Raz is that guy next door that you are not sure if he really is a bad a** or a big softy... but we know the truth

Especially after all those duck photos... You better jump on that Harley and ride to the beer store again! Or maybe the creepy uncle...

Really? I think Raz is the guy that makes me want to get better blinds

I'm the guy your parents warned you about.
And I'm the one who needs better blinds. You know you want to check me out.

I see according to the spy box that Grammi is on line. Grammi can you believe what you started?

Chicken Grandma is just that... grandma to all... Except I don't think you are old enough to be a grandma.

First of all - I am SO SO OLD enough to be a GRANDMA - 50 something.
Second of all - I have always been a cautious soul and I was a microbiology major which is why I am so good at cautioning you all!

OH, and the new coop cost me a whopping 30-35 bucks to build. I had everything already from other projects. So, I spent 20 on the OSB, and had enough left over to build a temp brooder for Skatter... and 12 on 2x4s. I already had some of those also. Carl gave me the shingles... ROOFING! Not the other.

lol. you guys are all in rare form tonight!

thanks for the advice, and i forgot to thank Daron for reposting that info the other day

 

[chicken grandma]

Nova - you are a chicken coop genius. We just have to find a way to make money off of it......

 

[EeyoreD]

Hahaha Opa! So a trio with one slightly-less-than-imaginary friend? This is how I ended up with the geese...

Raz, you're on to me. I hired crabby to watch your every move, she's just taking things too far. My fault, so sorry.

 

[NovaAman]

HAHA! CG, that is what I was saying to Earlene, that I should put it up on craigslist now and sell it for a couple hundred bucks. LOL


Anyway, have a good night all!

I figured so.

As always you guys are a hoot! Things got pretty riled up here for awhile.

Juise, your kids are freaking adorable! The only story I have for today to add to the "kids are awesome" is how my son insisted there were bear tracks all over his room this evening. He proceeded to hide in my neck and curl up in my lap. So I roared at the bear (waking my exhausted husband) and then had him tell the bear to go away. Apparently it worked and he is geeked with himself and how he made it go far away.

Opa, it happens to all of us at one point or another.

Nova: Awesome chicken complex! I love it. Personally I would pay someone to help build a coop next time since my husband works so danged much. Poor thing leaves before 6am, hauls thousands of pounds of syrup/sugar/etc, rolls back home 11 hours later and then hears me start throwing coop plans and pestering him about getting things done. He's decided next time he will just pay someone to help. He fell asleep at the dinner table and now I feel like a bad person for being so stressed.

Raz: How big are the ducks now? A couple weeks? Mine have just exploded in growth, burning through food fast.

We have a duck house! Its just a triangle 2x4x2 until I get the pen finished tomorrow but they were able to leave the garage pen. In addition to the little house for night time they will have a 5x10 pen to play in until the afternoon when I can sit and watch them play in the kiddie pool. In the next two weeks we'll open the little house up and make it a bit bigger then add about 50 more square feet so they have a sizable pen. We made folding doors closed with a heavy latch wired tight with 1/2" hardware cloth stapled to the bottom so it should be pretty predator proof. After seeing coon prints everywhere I am going to check on them now before I head to bed.

By Sunday afternoon I should have a coop but the chickens are much happier to be settled in the garage pen.

Have a good night all!
