I LOVE ALL THE PICTURES OF THE NEW CHICKS!! THE DUCKS ARE ADORABLE TOO!!

Farmerboy....nice shed for your calves! One thing about doing so much work yourself it that you can take pride in knowing & letting others know that you did yourself. Hard work ALWAYS pays off!

That's how everything here is built. However, we have also discovered something else fun. A lot of people (especially around here) will give stuff away. Like 4 different times we got practically brand new sets of tires. Sold them for $40 a pair. Also got a HUGE dog house. All it needed was some corners fixed and some paint. Sold it for $75. I also have a long-running ad on craigslist looking for scrap lumber. We get a lot of wood that way. One time a guy called me saying he had a truckload of lumber he used to rebuild his cottage. He brought it all down here, we loaded it in our truck and made a really nice chicken coop and sold it for $175!!!

The top to this besides just wood....an old above ground swimming pool!!!

I am SO going to have to build a second coop, and soon. I want to work with the Araucana breed, but I also want some genetic hackle chickens (buying the hatching eggs! Yay hatching!)

Pic from google

Such a magnificent bird!

Janice is that you! Kim Wade here. My computer was out of commission for over a month and I have not been able to post or read anything on here. No room here for the birds. Will think about the ducks though. I have two drakes who really wish they could figure out how to mate with the hens. A girlfriend might be nice but I am afraid it will upset the balance out there and they will start fighting. Dunno.

Santa sent a new hard drive for my computer so I will be popping in more often. Welcome to all the newbies, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Haunnaka, and a Blessed New YEAR!

I don't suppose anyone here is ordering turkey eggs I can go in on? If not can anyone recommend a good place to order them from? I've waited 2 years to be able to raise turkeys again, I'm so excited!!!!!
