you need to get yourself a cute young farm boy to help you out!

Oh yeah! A REALLY CUTE guy.
I will help interview. He has to have great abs so when he takes his shirt off during the summer it is fun to watch.

see, exactly what i was thinking.
then i thought, i wouldnt leave the farm if he was there, so this might not work!

i wonder if you taped it to the side of a box, so if the chicks are cold they can lean into it and if they are warm they could go to the other side of the box.

with many chicks in the smallest box possible they keep themselves or should i say each other warm

I would never be home.... then again Twins would really never leave the barn either.

I had orientation at the Farmland last night. Whoo Hoo! It's gonna be great!
I get to work the pony rides, hayrides, and anything and everything else. Oh. And they keep a incubator running so there are always eggs hatching and little fluffy butts around! HEAVEN!!!!!

Those are a bit too warm if the box isnt large enough ,
There is a different type and maybe Dave can help me out here , they are used for shipping plants in cold weather.

when I ordered Orchids from Texsas and the lower states they came with hte plants to keep them from freeing.
I wsh I had kept a pack so I could tell you the name.
but they work like the hot hands/feet but with out the excessive heat. made specifically for small boxed plants.

We use Uniheat heat packs, but they reach up to 135 degrees... the key, for us, it to insulate against the heat, so we wrap the plants in newspaper. I haven't found any "cooler" heat packs.

Hmm, orchid shipping, maybe they have a "secret" heat pack, will have to look into that.

hey.
What is everyone else getting for weather this weekend?
I am getting a mix of "wet" and "perfect"

 

[gypsy2621]

NOAA says:

Sat. showers with a high of 56

Sun. sunny and clear with a high of 61

Ugh.... too bad we can't do a switch to Sun.

figures.

I am not sure if I want to make the new product if the weather is going to be iffy. I KNOW they will sell fast. But I really wanted to be able to show em off some before they got eaten up.
