Hey Mike, did you get my PM about the water heater? Not rushing you, just wanted to know.

Gotcha Mikey...so I think I'll just sit back & wait for hubby to get back to the shop & I'll let him figure this part out. The only problem with that, is that he takes over my projects...hmmm...

And the drawback to that is...

The drawback to hubby taking over my projects is that he does them, not me. And while sometimes they are actually better than what I would've done, it's still not the way that I wanted it. I love it when he HELPS me, but I don't need him to DO it FOR me.

Make sense...?

Nah...it's always cute when guys try to be sly

HAHA - he just got back to the shop & informed me that he wants nothing to do with this "ridiculus idea that's just going to lead to more chickens!"...then he said "what is that you need honey?" hehehehehe

If that is the route that he takes, then I will have video rolling & 911 on speed-dial...and I'll have my boy hold the bucket of water with which to splash him

No actually, he shot me down already but said he'd figure something out...now he's napping...which I have to allow if I want his help (see, I'm learning)

Roo? Really? How can you tell?

Yes Red Broiler, and yes 2 Australorps, and yes 2 Barred Rocks, and yes I hope I can do the deed. Jury is still out though.

They are almost 4 weeks now which means I have 4 weeks to build a plucker!

Just got in from a wild chicken round-up. Caught all but four, I think. I'm going to coop them up for at least 4-5 days and get them sleeping in the coop again. Clip wings and we're building a fence this week so that I can start rye grass after irrigation on Friday. How I do those of you who don't have tops on your pens make your fences? It will be fine if I have occasional escapes, just so they don't all get out constantly.
Let the bigger batch of chicks out today, with a tarp fo shade attached to the tractor. The big chickens didn't seem to bother them and the smaller chicks were still in the tractor. Put them back up before the stray cats come around at dusk.
Hubby finally agreed to a cat trap! I think he finally realized how freaked out the chickens are getting and, he finally saw the stray cats for himself.
So, what do I do with the stray, feral cats when. Get them? Euthanization isn't really an option, since my hubby is a total cat lover, and I think the cat shelters are full, or they were a couple of weeks ago, I heard on the radio.
Is there some kind of cat rescue?
