"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[kuntrygirl]

Finally got the feed storage building finished AND painted. Here are a few pics. I finally found the color paint (Barn Yard Red) that I wanted at Wal Mart but they only had 2 cans left and they haven't had any more since then. This is the color that all of the coops and stalls will be.

This is the runaway rabbit (Peter -better knowns as a contestant on the reality show "Survivor") who enjoys escaping.

Last but not least............Big Boy HAD to get in the picture. I risked limb and life getting THIS close to him.

Very nice! Barn red is my favorite color for "out-buildings."

AWESOME!! love that red color!! Our first barn was that color (lost to a hurricane long ago but still fondly remembered - had some good times there).

So, are the rabbits for eating? (by people, I mean) or for show or pets?

Yes, the mothballs do tend to run away whatever gets in their path-- I've used them for years w/good results, I just got lax this year, with the job layoff & broken legs & all.

I need to get back on the boric acid/sevin dust/DE dusting around the house too - killed a roach (but he was wobbley) on the porch last night. Gotta keep up the regular routine if you don't want to use major chemicals around here. You snooze, you lose!

I want a new chicken breed; just not sure what I want....

Great picture there , loved it , nice utility barn you made .


Missi , I will take some photos and post them one day this week .

Ya'll are talking about a wormer Valbezan and Safeguard . I use Wazine for both pigeons and chickens . It's time to re-worm , can you get these at a Feed supply store ? Most things like this I can cross use , but for the pigeons I have to recalculate doses . Smaller bird . Do these kill gapeworm and tapeworms ? I have ivomec that is formulated and all I have to do is put two drops in my pigeons . Got some Vitamins and Electrolytes at Tractor Supply and I had to lower the mixture to 3/4 to 1tsp per gallon of water for my pigeons . I know we need to alternate wormers so they don't get a resistance . I alternate from Novalsan to Oxine when I dis-infect lofts and coops for the same reason .

Missi, ever hear about a show called "Extreme Couponing"? Well, I will tell you my life of "Extreme Recycling". I will post first thing in the morning and explain my 2nd after hours job of how I go through my days and weeks of finding things and saving money.
