As long as it serves the purpose. Paid $5 for the packing crate .

Thank you! I am happy with it so far.

Thanks, the $5 I paid for the packing crate was a great deal. The top was 4'x5' , made of plywood and 2x4s so I used it for a wall, and the top of the second crate made another wall.

Very cool! How nice to save on some expense as well. Sure looks pretty so far!

What happened with the sisters is they had an egg breaking competition. It was a long time ago and I didn't know what I know now. Isn't that always the way.
Basically the nest wasn't suitable and I should have moved them.

Yes, we generally learn the hard way, don't we? So far so good on this one. Babe's still doing well. Though I wonder if it helps that they've been harassed so much through their sitting. Do you have an opinion on leaving broodies alone or checking eggs and them every day? I'm sure you do, but I'd like to hear it!

Meg, congrats on the new chick! Hope the rest of the hatch goes well. That's great you got your garden in!

Shad, thanks for the coffee...it's good as always! Keep us posted today on Bracket, ok?

It's been pouring down rain here this morning. DH has been up & down most the night trying to keep the golf course irrigation pump from frying...it seems to be having trouble with the rising river water.

It's a day off work for me

Thank you
