Chaos says hello!

Yep, but no cord; just like a cordless drill

Are they less trouble than the two cycle gas ones?

 

[BantyChooks]

Yes, the little ones are harder to keep in, and much naughtier.
Alpines are good milkers. They are also better for your cold climate I think. Saanens would do well, but I don't like their milk like Nubian.

Yeah, I my friend doesn't like Saanen milk either. I liked the look of the Nubians, but she said they did poorly in cold. I imagine they'd have frostbite issues.

Nubians are best in moderate climates.

Here is my registered experimental Nubian Alpine cross. She is 7/8 Nubian and generation one that conforms to breed standard so fourth generation will be able to be American Nubian.

I hope he is actually okay and didn't just get sucked into an incubator or squashed by a toad.

Or squashed by an incubator throwen by an angry toad!

@kwhites634 Have you seen the new hundred year anniversary Packer stuff yet? I sent the grey sweatshirt that says 100 seasons and then, and counting on the sleeve to my sister with a note that this would be a good Christmas idea.

Yes, & no. You don't have to keep gas/oil mix around. Electric's not as loud as a gas one. On the other hand, you don't need a charger or an extra battery (depending on whether you can trim what you need to on one charge) for the gas. DW bought a Black & Decker electric which didn't last long. Went & bought a Ryobi, which wasn't much better. I finally took her out & got her a Husqvarna gas model; end of problem. I keep gas/oil mix around for my chain saws & hedge trimmer, anyway, so it's no hassle.

No, I haven't. I can't afford to look at any "official" stuff like that, let alone buy any of it, Packers or not.
