Good morning all! Outpost, I went off of coffee in March, then all caffeine in May (including black tea) when I was on a healing diet. I've found my adrenals can't take the caffeine. Last week I started up again and my sleep has been terrible all week- only on tea or 1-2 cups of coffee early...

Ah, that sucks Alaskan! Good luck with the shipped eggs Thanks for the info on the Doms! I am definitely liking what I hear. I read on the Dom thread about Cackle being a decent source so if I can't find anyone relatively close I may do that. Also, read on the same thread that Mark Fields...

Oh, yes, I remember seeing you there Deb. I don't think I ever posted there, just read the first many many pages and I was sold. I'll never brood in the house again! I will make a small protected space in the main coop with the mama heating pad. It will be easier to integrate the chicks with...

Forgot to respond to this post...Beer, have you heard of the mama heating pad? I made one for my chicks and it's awesome! I hated having a light on them and them having to have a light on at night for warmth. I like how the pad mimics a broody hen and they can self regulate and have it dark...

Thank you Beer, I have considered those but I would like something docile enough for my kids to handle a lot - especially my 5 year old. On second thought, she's becoming quite tough. She's been catching and holding the girls we got as POL pullets with no prior handling. Chicken whisperer in...

Thank you! I love seeing all of your updates. You all are one busy bunch! I meant to ask you Briard, how do you like your Chanteclers?(that was you, right?) They are one of the breeds I was going to get this past spring but the breeder flaked (I had been on her waiting list for Partridge...

Ravyn, she's beautiful. Which of your breeds are most snuggly? While our Ameraucanas are friendly and very tolerant of being held frequently, they do not seek it out. The rest (except for the more docile Wellie) definitely do not enjoy being held (Marans, Wellies, SFH, CL- to be fair the last...

@Beer can those Langshans are gorgeous! Please do share pics when you get yours! I am really really wanting some blue in my flock. I just preordered some pure Ameraucanas and I'm hoping to get at least 2 blue wheaten. He breeds the WBS-wheaten/blue wheaten/splash varieties. I also ordered 2...

@bamadude what do you think of your Marans and Cream Legbars as breeds? These are both high on my list. I am getting one 3 mo old CL pullet and I may order some FBCM chicks from the same breeder. I'm also getting 2 Swedish Flower Hens (5 mo old pullets) from them. I really want some Marans, the...

Congrats Jem (and grandaddy Bama). I think I saw Sharps Big 50 at the show but I don't know what you look like so I don't know if I saw you or not. I just remember him and thinking he looked familiar. My son and I were buying the honey sticks. Didn't stick around for the end so I'll have to go...

x2 :) Jem, have you heard of Just Fowling Around in Brewster, WA? I am getting a few POL pullets from them and maybe having them hatch some French Black Copper Marans. They have a friend who makes the drive to Everett once or twice a month (otherwise it's an 8 hr roundtrip). He's coming next...

Jem, how many do you want and how long will you be gone for? Maybe I could get them for you and babysit for a bit...if you don't mind them being socialized by my kids - they'll be on spring break. They would be gentle though.

@Amberjem check out April 1st (no joke ;) http://www.valleyfarmcenter.com/promotions.html Maybe you can call ahead to reserve or at the very least, be there when they open. Have been checking in, just quiet... We found a coop and it was delivered yesterday - a great first coop and it was...

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking... And BeerCan, you are posting some nasty pics lately! Congrats Amberjem!! More pics please?

@vehve very nice looking bunny. My son wants one...nope for now at least. New chicken adventure, remodel and subsequent move is enough for now thank you very much! @perchie.girl hilarious Popeye's story! and @bamadude you are one pretty funny dude. Even if you make no sense a lot of...

Haha - I can relate - though thankfully my little boy (3rd grade) hasn't done that to me so late at night. He was grounded all last week for leaving an essay until the last minute - after having asked him daily if he had any homework Guess I have to be Super Strict Mom with him. He's too...

x2 One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books.

Except for all the showers you'll need...immediately after taking one...

I remember my best friend in college lived in the Portland, OR area when in High School and he told me he left a cup of water on his dresser overnight with the window cracked and it froze overnight. Being a SoCal gal I couldn't imagine sleeping in a house that cold! However.... I would choose...

Good morning! Stay safe those of you in the path of the storms... It's my first year living in a cooler climate and I braced myself for a cold winter, only to experience one of the warmest the PNW has had I think. Oh well, still colder than SoCal and I like to think Mother Nature was gentle on...
