Granny's gone and done it again

[AlleysChicks]

Mornings, Thought I would try again. got up early to beat the heat and weed whip. I cant breath out there.
Ally, great pictures. Those underwater were really good. No glare, just clean pure pics. Thanks for sharing them.

Thank granny, I tried but I kept getting pushed around by women with strollers. They are a rude bunch there.

It's so humid here, I bet that's it. Supposed to storm today and tomorrow.

I would like to hear you talk Banty. sound weird ? hahahaa I like listening to different languages . Thought about trying to learn but I cant even get english right.

I have a bag of accents. It tricks people often and I don't realize I'm doing it unless told. Yesterday was a hoot. I had like 6 coffees and couldn't shut up. Some of the ways I pronounce words also are accented.

My college roommates got a crack out of late night study sessions....because apparently when I'm tired I sound like the backwoods of Kentucky lol and it made pronouncing medical terms a blast!

You paint them on?

Paint, draw, brush yes. They are not gone all the way but they are patchy and thin in places they should not. Even if I don't pluck them for months they don't grow in all the way. There's a big difference between filled and unfilled on my brows.

I've been doing this to my brows since I was 12. So for about 14 years lol

Bushel?

unit of measurement here in the states for small grains. Wheat weight for a bushel is around 60 pounds. And those are the only 2 I know off hand.

Why is extra protein bad?

What Benny said, and it also throws off a balanced diet because protein makes them feel full faster and they will stop eating, which means intake of other necessary nutrients is not met as well as it should. Really makes a difference if they are cooped all the time or out on pasture.

Extra protein during molt is good for them.

Just found that the oats like Twist feeds are 17% protein.

benny the shipping would cost "weigh" more then local price. I like feed oats as usually it's not been sprayed with weed and bug killers or "cleaned" of any other type of seeds or dried bugs. I see that feed oats is 2.00 a bushel if selling around here and if buying add another 35 to 50 cents per bushel. I use the giant tote type bags to haul each bag holds about 30 to 40 bushels. Then haul to farm and auger into my grainery that I made from another type of farm storage bin. I have a pic somewhere will go see if I can find it.

I did see them, but being an ape is a good thing! They are very smart and not all that different from us, really. Now if you want to insult someone, I'd go with

or

Those are the cutest hyenas I have ever seen.

each side holds roughly 250 bushels. and is gravity flow out the bottom to fill 5 gallon buckets.

I use broken chest type freezers to hold the layer. 1 cubic freeze foot is a little less then a 50 pound bag of layer Which I get from my local elevator for 11.00 to 15.00 for a 50 pound bag. Price varies depending on the cost of grain. Actually my layer is actually made here in Dickinson.

not sure assuming for same reason's as it is for human.

For me with the chickens it honestly boils down to economics. And also what George did for the 60 years he raised/had chickens. Also he grew his own oats. So basically no cost for him.

And for me feeding choice of layer , oats and oyster shell JUST works well. Also the roam the pen and get scrapes and such. The hens we have butchered have a nice layer of fat BUT not super fatty or super skinny.
