FYI, I sent an email over to Hicks Dairy and they said to call ahead when I'd like to pick up some Live Feed DE. Sounds like maybe we don't need a co-op lease. I'll find out for sure because I hope to pick some up this weekend. I'll let everyone know.

No you don't need a co-op, just call first. Hubby went over there a couple of weeks ago and picked up a 50# bag for $35

He said the guy was nice and very helpful when he found out this is our first time with chickens.

Saw the rooster finally do the deed this morning. So I guess he isn't too messed up! He also tryed to attack my 5 year old. So back to not letting him run loose in the yard

Are the prices comparable between Livingston Feed & Geyer's? I'm also looking for a local supplier of DE...

I believe so, I think they slightly cheaper the LFS. I had already bought the DE that week at LFS, but I think the difference was a few dollars. The owner of that place is wonderful, and if there is something you need ordered, he'll order it. On saturdays, they do auctions, everything from farm equipment to livestock of all types. It's a nice place. They also carried decent dog food, and other things.

Just noticed...It is geyers I'm talking about.

First off, SweeChee, you make me jealous of your barn colored coop and all it's barn-y cuteness!

(BF refuses to paint ours like a barn

)

Second, do colleges purposely make their credit transfer system confusing? I'm looking at transferring credits to a different school and I am an undergraduate transfer as I have no degree. I got a MACRAO evaluation to have it tell me what I already know. I'm missing my math and science (with a lab class) credits.

What I wanted to know what which credits would transfer for me, not which I had and didn't have.

I guess I'm going to have to get someone at student services to actually talk to me about transferring instead of having me fill out forms that lead me no where.

Shh....

I may just go and do that!

Gotta wait until I'm moved in and he's at work.
And wait until the coop is done. Still not complete, but I would wager it's about 70% there.

SweeChee your choop is just the cutest one Ive seen yet. LOVE the white lattice on the bottom to accent it all. And the little sheep OH MY!! Just adorable.

I found plans on ebay today for a duck coop for my little ones. Im going to try to build it myself.

And a Wish List Chicken Tractor. Gonna have to ask for some help on this one I think? LOL
