Welcome back!! Glad to hear you are hanging in there, sounds like lots of bumps in the road lately, we have all missed you!
It does! I can't believe we got the whole thing unloaded. We had a very good friend come out and she is a very hard worker. Kept us motivated all day for sure. The washer and dryer did get delivered, thank heavens. They are really nice, I can see doing lots of loads of cloth diapers in there! We have set a fair number of posts for the chicken pens and are working on setting up our first desperate plea for help to everyone so stay tuned!
Good job! Sounds like you have done everything you can for her and now she just needs to mend. I hate butcher day but once it is over I am always so relieved to have no fighting and squawking. And of course the girls are happier too!! I have a few boys that are coming into their own out there that need to go to the chopping block. One of them kinda gave me the hairy eyeball the other day so he earned himself a spot on the short list.
Wow! It is looking awesome!!! I have not had the best of luck on the FB chicken swap. I think because so many folks are far away from each other. Although I have had people really near me too and they didn't want to come all the way to get birds so I think it attracts a different crowd than craigslist. I feel like the market for birds has been pretty rotten anyway. I sold a bunch of birds for next to nothing and now I think I will wait until spring to sell some extra pullets to see if I can get a fair amount for them.
Just a couple of current photos of the barn. DIdn't get as far along this past week, as the main builder was not here, and kinda mad my DH unhappy. The tin and trim should go up fast if the weather is nice. Sure hope so. The first picture is of the south side. What tin is up, above that is where the "sky light" material will be for natural lighting. I will have regular lights in side. I will also have lots of windows, just not sure where they go, will know more when the tin goes on.
This next picture is looking west thru the barn. You can see the cement pad, that is where my "work room" will be. I will have a sink, fridge, brooder, incubator, hatcher. Book shelf, cabnets hopefully a desk and chair. I am starting to get excited!!
I advertised some of my birds on the poultry swap page, but not had anybody come, so now I going to advertise on craigslist. I need to sell some birds.I have several breeds to go, so if you want some adult birds, I just may have what you are looking for.
Windy here today too, but I plan on being in the barn most of the day(old barn) and start getting stuff out and cleaned up, and placed in tubs, so when moving day happens, all I have to do, is unload the tubs in the cabinets!!
Welcome!!! Danz is down your way near Waverly and she always has chicks. Not sure what you are looking for but you might hit her up to see what she has.
