WELCOME Srd!!! I don't have any eggs, but I'm sure you'll find some here or on the swap! Feel free to join in on any discussions!Hello fellow Kansasans!
I didn't realize there was a where are you forum here!
Someone pointed me here as I'm looking for fertile hatching eggs locally and not having any luck. ;( I'm in Manhattan. Anyone else near by? And do you have any fertile eggs???
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday.
WHOA!!! That is a TON of silkies!!!! I think I have my two silkie roosters sold. Pretty sure they are going to be stew soon. Ah well.Well guys, I should have about 50 Silkies for sale. The phone has rung off the wall.
That's great!! I'm done planting for now. But I did get 6 trees in this spring. Shade trees-- all Ash and Maple. We planned on getting our front landscaped and never got it done. Maybe this Fall we can hire it out. What are you planting in your beds?Well DH and I spent the entire day planting the front landscaping beds. This project has been in the making for 3 months and is finally installed! Phew! Now off to water and feed the crew...
That's FUNNY! I swear, my DH is very similar.I knew the day would eventually come when he would be the one needing to use it & guess what today was it. He put air in the tire & went out & the air didn't stay. He came back up disgusted & said, well I guess we should have taken the truck so we could buy a new wheelbarrow. Well Duh! It's always like that until something directly affects him it's not important & then all of the sudden it is because it's something HE has to deal with. If it were me trying to haul dirt & the wheel wouldn't stay up he would just say well what did you do to it or something of the sort & go on & not worry about it. Now it's him that has to work with something that is broken & needing to be replaced. Ha, now maybe we'll get a new one! I had him look at one at Sam's Club awhile back & it was a nice one with big wheels & a good price, but we didn't have any way to get it home, so of course it was forgotten. Now maybe he'll remember next time why we need to take the truck up. I want to see him move all that dirt around with nothing to haul it in.
funny!! SO cute about your chick story, too.Trish, congrats on getting a new wheelbarrow but you HAVE to use this to your advantage in the future.
That is terrible about your hen! I bet it was the heat, but isn't that crazy? I sure hope my birds will be okay. If it's going to be this hot tomorrow, I'm going to hook up the water misters to keep their pens cool. It will be interesting to see how your granddaughter does during those 3 weeks!Well I went out this morning to let all the chickens out to range & went in to see if there were any eggs yet to collect & found my pretty Speckled Sussex hen dead on the floor underneath the roosts. She was fine yesterday & it looks like she just died sleeping & fell off is what it looks like to me because she was in the position that they sleep in with her head tucked under. That makes me so sad because she was one of my favorites. I'm glad I got an extra SS chick this spring. I'm planning to put a trio in the breeder coop & that will leave me one pullet extra. I really like the Speckled Sussex. The rooster is all I have left now of the trio I bought last year from a breeder I know in Haysville. The other hen I think I lost to a fox.
My granddaughter is coming over today, so it will be a busy day with her here. I'm not sure I'm up to it yet, but she is leaving in a week to be gone 3 weeks to Dallas to see her other grandparents, so we wanted to see her before she left. I don't think she is going to be happy being gone that long without her mom, I really don't think she will make it that long, we'll see. She is still in the stage where she doesn't do that well away from home. Her mom hasn't helped that any either, she actually makes it worse. It makes it hard to have her come over even to spend the night with us.
Well everybody have a great day & try to stay cool!
