How about Mesa? We'll be selling next year. Flood irrigation. Lots of chicken and turkey raising neighbors. 1/2 acre. Humongous trees.

Killed my last moringa plant today - sorry Meg

Thats why a Moring tree makes so many seeds, it is all forgiving!

Maybe one day I'll be able to keep something green alive...

Aside from algae in the fish tank...

Me three.
I'd have roos and w/bw wheatons and bunnies and goats for milk and water features and get into all sorts of wonderful trouble.

And Lions!

And Tigers!

And Bears!

I want an annoying egg song!

You should get an Egyptian. Very loud. Very, very loud. You will know it when they lay an egg. And so will your neighbors!

I have a feeling the Egyptians and Buttercups will be the next in line for broodiness. They've got that "look" when they sit on the nest.

The neighbors wouldn't care. I can discern at least 2 different crows coming from next door - maybe three but I'm not sure. The red crowing over hear limits it to about 8 - 10 at sunup and then quits & go back to being his cowardly self.

The big roo next door (the size of a pony!) crows constantly!

Wish I had one that loud!

Or a chunk-O-county island out here in Limbo.

Pay for garbage pickup
Pay for fire service
No recycling

It's like a little slice of ...

Speaking of acquiring new critters, is anyone potentially interested in some inquisitive, friendly OEGB roos?

We ordered a straight run and have 5 (I think). They are about 2 months old and 2-3 of them are crowing and have combs and wattles already. 2 (or 1) self-blues, 1 red pyle and 2 duckwings. One of the self blues is a little iffy still, but probably 70% sure a roo.

Please PM me if you're interested!
