Chigger bait - I hate people like that! Glad they've busted her, too bad with the way our legal system goes it won't last long.


TNBarnQueen - You look soooo HAPPY!! Congrats!

This is what I've accomplished today!

My hands hurt, my back is killing me, and I don't think I'll be able to walk tomorrow... but I did it without any ones help!

Looking good Stang.

Have been considering these myself.

Now All my adults are gone...I get to go clean everything out and get ready for some paint

. Of course that means that eating eggs are on the grocery list for the first time in a very very long time

The oct.29th hatch have been out in the front brooder for over a week now, so they are getting the big part all to them selves pretty soon.

And that makes room for the 28th hatch in the brooder.

Yup! It's 8'x10' and will be growing out my Wyandottes and Australorps.

Terry-

I am very happy for you. I would have done exactly the same thing. And Hannah is right it you were able to catch one there's no telling how many are there. Good luck with getting the rest.

Stang- Your hoop coop looks great! So you deserve a

We have several of those panels lying around that we used for green bean climbing in the garden, the may not be there for next year. The hoop coop is a better function for them if you ask me.

@tnchicknut..........Wish mine would come out...I have an air rifle too and that would tickle me to have targets to shoot at. I was afraid it was not an adult. They reproduce every 26 days...it is so strange they multiply quicker than mice. I use to raise capped rats and fancy mice...chicken math? You ought to do rat/mice math. I had a few friends who where more than happy to take the extras off my hands for their pets. I am sure I will be keeping the trap set for a long while. It actually caught it's front leg...I was surprised it had not chewed it off.

@Stang...that looks wonderful...isn't it a great feeling when us girls can do things on our own?? I use to build a lot and did all the landscaping, which use to be extensive. But my knees kept me from doing a lot of things the past several years. Now that I have new knees maybe I can go back to it!! If there is a greenhouse supply near you or you can order online...I will get the company for you..shade cloth is inexpensive and it will give the chickens light shade.

I am really thinking about the Iowa Blues..they really look nice. But...I have got to stay focused on what I am working on right now. I really like the Legbars as well....but...got enough to keep me busy.
@Amenfarm.....every time you blink 10 more posts appear.

OK....I cannot decide if this is going to be a splash or blue. It was light blue when it hatched and came from a splash hen and white roo which I think gives only blue or white.




This is Cutie Pie...she is the one the rat got ahold of...she was so brave taking her first bath.
