Well I think the guy making my coop might have taken me for a ride, I gave him 225.00 for down payment and he will not answer his phone or call me back. I'm so upset. Do you all know how to trace a cell number to a person or location?
 
OH, I hope he gets back to you, I hate when people scam others. I am not at all tec savy, so wouldn't have a clue of how to trace a cell phone. Did you get any kind of bill of sale, or recept for the money you gave him.
I'm going to try a getting a batch of fermented food going in the basement. Its about 52-54 down there all the time unless I have the wood stove going, then its warmer. So I'll let you know how it does in the colder temps. For now I think I'll just give them the fermented food in the evening, and let them have their regular food free choice.

RoyalT, It should if its warm enough, when its ready it should have a good sourdough smell. How are you doing yours, a pail in another pail for draining, keeping the water for the next batch, or the all in all out method? If yours works in a cool house, I might give it a try inside also. I had thought about starting it in the basement with a heat lamp on it. I would really like to get the chicks started on it in addition to their dry food.
How did everyone fair the storm. I was talking to a friend in Idaho and they got 8+", I only got about 3". I think it hit the SW part of the state the hardest. Bright and sunny here this morning, I guess I should get out and let the chickens out. I've got to get me an automatic chicken door. I've been looking at the doors that MurryMcMurry has, they are pricey, but sure have some nice features. That might be a good use of part of my tax return.
Karla, I'm going to try to get your chicks picked out and penned separate from the rest of the chicks by Wed so I can better study them to make sure I have pullets for you.

thank you, I'm so excited! Tell me, are the EE chicks breed with just marans and wheatens or other flock birds. I'm hoping there real mutts so they lay good. Since the maran and the americauna can be finicky layers I'm hoping these are good layers and bred with other birds as well, or do you only have marans and wheatens and ameracauna ?
The guy called, he says Saturday for sure, cross your fingers !

Ehhh... well it's not going great- I have to find an apple cider source with MOTHER in it =/ I used crappy Albertson's brand and it's a no-go. Also, the chilly house doesn't help. I'm just using a single bucket for now. Figured I'd just drain some water off to start the next round... if I ever get to a next round >.>
 
I was going to get my fermenting going today, but I was running around like a (GASP) chicken with its head cut off, and just ran out of time. Maybe I'll get it started this weekend.
Where did this month go, I can't belive that Fri is the last day of Feb.
