I've been a stay at home mom for the past 8 years and have enjoyed every wonderful moment with my 8 and 5 year old girls. But now that the youngest is in school, it's time I find a job and start contributing to the family. There is a position open at a different school for a paraeducator and I...
Hey Everyone! A friend of mine is having a chicken dispersal (crazy, I know!) and is needing to sell some chickens. He has 12 Buff Orpingtons, 9 SL Wyandotts and 25 Australorps. All pullets except for 2 australorp roos. All were purchased this spring from Estes Hatchery. The Wyandotts and...
I know I am late, but better then never... Here are pictures of my Estes Welsummers. They were hatched March 7th-ish. So they were about 8 weeks old in these pics.
Can you spot the roo? lol
Can't wait to see what they will look like all grown up
Please don't be disgusted with me but on my own choosing I went and cleaned up the coop and re-arranged the stuff in there, bedded it all down and hung the feeder and waterer. They had a ton of feed. But they are blocked from going outside because the pen needs a little tweeking. But after I...
Does anyone raise any Australorps? I was chicken gazings yesterday and was watching them and noticed the chicks are very "angry"... LOL One hen would run all over the inside of the coop chasing down another hen just to peck it. Talk about determined! Is this just a mean pullet or common...
Hello Iowa chicken family! I need some help. I have a friend that is looking for some adult birds. She is just getting into chickens and I told her I would try to help her find the breeds she is looking for. If anyone has any input or know anyone that is selling adult birds of the following...
Not sure where to post this so I will put it here. My friend is due to have twin girls in July and I am looking for a custom made diaper bag. For those who make them, would you be willing to quote me a price? I am wanting it made with some pink on it but it must have an IH Farmall "theme" to...
xe4: It's like you've read my mind.... Word for word. Glad to hear I'm not the only one frustrated.
SarahFair: Yep, I buy all the right detergent and stuff for it. I considered having someone come out and give it maintenance but frankly, we are selling our house and I am going to leave my...
Yep, that's where I noticed it the first time so I keep that clean. But didn't know if there were any other secret spots. I'm going to go disect the front of it to see if I can find any other hidden spots. It runs just fine, just can't figure out why it smells.
How do you get the smell out? Before I bought my washer I read to leave the door open when not in use or that it would "smell" because it would grow mildew and mold. I've cleaned out the inside lip of plastic. However, it really chaps my khakies that I open up my washer breathing in the nice...
Well, my wellie babies are due to arrive from Estes next week. I've read they are from the Harry Shaw breeder, does anyone know where his stock came from? I've googled some of the breeders names to figure out the different lines and have no such luck. Can someone humor me and give me a brief...
