TT! :

Who was the person who takes stuff to the poor people in Mexico? I have half a big garbage bag full of 2T toddler clothes... some have stains, but are still usable. Otherwise... anyone know someone that could use them? I'm in Tucson.

I work at the poor neighborhood in Mexico! I am going this Saturday. We will be doing a pancake breakfast for everyone, and doing some small projects. We will be painting tables and benches at the soup kitchen and making some cement barriers around some trees that they recently planted to help retain the water. Also, there is a new family in the neighborhood...except they don't have a house. They are literally sleeping outside. I know we have nice weather, but sleeping on the ground with nothing over you in 30-something degrees is awful. We hope to be able to build them some kind of little shelter, even if it isn't so nice. I would love to take those clothes down, but I am not sure how I would get to Tucson tomorrow (I have homeschool group on Fridays). If I miss it this trip, I can take it down next month. Should I just let you know next time I come to town to do my Costco shopping? And THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Math quizz? Here you go!

The variables that should be considered for solving the appropriate angle of perch-approach facility are as follows:
individual chicken fitness and ambidexterity
floor covering materials and percent non-soiled
momentary lighting condition
humidity
availability of alternative resting quarters
design and construction of perch-approach facility
space available for installation
materials preference

e.g. really hard to tell without knowing your situation...

I would lust make one and see what happens

The final quail count for this hatch is 109/124 (31 removed at Lockdown because they were either clear or dead) and I was pretty sure some pens were hens only when I would get 5 eggs out of 4 hens in 12 hours. I've fixed that problem for the most part.

I have a flock of Phoenix (laying but freeloading) for sale, with or without a rooster. (6 hens).
I have a couple Frizzle cochin Bantam chicks and an adult rooster (all are black) for sale. I have a WCBlack roo for free and a red Frizzle pair (laying but freeloading) for sale. Please EMAIL me if your interested in any of them. I will be taking some EE to another member in the Phx area Sunday and could bring any up to the valley to save you the drive.

NoSkiveez what does freeloading mean? & any Cuckoos yet?

 

[NoSkiveez]

They lay but stopped laying when we had those freezing temperatures. They will pick back up soon. My cuckoo hens have been giving me about 1 egg every other day for about a week.
