Next Saturday? What time and where? I'll mark the calendar now. Following Saturday is a lawn show in Tucson that I plant to go to; even got dh to agree to go with me. Now I have to decide which birds to enter...

What's a lawn show? Maybe I should beg DH to let me go?

Small show; probably not sanctioned (to avoid the extra $25 fee). Entries are due by May 4th to Muriel Ewer, 6262 S. Sorrel Ln., Tucson Az 85746. Entry is $2.5 per bird. They will have coffee and donuts in the morning, and sell hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch. There will be a small raffle and some sale birds.

Looks sweet! But I'm not sure I understand hanging it under the chicken ladder? Seems like that would MAXIMIZE poopage? How well do you think it would work as a ceiling fan inside a 6' tall coop?

I have two types of traps:
One made from black plastic that clamps down on the mice ($6 for two, feed store). One at a time. They are dead and can be discarded off easily without touching anything. Peanut butter works magic. Disadvantage: need to tie down or trap will diacppear with dead mouse, only one mouse at a time.
Second type lets mice in (many at a time) but not out. Made from metal, very sturdy ($30, hardware store) Disadvantage: need to check regularly because it woule be cruel to let them dehydrate in there. Need to find a way to discard of mice

I don't know where you are in Tempe, can you come to Detour Coffee on the NW Corner or Cooper & Elliott? Just North of Marketside. Mom & Pop place, would like to support. They do their own fresh baking too!
Any other takers? C'mon peeps, fresh baked goods, coffee and chicken talk...what's not to love?

I can make that--maybe around 9?

9 O'Clock next Saturday Morning it is! C'mon peeps! Come one come all, at least 2 of us will be there and hope to see you!

Okay, just made coffee plans -- pretty sure I should save points for my next "lemme out of town before I lose my mind" begfest. Oh, I have nothing to enter, and probably will not ever. Just lovin' having chooks. Where is that doggone camera/computer cord!
