I didn't even realize that it was Friday the 13th! No wonder I feel weird! Most days, I do just that, crawl back in bed once the kids are off but today I grabbed my sneakers and I'm heading for the treadmill! Now I know why I'm feeling psychotic this morning lol.

Hello Chaos! How are the call eggs doing, still 9?

I think a couple quit so not really sure how many are still kicking or if any of those will hatch

I'm pretty sure one was internally pipped this morning when I checked though so

Hi everyone! I now have everything battoned down for our incoming ice storm, and am reading back. Brb
@hippiestink Hi. I am glad you stopped in, and sorry I missed you.

@mlm Mike @Pensmaster @Fire Ant Farm @kwhites634 AND anyone else who has a suggestion.
I want to build a kind of combination of a stantion and a working/ squeeze chute for my Boer goats. I thought I would make it lower to the ground than the dairy goat milk stand, but up enough to help me work, or with a ramp. I have not come up with a good way to make it squeeze though, and am open to suggestions. The other thought was to make the head gate and feed pan along with one side solid. Since I have not figured out squeeze maybe the second side could be like a crib that comes up to enclose the second side with a butt strap. I figured it could bolt in place unless someone can give me another idea. Thanks guys!

For my neighbor's deer, he has plywood angled, funnel shaped, when the deer get to that spot he drops the floor so that the angled plywood holds the body up and the feet dangle and he can exam, treat, AI, whatever it is he needs to do.
