Oh yeah, I gotta ask here. Black and blue, or white and gold? I say black and blue, but Karin says white and gold.

There is no dress, only the perception of one.

Spring cleaning now. Not waiting for Spring. If Spring wont come to me, I will come to Spring.

Has anyone discovered no one is giving away boxes any more? We have to buy those things. And everyone sells them. Whatever happened to the corner old fashioned general store and grocery store ( now the pump and munch) and their boxes? They are smashed and bundled for the recyclers and their contract.
I have to go buy them from Lowes.
Thats it. The soft stuff like clothes are going in giant black hefty trash bags. The boxes I HAVE TO PURCHASE will hold the household goods I need to rehome. I heard one of the physical therapist in the next town, her home burned down. I know she could use these things in her rental while she waits for the insurance company to get themselves together and rebuild. Taking her things her way. Bypassing a charity company with hearing about this situation. All good stuff. I have too much. Gee if I have not used it in two years, I should not have things cluttering up My cabinets and drawers. Real estate is precious! Decluter and help another.

Tomorrow must get boxes from lowes and while I am out We will go eat pancakes! Yipeee. While I am at it, I think new shelf paper is in order. I got some not too long ago and it is padded woven white on a roll. By kitchen maid. Has anyone seen this? Told you boring stuff.

Great attitude toward Spring.
Liquor stores have great boxes. I got the rest off craigslist. Search Moving boxes and there should be tons. Good luck, what a wonderful thing you're doing. Public mutual aid is the new way to help, no charity needed.

We have tons of medium and large boxes at work from the cottage cheese and sour cream cups. They break them down and put them on a pallet to be banded for recycling. I can have all I want just have to re-tape them. I got a stack of them for one friend that was moving, ever since I get a few calls a year from different people, guess I'm the official box getter for now on...ughh... you know how hard it is to carry a stack of them through the plant, there's no way to grip them...

I LOVE my rose comb leghorns... their personalities and looks, but both the white and dark brown do NOT lay eggs as often or as large as my regular production white single comb Leghorns....... SIGNIFICANT drop....  like a sad drop

Hopefully the ones I am getting this spring from a different breeder will be better.

I've been reading a lot on the mcmurray hatchery ones and they all tend to say they lay almost as well as the regular whites. They seem to lay 5 or 6 days a week from what I've read so far but we'll find out when I get mine.

Ever try rose comb Rhode island reds? If my order through SandHill doesn't pan out I'm going to contact a breeder I just found out about that has white jersey giants in PA, and I think I might try to find some Underwood line rose comb RIR. That line has been bred for quick growing and production for a hundred years now. I spoke to a guy on the production thread who has them and plans on doing a flock reduction in the fall. I don't know if I trust hatching eggs after reading how bad most peoples hatches have been, unless I could get them cheap enough.

I don't know about the RC RIR, when I was research them as a Rose Comb egg layer I came to the conclusion that their production wouldn't be as good as the RC Leghorns...

But my RC Leghorns haven't been all that productive... so who knows....

I really need to pen up the RC Leghorns separate so that I KNOW who is laying what.

I could be totally off..

You can get free boxes from Lowe's.  I know.  I work there for 5 more days!!!   Yes, we recycle them in a cardboard bailer, but if you ask for receiving to save you back some boxes, they will.   Ask for "99" boxes.  It's best to call around noon a few days before you need them.  We only get boxes on truck days (the days the Lowe's distribution truck comes).  Our store has trucks almost everyday Mon-Fri.  Some stores only get them about every other day.  Hope that helps you. 

Lowes said they could sell me moving boxes. They did not have any that had not been compacted.

I dragged my darling hubby all over heck and half acre. Today. I ended up phoning around to TSC in three states. I am within1- 3 hours of 5 states. I ended up on Rocky Mount for Easter Eggers. My hubby told me next time I order from a hatchery. He drove me around all day. Well, it is Saturday night. I owe him.
