Still raining hard here too. At least my new roof is holding up *so far*.

Just let the rest of my chickens out. Still raining a bit and windy, but they were happy to get out. My leghorns have a nice dry coop but they opted to stand in the muddy run and now look very bedraggled. But now all out - hopefully there's some nice bugs around! We didn't lose power except...

Quote: Ack! Sorry to hear that Cass. I am having my roof reshingled this week and I told DH it would be just my luck that the storm would rip the roof off and I'd have to explain to the insurance company that I 'just happened' to find someone to redo it this week. We have a LOT of trees...

Quote: I am leaving all mine in for the moment too - they are NOT liking that. One of my coops is a growout coop that I rarely have food or water in, so had to add that. My hens from one coop usually run over and lay their eggs in that one instead of in their own fancy nestboxes (grr), so we...

Quote: ditto!! it was great!

Quote: I am so sorry you could not make it.. I came home early but had a ton of fun. Quite a good turnout and great auction items. I got my honey and my hatching eggs. Nice birds too and now I know all sorts of stuff I need to do for my coop. Had fun meeting everyone! Hopefully someone will...

Quote: That is so funny! My DH could care less. We live in such a populated area there are always people around. If the power goes out, once for 2 days in the past 18 years I've lived here, it's still no big deal even in winter. Water is city and has generator, we heat with wood anyway and...

My DH, as previously noted, is a survivalist nut, so he makes sure we have a whole house generator wherever we were living. When we were in California, it was used a LOT, sometimes for weeks at a time - we were up in the mountains with fires/floods/huge snowstorms and it seemed the power went...

Quote: Awesome! I have instructions from my friend - I think it's to be cooked for about an hour IIRC. I'll bring instructions and thawed spanakopita. Plus she kindly included the recipe. I am a horrible cook, so I appreciated her help! I am thinking 12ish for us. My hubby is a late...

Unless I hear otherwise (Like I should cook it there) will bake the spanakopita before coming. Hey, it could be considered an appetizer I guess. I think we'll leave here 11ish and be there 12ish +/-.

Quote: waaah! tell DH he is a big party pooper. doesn't he want to talk to my DH about his crazy bomb shelter and survivalist stuff? That stinks - here's hoping you can break out the guilt trip! Featherz, my DH will probably be more than happy to talk about the bomb shelter and...

Quote: What is Oxine and what is it used for? And yes, I still need 2 dozen eating eggs. I'll pay for them. Will bring eggs then. And Oxine is a pricey disinfectant but some on here are also using it as a 'miracle' treatment by fogging the birds and putting it in the water, etc. It's also...

Quote: OMG! Oxine would be great! I have been wating to order some but just haven't gotton around to it. Just so everyone knows: Snacks, etc until 3:30 then time for FOOD! Hoping for a campfire after eating, with S'mores of course. The pool (cold ) will be open, bring suits and towels...

Hey, been pondering what to bring for the auction.. How about an extra gallon of Oxine? Had to buy two to save on shipping and I haven't even made a dent in the first one. Great stuff! Cass, do you still need eating eggs? Have plenty!

Quote: Oh no! I hope you can still come . Storm is predicted Sunday here, but seems to not be coming on quite that strong here. We shall see.

Quote: I had hoped to have something - chicks, eggs, etc, but the chickens were not willing. Hmm. I'll ponder it today and let you know by tomorrow!

Is anyone bringing hatching eggs they would like to sell/trade? I don't need a whole dozen, just four or five. InHisService donated the last five eggs to my first broody and now my other frequently broody wants a chick also. Anything will do, just as long as they are chicken eggs (no facilities...

Quote: LOL no, I just gave a pile of NN roos away. My EE roo doesn't tolerate any testosterone in his zone. I have a little BO roo (still pretty tiny at 12 weeks old) in the next coop over that keeps his distance and has so far kept all his feathers. Mohawk chick is back under mom. It's...

I caught a skunk this morning!! Anyone want me to bring him to the party? Are ya sure? And in no way are my NN scary..
