[Hangtown Farms]

Our house was a Vet repo. The realtor did know what she was doing back in 1999. She under cut her percentage, which upped our bid price, so we won the bid!

Of course it was an as is sale, so you might want to make sure there are on big structural problems with the new house.

it checked out ok but just waiting on the bank to see what they say

Hi All

The thread goes very fast! 11 pages yesterday. I am going to try posting a digest each day to help.

Here goes:

A lot of us were sorry about MonsterClucker losing his Hoop Coops. MonsterClucker told us he moved the Chickens into his new coops. Pet Rock found a coop for Monster Clucker in Red Bluff! MonsterClucker said that was 15 min. from his house!(he drives faster than me...). We are still waiting to hear if he bought the coop.


Americangame got a lot of help with incubating tips.


Zooweemama was waiting for her Ducklings. They turned up at the Postoffice, but Postal workers think Ducklings are chicks. The Ducklings finally made it! Monster seems to not like frogs, so he wants some Ducks now for frog control?


It rained Buckets yesterday! Some lost power for several hours too!


Debs_flock has new Ducks Too! They are older and no one wants to steal them because we have not seen a picture? Maybe there was one yesterday.


Chiquita had an emergency and moved some of her chickens into the house. Luckily Her DH is understanding.


OEGBs are Old English Game Bantams! Silkies steal chicks! and are jealous of Eco Glows! They cut chickens combs off?


Wishing4wings has very nice eggs! Great Picture!


Zooweemama is getting chickens for a frend. CapayvalleyChick is helping.


The Sun came out and we all went outside! Didn't last Long.


BYC has been updated and now Mobile users can post using their default browsers. Zooweemama promised to post a lot more pictures.


Feathersprings had lunch at the beach(Jealous).


OR4-hmom has Quail OEGBs! Waiting for a picture.

Cooper12 does not see his chickens in the daylight during the week.


Posts ended with more concerns about weather and power going out and BigDaddysMom has wonderful Polish chickens!

 

That was hilarious!

We lost the tiny runt duckling last night. All the rest are doing great. They vary in ages from days old to weeks old. I separated them last night. The brooders are staying drier now haha!

Sorry the runt did not make it!

This is a perfect day for home made bread. I got up early this morning and three loaves go in the oven in 20 min.

Home made bread sounds good, maybe I'll make some too if I can find the energy. Mine probably won't come out as good as Ron's though. But it'll be good with chicken soup.

Now my rant.....I really am getting sick of being sick. I caught a cold (my kids too) just before Thanksgiving. It keeps evolving into new forms....... First a sore throat and basic head cold, then started coughing and lost my voice. Mike knows about that LOL, but now at least I have my voice back. A few days ago it turned into a chest cold and sinus pressure. Now the sore throat is back, I have a swollen lymph node on my neck, my ear is starting to hurt and I have a low grade fever (the fever came and went the whole time).

I may have to get antibiotics now (which I hate taking)...,this is ridiculous. So I'm here in isolation (no visitors) but the storm is going to keep us home anyway. My kid's both have a bit of the "cold" too. I think they keep bringing new germs home from school. I personally think elementary school is an Evil Experiment of Bio-warfare.

Oh, so far we are ok here storm wise. I did loose a pullet to a broken leg, she tried to fly over the fence because she was tired of being penned up. Sadly she broke her leg...she was one of my best blues this year.

everyone else will make it through this next storm.

Hey Amy sorry about the little ducky. I hope the rest of them stay happy and healthy.

Cheryl. I definitely need to tweak some stuff on these coops. I need MORE roost space and I agree with you on the 2x4's. Especially for the Brahmas.
Im excited to hear more about your Breese program in Cabo. This coming spring I'm gonna be doing my own Breese experiment with goats milk. I'm going to setup a similar area to what they would have had in france dedicated only for them.

Ron. I like frogs Lol I just hate those big toads you can't see at night time that you end up kicking because they are always in the way.
Someone told me my property is super fertile. That's why frogs like Boeing there. But I think if the duck snacked on them from time to time, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

About the coop PetRock found for me. I emailed the person twice yesterday and this morning when I woke up there was a voicemail from them telling me they have the coop still and i can come and get it. I'm going to go check it out after the winds slow down some.

Thanks PetRock. Hopefully its in good condition when I get there and can use it.

Ron the daily digest post is such a great idea. I promise you I said this to myself a few months back. Especially for those of us who cant follow the thread like we need to. Thanks for doing the daily digest!

Ron.
I loved as nor cal turns. The continuing storrry of chickens from the north.

My house smells like wet chicken. I'm going to cook dh favorite breakfast ( OK its my favorite breakfast but I'm not replacing chicken smell with fish smell no matter how much I love him) as a thank you for his good humor.

Cooper I'm thinking good thoughts for you. Closing is always rough but that sounds brutal.
Zoo sorry you lost a baby. They are all so fragile when young.
Cheryl sounds like a wonderful vacation. I'm starting to think I want breese it would be fun to do special diets. But its not easy to find powdered milk anymore I have been trying for cooking for a while.
Hope everyone is well.
