    We had leftover bricks from building our home. I used those but we also have about 6-8inches of pine shavings on top of the bricks....

    Economy Cooking from your pantry

    Has anyone tried Cowboy Stew..... 1 lb ground hamburger meat, browned and drained 1 large can of corn, drained 2-3 large cans of ranchstyle beans, not drained (3 cans if you need to stretch the meal) Heat all together and serve!!! My kids like to add louisiana hot sauce and fritos to it.

    Pictures of these chickens

    If you want a good variety of pics on these birds just google each breed. You will get more pics than you know what to do with!!! Are these the breeds that you are looking at getting? Cochins are beautiful!! All of the breeds you are looking at are very pretty....hard decision.
