Debbie may I suggest a heater for you. We got an Eden Pure last year and have been raving about it since. It is so nice, all the claims they make are true and it really made a huge difference in our heating bill! We now only turn the whole house heat on enough to keep the pipes from freezing and heat the room we are in with the Eden Pure! I know I sound like a commercial but we really really like this thing and would recommend it to anyone. I have breathing problems so have to have clean heat and this does it beautifully!
Ok off my soapbox back to our regularly scheduled Marans!

Hi Raven, Yes, I looked around at all types of heaters, especially the infrared types. I bought one that has 6 heating elements as opposed to Eden Pur's 3. Thing is supposed to put out 5100 BTUs. which should heat what I need to heat nicely. It was expected today, so I thought I'd wait for the Fedex guy. Waited here till 5pm, then I had to go to town for some food. All day long, their tracking number said "out on truck for delivery", then when I checked the site to see where the idiot left it, (they have left them willy nilly in the past, like an abandoned house!), now it says delivery tomorrow, "exception delivery". Called them and asked what that was. They said it never made it to their terminal in time to get on the truck. BS, I know exactly what happened! They must've had a new guy today that couldn't find my house, so he took it back to the terminal with him. At least this guy didn't just dump it any-old-where! Wasted another whole darn day!

Oh well, it had better be here tomorrow, or all hell is going to break loose! Remember, I know these tricke and their coverup lingo, I used to deliver the mail!

If the regular guy shows up, he'll cop to the truth when I ask him...

I'm not ready.
Although...did cull another 7 birds today...so I'm getting there! bit by bit...

have any bites on your ad for the birds yet?
 
Debbi - all three of my girls have been sniffing around the nest boxes for the past 2 days. I even caught 2 of them IN a nest box (together, of course, because they are joined at the hip.) So I talked to them again - and BEGGED for eggs before I leave for Crossroads on Friday. I'm wondering if you have any tips on what I should be saying or how I should be asking????

Lordy! I already bake a whole grain nut bread for them and, feed them raisins and yogurt almost daily - and they have STUNNING boyfriends (whom they don't care a lick for!) But I am supposed to be bringing home some hatching eggs so maybe a new man will be in their future ...

Plain, balkan style (no sugar or sweeteners - just dairy) - primarily for calcium and probiotics. (If you REALLY want to be entertained, give those heavily wattled BCM roos a bowl of yogurt and watch it fly!) My birds LOVE it.

Hopefully, Cuckoo Marans, BCMs, and B/B Ameraucanas. That's the plan at this point, at any rate!
