LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

Understood. We have hand sanitation stations and a strict mask policy we plan to enforce. Also, we capped the tickets at 50 people for 5 acres. Plenty of outdoor room for social distancing. We are located inside of a state forest that is open to the public, and following their guidelines.

Have you seen these for hands free hand washing before?

Might be worth looking at. We're pondering making a food safe one for serving tea and other bulk beverages in the future.

glad you guys seem to be respectful and careful!! Now if everyone just exerted a little caution maybe this will get resolved sooner than later

Lammas?

I don’t have to free range them. What do I need to look out for?

Well for me in the southern aspect of Texas it differs from your north Houston needs. Texas thread might be a better choice for this question. I will only say you can never go wrong with Sumatra.

Me too. I’m hoping the farm gets as much exposure as @Tre3hugger needs, and I appreciate this being outdoors. I hope everyone is safe and protected, and I hope you guys have a great time and get what you need out of the event.

I think we all have to do what we have to do knowing our local areas and what not. I’m feeling isolated and frustrated in TX, where no one gives a flying F. Everyone does what they want, kids are in camp all summer, parties everywhere all the time, My county of almost a million people specifically does not enforce mask orders from the state. I won’t go to my feed store and am having to change EVERYTHING I do for the animals to go elsewhere because my local store not only doesn’t have a policy for masks, they post on FB and places that anyone who believes in this stuff is an idiot. I haven’t been anywhere in months, and I don’t have ANY friends with kids taking precautions I feel comfortable with, same with my family. I’m worried at this time in his life (3.5), I’m really messing with social development by keeping us isolated, but it is what it is. I can’t wait to look BACK on this time in our lives!

I do the curbside pickup in those situations. I don't need to see the feeders I don't need in those stores, ect. Keep strong. We want you in our community you contribute much! Plus their employees toss in the 50# bags too.

Lammas?

Yep, Lammas/Lughnasadh. I prefer the name Lughnasadh for its lack of christian associations, but I know it's not really quite accurate either because it's Celtic pantheon specific so...
The cultural mishmosh there is all over the place though and has been for thousands of years.

I don't need to see the feeders I don't need in those stores

Isn’t that the truth!

I need to get a new set of ryobi one+ lithium batteries. Mine have been dying. :T I am making a cornhole set for the holiday and I can only find one working battery. Really slows me down.

Also a 2x4 I had in my garage labeled " 56" " is NOT 56", it is 44". Boo.

Also also, it's so much quieter without those 8 cockerels in my garage.

Lol, just write "Not" in front of it so it says Not 56". Then next time you still won't know how long it is, but you will know it's NOT 56". lol

Ha, that would be a good plan if I wasn't using the whole piece today in my cornhole board. XD I'm just mad 'cause it's the only long enough 2x4 I have for the side braces right now and it's not ACTUALLY quite long enough. Like, it'll be fine. It's a cornhole board. But I'm still annoyed.
