today would be nice! lol I am sooo uncomfortable and tired right now

I thought last wednesday was going to be the day, as I was up for 2.5 hours early early morning (2:30 am) with 7 and then 5 min contractions, and then they went back to 15 minutes right as we were thinking maaayyybe we should head to the hospital lol! but really nothing since... they have been getting slightly stronger, but nothing consistent since then. and the wind, the wind is crazy here! kicking up a ton of dust... I see some clouds up by provo, and a few over here, but they're moving fast.

I don't know if I posted the silkie pic on here... but here ya go, for those that haven't seen it the beautiful silkie known as 'Tribbles' from Cynthia

Great photo! It's been super windy in Lehi. I'm worried what it's doing to my yard at home in Herriman.

Is there a place where you can get a lot of chicken food that is cheaper than the chain stores?

Yes, if you take your own can or barrel you can get 100lbs for $19.96 or something like that at Leland Mills in Spanish Fork. I offer free choice oyster shell and I'm getting good egg production with it.


I did talk to an old timer that will not buy it because it's made in the open and he's worried about wild birds in the barn. But I wonder how you know if what he's buying at purina, IFA, etc doesn't have the same thing?

Is there anywhere closer by chance? Thanks. In the SL area.

I'm buying bagged layer crumbles at Tractor Supply in Paradise for 12.99 a bag. It's Dumore which I believe is their house brand. The chooks seem to love it.

There is a mill in Ogden that is a bit cheaper as well that I considered. But I decided the extra $3 per 50 pounds is worth the convenience to me. Plus if I had to drive far I would burn more than that in gas and have to come up with a bulk storage solution. I prefer to let them store it in their temperature controlled stores.

I had switched when they were still on a grower feed because the were making such a mess with the IFA mash and Dumor had a grower crumble. When theY graduated to layer I stayed with the Dumor brand for price. I also like the selection of other supplies and feeds the have at Tractor Supply.

I know the farm stores typically have them in the spring time, I've seen them on ksl from time to time also

Bleh. Field dressing a turkey is not my preferred way to start a morning, but our tom got way too aggressive and today was the final straw. I'm not going to lie, this is not one of my favorite parts about being a farm wife.

Sorry had to vent where I knew someone would understand. I'll catch up on posts later.

Yucky job, no fun! Hope the dinner he makes helps you forget about the yucky prep
I hate it when birds turn mean!
