working on the runs... now he wants to convert EVERYTHING over to sand

BTW we had a conversation about composting without turning... I don't think pine shavings will EVERY compost. We are going to move the compost pile down to the garden and just till it in and hope for the best. I am telling you even working them some they don't compost. You can still see all the pine flakes just like the day we put them in over a year ago. I need to burn that stuff. .... or SAND might work.
