Good Morning
One of the bantam roos is starting to crow.... talk about funny!! Sounds like someone's choking him, lol!
The little sumatra chicks are smart little birds. My set up for them isn't entirely ideal yet. So for now, they're in half the brooder box. During the day I put them in the yard with the silkies and bantams. At night I would hop the fence and carry the sumatra chicks to the brooder box. The night before last, I just set them over the fence on the ground and they followed me to the shed and brooder. Last night, I put them over the fence and they headed for the shed/brooder all on their own. Smart little buggers, I'm really enjoying them.
I generally will not "name" the live stock, unless I need to keep track of them like the rabbits, but the birds that are more pets for me than working birds.. I've thought about naming..
thought about it......
DH has been on the new job for a short time but, got an interview with another company, for more money, and more up his alley. The current job is more mfg based and I think he's outgrown that kind of work. He thinks the interview went well and may have a good chance at it. We both would feel bad for him to leave the current job after not being there very long... but we have to do what's best for us. I think the hardest thing for him was that the current job was supposed to be a day job, but they moved it to second shift when he hired in. So he's hoping this other company will offer him a job. On days, they'll pay for his new cell phone... some travel (which means we'll be able to travel too), car provided and little to no employee turn around! That's how we managed to go anywhere for vacation because we got points for free flights and hotels once a year! So I'm looking forward to that! Plus, the extra money will be helpful.
I think we'll be doing a pole barn if he gets this job!
HillBilly - Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
KWAK - no sorry, did you check craigs list? They always have something. Don't search specifically for chicken coop etc, look for sheds and things like that you could convert. Some people even repurpose old campers etc. If you're in need of chickens, come to chicken stock June 23rd... there will be lots of chickens available! Would also be nice if you hung out a little more with us!
Opa................ ROTFLMAO!! I guess old dogs can learn new tricks!
Speaking of old dogs.... one of our Corsos is having problems, her back legs are giving out on her. We are so lucky she's lived as long as she has. She had epilepsy for several years..almost died from it. The normal range for the breed is 8-10 yrs... and she is close to 12 yrs old!!
