Oh and the person taht asked me if i would take a check for $4 eggs, well they ended up becoming really good friends of mine - Funny how that works out.
I sell silkie chicks on Craig's list. I'd have to say its about 75% that it will lead to a sale.
Seller Beware!!! I get a lot of people that will call and just ask for my address or text and ask for my address. I do not give it out until i have spoken to the person and fell like they are on...
Seems like the anwser would be colored numbered zip ties. Wonder if those are sold anywhere? Will zip tie work to show a bird? Or is this just for backyard ID?
I have 1 nesting box where 3 silkie hens are all broody. I finally gave them eggs and they just keep stealing them for each other.... Strangest things. All together i think i have 8 broody hens..... So silly - there are no eggs under most of them....
I have used that Website and i like it - but its not the same as getting good local advice on an area. We have Friends that moved to Wymoing and they explin how most of the large storms go thru this mountain pass so they get less snow - or something like that. Also have a friend that lived in...

Congrats on the book! Thats exciting. I love to read, but can not write. I seem to have everthing come out wrong when i write. Its like the words in my brain can not seem to ever come out right on paper...
Like i was saying I'm a bit crazy. I think i would be happier off grid. I'm a very hard worker. But i do most of my work for an entity that does not really owe me anything, I could be laid off tomorrow like it was nothing.
I'm in the thought pattern that i rather go get a 50 lb bag of beans...

Place your raised beds off the ground like up on cinder blocks. Then you will save your back from bending over and you'll never have a gopher problem that will make you act like Bill Murray in Cadyshack. Whom i felt like till i put in double layers of chicken wire under my raised beds.

Jade
Aloe
Potato bush - purple flowers (poisonous)
lavender
palm trees
This year I've been amazed at how few of the flowers they've touched but as soon as the grass starts to get brown they may go for more flowers so i don't want to...
