    signs on your coop

    Wendy I bought my sign at a flea market too. Mine was painted by a man who builds cool bird houses. The sign is painted to look distressed and says"EGGS 5 cents a dozen". My dh says I need to change it to read $5.00 a dozen.(Wishful thinking)

BTW my DD had nerve...

    Ideal Feathers

    I would research fly fishing and fly tying to get some ideas on which would be best. Edit to add:People will also buy feathers for crafts but I think you could make the most money by selling to fly tyers-say that 3X's fast.

    Who am I ?

    I believe all the chipmunks are hatchmates. As the 2 blacks are-to each other not to the chipmunks and the yellows are hatchmates to each other but not any others. Is that confusing? (I don't mean to sound sarcastic I am wondering if that makes sense cause I feel a lil confused just writing it). LOL
