No babies yet that I know of.
I am in Glen Allen, VA at the Big Swap, that has been held for over 20 years. It is common for 10,000 visitors to attend. Vendors are set up on acres of grassy pastures. Rain has been forecast, and it is chilly. At least I got some sleep last night. Slept on an air mattress in the U-haul trailer. Sure glad I brought my sleeping bag. I brought 4 chickens to sell, only 7 left at home. I brought one pregnant adult goat to sell.

Wish I could get an aerial picture, this place is huge.

Hopefully You have good sales.
Looks like a good place

Next, decide how many chickens you want

I want them all. Even the rascally roos.

Rule of twos....
Make it twice as big as you think you need, walk in....
Put in twice the amount of ventilation you think you need.
It will cost twice as much as you planned.
It will take twice as long to build as you thought it would.

No, she's still pregnant.

Were there tornados near you?

Were there tornados near you?

Portage is about 30 miles east of me.
We didn't even have much wind here, just thunder lighting and some downpourings.

Aart, our weatherman said the tornados were going to be right in your neighborhood.
I thought, oh oh, poor Aart.
Glad they can't be right even when it's happening..
