[OneMountainAcres]

Cute! what is the substrate on the brooder floor?? or is that crumbles?

dont toss them, did you candle the normal way first? float test is for when they are overdue

awwwwww     do you know genders??

that is so neat!!!  and yes, i did know, my daughter has been making me read her all these encyclopedia articles about different animals LOL
Congrats!!! i am still so happy for you
and sounds like the farm-life is going well

i knew!! 


  i've been thinking about you, and was going to text you today if you hadnt come back   glad to hear that there is a rsd specialized doc in your area 

No clue on genders. Hopefully both girls but I have a sneaky suspicion that Sunshine may be a boy.

2x's never carry the load...boats runs about a ton

Finally got another trailer yesterday evening. Son found it on Craigslist, 2 hrs. west of Racine, in Manatowac. No idea how old it is since you folks don't require registration, but it's solid, freshly painted,new lights, new rubber, & tilts for easier launching/loading at shallow ramps

You will be4-5hrs away from me.

Gotta agree with Ralphie. Even if you can't eat him, using him as 'yote bait would mean he didn't go to waste.

I just meant the way he used boards as a jack, but a basic dry dock frame is likely the best idea short of a lift truck tractor type thing.

Maybe that is what I should invest in!  I currently carry a cane with me and whack him with it when he attacks, but he doesn't seem phased by it. 

Grab him by the neck, use your forearms to hold his wings from flapping, push him into the ground and hold him there and let him move a bit, while you lecture him. That has worked here.

I just gave about thirty dozen fertile EE and red eggs to a local shelter this morning. Egg sales are slow, and my reds only go where I know they won't be hatched unless I am paid well for them or I eat them
