    What to do...

    So I have a 5 sq ft freezer chest that no longer works. I don't want to throw it out. I thought about making an incubator out of it but I already have a gqf cabinet and a hovabator genesis. Maybe just store feed in it? Give me some ideas on what else I could use it for.

    Looking for LF Cochin hatching eggs.

    My son (14 yrs old) was all set up to start with his LF black Cochin breeding program. But tragedy struck and his hen died. He's devastated. She was beautiful. He shows 4H and YEPA.

    I hate rose of sharon......

    It's everywhere! One whole corner of my property has turned into a rose of Sharon forest. It's like a hydra. I cut one down and 2 more pop up. I got the pick ax out but its going to take forever to dig it up and eradicate it. I don't even think it's pretty when it blooms. Sorry. Had to vent.
