Oh no, I am so sorry!

Have you had a chance to check the ingredients on the specialty diet? Might be able to make it cheaper.

A friend made her Chihuahua a monthly batch...made portion sized balls, froze them and kept in the freezer.
Might make a week or two week batch for Triumph.
Of course time is valuable too.

No thanks...I'm not ready for making dog food.

I used to collect bells as well. That came about from my grandmother who collected them. When she passed away I got most of her collection. I have this wooden bell. I don't know how old it is but I think it is quite old. Probably not valuable or anything. Just old in a neat way. I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

My great grandmother collected little glass and ceramic shoes and slippers. I have her collection.

You never know! Some of the weirdest, ugliest stuff that you would never think would ever be valuable can be really valuable! But then of course some stuff you think is worth a ton ends up being worth nothing. It is really weird what is and what isn’t. Ever watch Antiques Roadshow? I love that show.

Also sorry about your grandma.

Read an article that Corningware cookware is very collectible now. Some rare pattern...low production pieces can be worth $10,000.

View attachment 1998068 View attachment 1998069 This is the bell that I was talking about. There aren’t any kind of markings so I’m assuming that it’s one that someone made. My grandmother had it for I don’t know how long before I got it and I am 44. It’s nothing extravagant. I just think it’s neat.

Eta: I really need to put some wood oil/polish on it. I will probably do that since I have it out now lol.

Could that be an old school desk bell. Pioneer teachers had the outside bell, but many had one for their desk.

Yes, I have watched Antique Roadshow many times. It is amazing some of the finds people have. I love learning about the history of the items.

Then you would like the show "American Pickers" History channel.

Swaps are great for that!

Last one I went to, I sold 1 chick but got tons of contacts. Now I have a waiting list

Im telln ya i had to write down my name and number so many times i started doing it as part of my prep.

Kelsey on this front i wanna remember to tell you put up a flyer at your TSC is another sales option. Only got a few sales from that but since u only have the one clutch.... also, if your coop is in order? i wouldnt keep a rooster from the hatchery clutch, i would order from a pure flock and start a breeders colony where when that hatching bug digs in your able to hatch from your own pure stock.

I have my favorite "mom is the heart of her home" that my daughter bought me for Mother's Day when she was three.
And FireKing cups as well as a lovely blue Anchor Hocking cup. Then hubby has a collection of police cups.


Need to get the turner mechanism on the cabinet fixed or I will be using the three Hovabators all hatching season....severely reducing my hatching numbers.
Love my Columbian Wyandottes!

Those are gorgeous! I dont have a cab bator just 3 brinsea's but i staggered them through there so that i had a hatch every wk for most of the year. I liked raising them in small batches where they were a little less flighty and it was easier to maintain close supervision on them. I hardly lost any after hatches. Always had something avalible this way too and helped keep sales a little more steady.

Say turk how was your stint in the real world?

Hey ya Mr Sam! It was alright i guess. We all got sick and that doesnt happen here in the pretend world! However, first year i was able to get pics of each of the children with Santa im another year older, but they had a good holiday and thats all that matters.

Can't put live animals on FB MarketPlace, just so you know, not without breaking rules.... I'm not very good at reading rules before posting.....

Isn't selling animals not allowed on CL too?
I'm not sure but I think you are only allowed to 'rehome' them.

Not allowed to sell pets but they (intelligently) differentiate between livestock and pets.
