Thanks!
Ohhhh! I forgot to post this last night, I got my first egg from one of my April hatches yesterday. I'm not sure which one laid it (only 2 were hens), because they are both really red in the comb now. Anyway, it's the middle lighter brown one. YAY!(Oh, and let's just ignore the fact that I broke my index fingernail trying to open the coop door that was stuck LOL!)

yums!!!! I dont think I have ever used kidney beans except chili !!Not that y'all asked, but I'm sharing anyway. It's also gluten free!
Camping's red beans and rice
2 packs andouille sausage (any smoked sausage works)
3 cans of light red kidney beans
1 can of mild rotel
Season to taste (I used six pepper, dehydrated onion flakes, paprika, coarse salt, and parsley). I added two packs of sodium-free chicken bouillon mixed with two cups of water, then added enough water to almost cover everything. Cook on high for 6 hours.
30 minutes before serving I added two cups of dry rice. Served with green salad.
I don't usually use the rotel, but it was really good! Mushrooms would be good in it too, or corn and black beans. It wasn't like traditional red beans and rice, but I think I'll make it like this from now on.
How'd you like to come live with me long enough to redesign my entire limited setup? You've done a fabulous job!

I have big pickles!!
I'll have to add hardware cloth over the windows and make a door. Maybe put it on a floating platform? We have a nice pond that's desperate for ducks. We talked about it several times over the summer. We were planning for scovies, to cut down the vegetation. But any ducks will help?I like yer dad! it killed me to put even wire all over above the runs for NPIP here in pa!!!
now come on, you are kidding right?yes and sky belongs up there or reflections in water, you seen what I did to my pool right? I had to paint flags and stuff on it to make it look somewhat better, those bare white panels bugged the crud out of me! I hate seeing an above ground pool outback, but dang I sure love it and taking the kids in it! but nasty eye sores!
Wow Kat, you're posting good info faster than I can save it!!
gross campin, you remove all them for when I visit ok now?Another neat spider friend!
I lock my critters up at night, not sure how you do that with one of those or if you will?Sally, think this will be big enough for a duck house? Or save it for silkies?This pic is a few years old. That pup is dead and bubba is twice that size.
I have big pickles!!

I see please read the pdf I gave you about treatment of shipped eggs @Roada Red
Sally it's ready to go once I get the package, I have a hen that might go broody for me but I wanted to know if I let them set if you think I would be able to hatch them under her so I would be able to have a better hatch because I am not very good hatching he last time I hatched I set 13 eggs and 2 hatched. And if she a abandons them I will have the incubator inside plugged in and ready.
