Good morning!!!! Look what arrived yesterday! So I can bring my own to Abi's Coffeehouse! I got chickens after my geriatric dog and cat finally died of old age/cancer. The amount of money it cost to maintain them in the best of times (when they weren't sick and didn't have big medical bills) was pretty hefty. So I must admit, I haven't been very good about eyeing the cost of chickens - I justify them as another big group of pets somehow... Well, I had a restless night (worrying about how to pull off the chicken rearrangements), and finally got up at 5am and pulled the GNH girls off the roosts and put them in the chicken hospital to wait. Then I pulled the Speckled Sussex off the roost (and away from poor Tank) and put them in a crate in the car. Had some coffee and then delivered the SS to a friend who will spoil them silly. When I came home, poor Tank was wandering around wondering where his girls had gone, so I introduced his new girls, the three GNH. As gentlemanly as he can be normally, he was a little too excited to be polite and there was a bit of chasing. It has settled down a bit, but the poor guy alternates between chasing/attempting to mount and staring off into space, as if to ask, "Do you mean I have to figure out this girl stuff all over again?!" Poor fella... I'm awake early and there's lots to do - I wish I didn't feel like crawling back into bed instead. - Ant Farm
I was actually wondering yesterday if you had got your mug yet or not. I thought about saying something, but for some reason didn't get around to asking. I really am so happy that you have that mug!
Quote: He's an acquired taste - and the new girls don't like him yet. He's pouting - he has always been a gentleman, but I just gave them treats and he acted like a little pig, no tidbitting. He'll come around eventually, the little grump.
You'll get it one day, Sally - just keep trying (and take notes so you know what works and what doesn't)...
You could try yeast bread if the sourdough bit isn't working...
On the job we use t-post protectors and rebar protectors. I like the looks of the rebar protectors in large enough size they may work. Google rebar protectors and see if you can come up with a size big enough for tposts. I'll have to check with Forman to see if there's a large enough size for tpost.
They are their own breed, but folks don't spend a lot of time/effort on "SOP" efforts with them and often have more fun with crosses - the gene is dominant, so you can make anything naked necked... They lay very well, actually (though everyone's molting, so it's tapered off recently). I got mine from Ideal Poultry.
Actually putting work clothes on - going to go out and do more digging.... For planting apple trees, I promise.
