"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Pics
Date sort Score sort
My chick deaths were rather immediate, though dispersed throughout the week after I brought them home. They were mixed with home hatched chicks, and those turned out fine. It was just the TSC bantams that died unexplainably, and three of them survived to be fine, with no symptoms or side effects. I have no clue what it is.
 
So finally im all caught up:

Lovely pics of the new lambs!
Love the new fuzzy butts too!

WELCOME YOU NEWBIES!!! Oh, and dont trust craigs list...ever. Unless the post is from a person you know of someone you know knows them. I've heard way too many tragic stories and scams...
Once I started posting on Facebook poultry pages, thats when I found SO MANY right here in my own town.. so I recommend that.
I hatch over 150 chicks per year. See splayed legs, curled toes, and messed up 'knees' on many. Dont know why, cause yall know my chickens have the best diet possible....especially now that i ferment their feed... So who knows why... but good remedies are great to know!
I want a beer holding swimming pool tower!!!! Not for me but for our kids weddings this year! LOL
Would save on a bar.... and half the rednecks attending kinda demand one.. so YEA!!! Cost cutter!

Oh, and my little chick who hatched with a complete yolk also in the egg.... STILL PERFECT! Justa thriving along.... so I guess it is one more for the books....
 
oh, and a little note... we went fishing this weekend...
Let's just say, tho it was a beautiful, cool day.. that wearing a spaghetti strap tank and a pair of shorts is never a good idea!
I am so sunburned I haven't been able to dress myself for 3 days! I have a strapless, black, bathing suit cover that I CAN put on.. which is good when it gets 'nipply' in my white half slips... not the best attire to wear around the house!

But im dying... want to cry.. had to do my ceremonial whiskey and melatonin just to make myself sleep.... skin is just on fire!!!

DH actually shook my hand on his way to bed.. too scared to touch me since he may get punched!

On top of that, state lady is coming tomorrow for NPIP testing... I have to catch each chicken for her... seriously... im gonna cry the whole time I just know it!!! But it's taken her 2 months to come so I GOT to get it done!

So pray my friends... pray I survive the day.....

Louisiana has so of the most amazing clouds...(maybe if I stopped staring at the sky I'd get even more done ) this morning as I grabbed my coffee and went out for a moment in the calm before chaos I was greeted with this...

The weekend was just beautiful, by next week so much will be blooming. I see flower buds on the citrus trees and the sweet olive shrub smells divine

My take on it is that you spend time, money and a great deal of effort raising the animals to eat and for eggs. So he is abusing your generosity when he gives away the meat and eggs you gave to him for his own personal use. So, no, I don't think you're being selfish. You're not feeding the whole world for free.

So many people chimed in on this one. I agree x1000!!! Need, not greed, should drive your gifting! :)

Ouch! I wish we lived close. I'd run over and bring you some melaleuca (tea trea) oil. It helps relieve sunburn very quickly. Very sparing application of oil topped by aloe does the trick every time. Smells a little funny but works!

Is this the April Fool's joke for this year? Check out the link? If so, they got up pretty early to post this one.

Every season is my busy season lol! Hope you get to take a few minutes to enjoy yourself. It's supposed to be a nice day today with conditions worsening as we get closer to the weekend. Of course.

:( sux so bad bout the burns hope the subside soon.

Very cool your doing NPIP I'm curious about the inspectors. I always read only a percentage of the flocks get tested. Maybe the 1st time it was all then a percentage on followups. That's what I saw I think.
2 months...my flocks are processed by then :/ but chicks all come from NPIP cert flocks. I do see chicks and eggs from NPIP flocks fetch premium prices :) I hope all goes well and you don't have to commence chase (too much )
