Well, I got a response on my chick listing but I am not even sure it deserves a response. :/

They asked, "Up for sale are two six week old cockrel chicks.?"

Really? The title of the listing is 'two started cockerel chicks' and I go on to state exact age. And pics!

GRRRRR reviewing my bank statement to find an unauthorized deduction using my debit card. Turns out it's to a porn site. GRRRRRRRRRRR

It gets worse. The charges are on a card that I lost a year ago.......replaced.......and the bank was supposed to have CANCELLED.

Oh I think waiting at least a few weeks is better, I still have lots to do weekends, trying to get my new big coop ready to move the girls into it, and I know everyone else has things going as well. I found organic alfalfa seed at my local Natural Grocer, $1.72 for .30 lb ($5.73/lb). Whenever we get together I'll try to bring you some - occasionally they are out of things right when you want to buy them, and it isn't like a large grocery chain where they get everything in a day, so you want a week or so sometimes, but they've been good to me and their prices are reasonable.

Wow... awesome! When I was searching for mine, I couldn't find any. I ended up ordering some from AzureStandard.

Sounds like a phishing for email response.

I've had something similar happen but thankfully the banks are incredible for responding.

Just let me know when and you guys can come over here. I have everything here that you guys would need. It is too much work to drag everything out when so much can be done in the span of a couple of hours here. I usually always go through canning of beans, meats, homemade laundry soap, no knead bread, yoghurt if there is a desire or kefir, I can show people what vinegar mothers look like, how to do your own vanilla extract... cold process soap, candles, body butters, lip moisturizer, etc. I just have to know what people want to learn and I can show. Get a sock loom and I'll go through the steps to make socks. I guess what I'm saying is you all can come here.

I think I could spend a month at your place learning all that stuff! Sadly I am about to start a new job that will require many hours and some Saturdays, so I have to get a feel before I can commit to anything.

You can bread?? How's that work? I'm really in a "new things to try" mood this year.

This is where I got the idea from, I am going to try brownies and then try a run with bread and cornbread. I am not sure about the bread but I think cornbread should work. I have only done pound cake and that went well, maybe a little under cooked but I know how to work around that next time.

Pozees...
How about sprouts, do you do those? I have been trying my hand with a few things in preparation for winter treats, but I think I'm not letting them go long enough and probably need better containment post-soaking.

I have been doing sprouts lately, I found a great little sprouting container that works well.

That sucks, I know the banks are better then they use to be about fixing those situations but still that should never have happened.

HOLY MOLY! 45 bucks for five pounds?! That's almost $9/pound! I paid $3/pound for mung beans to sprout from Whole Foods and thought they had me over a barrel. I'm experimenting now with the feed grains from Circle-F that go for .75/pound - they told me it has something on it that prevents the seeds from sprouting but I still get about a 50% sprout rate. The girls don't mind either - soaked seeds are just as good to them. I know that's different from alfalfa but we don't eat the sprouts ourselves, just planning on growing them for the girls to get some greens during the winter. Have you thought about growing alfalfa for the seeds? From what I'm reading about the plant it likes full sun, alkaline soil, and is drought resistant - so perfect for growing here. And it's a perennial so you'd only have to plant it once. Oh, and we got THREE eggs yesterday. I think our little barred rock finally started up

Falcon folks, I am making my first trip tomorrow to pick up my new angora rabbit. Map quest says it will take 1 hr 50 min from Denver (I live right by Stock Show coliseum)

Does this time sound about right? I also need to get some layer feed, is there a feed store on the way?

Thanks!
