Is anyone bringing DE for sale ? I would love to get some but not a 50lb bag ...

I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to bring my quail. I was planning on putting them in wire-covered boxes, so I wouldn't have to get them out (especially the buttons), but I would probably have to do it on Friday night, rather than Saturday morning (4 hours to Indy). So that means they would be in them for 24 hours before getting actual water, since I wouldn't be able to keep water in there. So I'm hoping Chuck will have room to put either their totes in his car, or some cages. The coturnix would be no problem, they are pretty easy-going. But the buttons are little spazzes. Hopefully I'll get it figured out before Friday!! I can't believe we are in the home stretch!! I think I'll go ahead and make my cheesecake and freeze it, so I don't have a million things to do on Friday!

I have a 50# bag of DE. I could dip some up for you. I paid about $1 a pound. So, I would sell it to you for the same price. How much you want?

Three things:

1. I have to add my kudos to Kathleen again along with the rest of you! Hooray for Kathleen!

2. Has anyone seen any lightweight cattle panels for sale anywhere? I want to buy some to make chicken hoop houses and also to make a "greenhouse" to try out a winter garden this year (I've been reading Eliot Coleman)

3. What is DE?

 

[Egg_newton]

Diatomaceous earth. good for internal and external pest control among other things

Ah, thanks.

Rob says bring the redneck golf if you can, it looks like fun!

AC, I sure hope you can make it!!

I talked to addiedunn and she is coming!

Carole, I think bringing the sign would be a great way to remember your friend!

We may also have another announcement coming, then again, I may just keep it to myself until the party! Surprises are fun!!

I just got finished cleaning the coop and now I am off to start numbering prizes and finish a chicken doll.
