That's so cute! There is no way you could be old enough to have grown boys, I don't believe you!well we hung with the chickens all afternoon, cleaned the layers coop, silkies pen, cochins coop, as well as the brahma pen.... they had snack time and we bleached dishes and so on.... they were pretty muddy today so not much holding going on... My Roo is sick or something... he just isnt right we all did pet him for a bit because we just dont know whats going on, no signs of anything, just seems tired! and doesnt even run away when the dog is in his face... strange poor guy : (
tomorrow they will all get warm oatmeal with some canned corn in it too...
All the dogs..... well they should just be glad I left them back in the house after they all dug a muddy hole to china in the middle of the septic system!!! I will message santa to leave the bones to those who deserve them!!! lol
I made two snowman towers of presents for my older sons and wrapped new Pjs around their necks lol
I dont have hats!!! UGGGG DH forgot them at Cabelas!!! suggestions???? I hot glued coal on them lol
I was upset because EVERY stinking roll of wrapping paper has guide lines on the inside of the paper! I wanted white packages! and out of butcher paper : (
ADDING a BTW...... skull and antlers..... LMAO one of my older sons furiture and crap is still in the lower level where I wrap and hatch!! thats his piggy bank and antlers from a buck he found on the job... he is in forestry
That was interesting! I think when I visited my mother's home town, that I saw musk oxen, all very interesting animals!
What a truly pro job! Congrats on having such skill!Getting closer to NYD hatch time, but at the same time seems so FAR away!
Just got done building a new door for the coop since this winter storm decided to rip it off the coop and wreck the old one. This one is sturdier and will look great painted barn red with white trim when I repaint the coop in the spring. Think it turned out pretty good and the dimensions are actually exactly what I started off planning for, which is a plus. LOL
I don't understand how it works, could you do a tutorial? Please?Since I'm expecting lots more birds this year we are working on diy chicken feeders made from things we have on hand.
This is a test run, if it works well then we'll make 6 or 7 of them, otherwise we'll tweek the design till it works.
The main point (besides spending $0 , is to have it hold 2-3 days of feed which will stay dry & get eatten not wasted (spilled etc).
So this is a homemade version of the $20 standard hanging style chicken feeder.
Made from 1x2litter bottle, 1xlarge coffee can, 1x 2 gal bucket w/ lib (food grade gotten free at doughnut shop), 1 wire clothing hanger (free bucket plastic handles break off instantly on use), 1x 2inch self tapping metal roofing screw which we had on hand, one DH w/ misc. tool & 40 mins time.
It will need to hand in a basically dry area, no rain or snow, but it should keep a 2-3 day supply of feed safe from minor dampness and useable.

I've seen a lot of posts where people did this and it worked really well, I'm sure it will for you as well!CHICK UPDATE:
So all of my chicks are doing well eating and drinking and generally frolicking. But I noticed just about an hour ago that one chick was sort of hopping along and not standing up straight like all the others. I picked her (I think she is based on tip wing feathers) and her toes were all WONKY! I did a quick internet search and discovered that she has Curly Toes.There were a few ways to correct this so that is why OPERATION UN-CURLY TOES commenced!
We made a little cardboard sandal in the general shape that her toes needed to be in. Then I taped on little pieces of toothpick. After I had the little sandal splinted and ready to go, we put her toes onto the sandal and I taped her toes next to the toothpick as straight and flat as I could. She is able to walk around better than she was before but time will tell if I helped or not. I HOPE I HELPED!!
My hatch rate is slowly going down the toilet as well
I keep wanting to buy that thing, LOL, but I don't believe you can reset the readings by putting it in a glass of icewater, etc... I've looked at pictures, there is no reset button that I could find. Otherwise I think I would have bought it........er......if I had the money, LOL.Huh, good concept. Anyone ever use one?

Wow, you sound really sick! Take care of yourself! Goodness, that's a bad bout of the flu. Make sure your hubby takes you right to emergency if it looks like meningitis 'cause some of your symptoms sound like it, and that can be dangerous. Take care!
Wow, that looks like a true Winter Wonderland from a fairytail! What a lovely day that must have been with the kids!How I spent some of my day...
Winter ride with the kids!!
My older DS is home for a few days!!! We exchanged gifts today so we don't have to haul all of our stuff out to my Mom & Dad's tomorrow...
That's so cool, and looks delish too!Yee! My sister sent us a Game of Thrones cookbook for Christmas as an early present, and we finally got to try a recipe in it! Here's the pork pie recipe from The Wall. It was sooooooooooooooooo good!
I'm sad, I lost yet another egg today when I candled. It looks like a black blotch in there. Last night it was moving, today, I dunno, it doesn't smell, but it looks like a bacterial blotch. It's still in the incubator 'cause I can't help but wish it just looks weird and the chick is sleeping (not moving) but I know it's a gonner
At least it wasn't my possible frizzle chick! I have 3 left now... Please hatch you little critters you!
