What a service, I wish they were closer.

Maybe I should start one in this area, except, I do not have the time to do all my stuff that needs to get done.

The service I really need is one where a turkey person comes to my place and looks at my turkeys and tells me what they are. I keep learning they are not what I think they are....

Or get conflicting information on BYC ( hard to believe, isn't it?)

They are really pretty birds!! I moght need some... I have a problem... Does Ralph offer rehab for chicken addicts??

Ralphie is an addict himself. It would be like the blind leading the blind!

Don't you know, ALL of us on here are addicts!

Interesting info graphic on how to protect chickens.

That would be GREAT! However, you may want to use a realtor anyway to handle the closing and paperwork but ask for like a 2 or 3% commission rather than the 6-7%. Unless you can find the USellIT stuff and get all the required paperwork for it. It is better to pay a realtor up front for doing the legal stuff than to have to deal with a lawyer and all the fees later if something wasn't done right.
Be careful is really what I am saying.

I normally buy and sell property without a realtor. The exception being the place in Florida, and that is because of the distance involved. I have found every time I get an realtor involved the deal is overly complicated or does not get done.

I use a GOOD real estate lawyer. The main thing is to consult with the lawyer BEFORE signing a purchase agreement. The purchase agreement controls the sale a miswritten mistake in them can cause you much grief.

A lawyer costs a few hundred bucks to do a sale (less than a grand), and even with a real estate agent involved a lawyer is cheap insurance, in my opinion.

They say it takes one to know one, and I have never seen a poultry addict, ever!

Days like these, we can feel where every crack and crevasse in the house is on the South side. I wish we would have pulled off the siding and put up insulation and new windows like we did on the West and North side. Still no siding on those two side, but the cold wind doesn't get through. We would much rather get rid of the house and build a new one or add onto the two story garage we have, but finding the time to do everything to make that happen escapes us.

Once I get my coffee drunk I will be heading out to work on this that and the other thing. I have a few more pots and plants to tend to and put away. Then out to work in the chicken yard.

I took both the dumped off cats to the humane society in Red Wing yesterday, finally. I would like to kick in the head, the people who would be so cruel. Shooting the poor things would have been kinder, they were so skinny and dehydrated, their bones were sticking out all over. More than anything they just wanted some attention. I am not some bleeding heart softy who takes in every stray, these things were really bad and so obviously house cats that had no idea how to take care of themselves. Another reason I like the barn cats.
And speaking of my chicken guardian cats, I didn't see little Mila all day yesterday and she was acting not like herself the two days before that. I hope she was just off sleeping off a stomach bug or something, if she doesn't come back (I would put money on she did not run off-fixed and born and raised here), I dread telling my daughter who adores her. In fact, she has kind of stolen the hearts of all of us, as kittens can do. The other two adults were out there eating and following me around and talking to me. Jerome has become an attention hog, which is a bit annoying while trying to do chores at times.

I think it is time to clean my coffee maker. It is taking way too long.

That was the other thing I was thinking. You want to have someone you can blame all that legal mumbo jumbo stuff on if their is a screw up!
