thank you! Supply crushed oyster she'll separately i guess?

Yep, that sounds good... can you put the oyster shell up higher so it will be harder for the littles to get into but still reachable for adults?

Oh! I got a call on my cell at work tonight, from Iowa it said! Missed it 9:20pm. Called it back and a recording said 'this subscriber does not take incoming calls' or something. Probably what 7:20pm in Iowa? It was not SandHills office # maybe his cell? Checked emails when I got home, wife thinks I'm nuts and it was a wrong #. From Iowa!? Why would they call and leave no message? she says. I don't know, maybe they are weird, maybe he had them hatch tonight and just figured he'd call? No answer so thinks 'I'll call in the morning'? What's the odds? I have hope now!

Wife says 'come on they would have said something', I don't know, I waited for months after I ordered for a email conformation notice, they sent a hand written one in the mail! Said May 5 though

Maybe I'm getting my hopes up for nothing

Edited to add, I never gave them my cell #, but that was the phone I used to call them twice since the order, from work, they only answer calls a couple days a week for a couple hrs, the order form contact # was our home phone, cell doesn't work here, no tower around.

It couldn't hurt to check...

Probably not, but setting it up out of their easy reach is a good precaution... I had a crazy roo that thought it was candy and would pig out on it... :/

@bamadude would you swap seeds for eggs?

No. But I will send you seeds for free. Im over my chick limit at the moment

Guess I shoulda specified, lol... doesn't need to be right now, I'm getting garden areas planned for next year... do you collect seeds from yours and save them? If you have extras after that, I'd love some... and would send you a batch of eggs whenever you were wanting them... your pick of my breeds...

Firing them a email, they say the have a hard time keeping up with emails but what the heck? Calling them in the morn, they don't answer calls tomorrow but have voicemail....maybe they will call tomorrow anyway?
Done thinking about it! Going t drink beer and watch some more Farscape! Thought it was a dumb show at first but now I'm addicted!

Bama, started watching 'Eastbound and Down' a few weeks ago, but the kids walked in so I shut it off, definitely going to watch all of that! Amazon Prime has it, I just kept forgetting I told the wife to get Amazon Prime so I could watch Under the Dome. A couple months ago I told her I didn't know we had it, she said 'your the one who told me to order it, we have had it for a year!' Huh?

Quote: Polish do well by themselves and in a big pen. I didn't find that mine felt too secure being free range. So most live in a 16x16 foot pen covered and has a dog house for egg laying. And a large fenced in area with weeds and stuff. All in the shade. My silkies will be getting a permanent pen under a tree. They do not take the heat well. And since they are broody like all summer, I got a little coop that;s all open in the front so they can sit in there till the cows come home and not get overheated.
