Hi there, I didn't want to be the first to post today because I'm always the first.

Anyways, afternoon everyone! I have my son and daughter in-law in town for a week so I won't be on here a lot for now, they may even stay longer they are not sure.

DH's quad is the pig!


Sunny and I went quadding around the area yesterday.........but before we started, DH's quad did NOT want to start. It has a pull start for emergencies - and even in an emergency I would not be able to start that pig! The pull start is so difficult that even DH has a very hard time with it.


I had to hunt for jumper cables so I could back my quad into the horse trailer (where quads are stored) to be able to jump start it. I have never had to jump start my quad - it is a good little quad.

I admit I was trying to picture how (and why?) one would pull start a pig

You all had me laughing so loud I scared the new puppy!

Other than this sunburn stinging a little I feel great! Well except my back hurts a little too but that's normal and I'm used to it. Course by the time I got there the pig was already started.

Can't wait to go again! That was a blast.

Sheryl enjoy your kiddos' visit! We will miss your morning posts here though.

Elizabeth good luck getting ready for your parent's visit. Mine live here in town, we brought them with us when we moved. DH and I took them out to dinner last night for their 58th wedding anniversary. Can you imagine being married for 58 years?!!

Here is a floor plan of my coop. May switch the nest boxes and the storage area around but overall this layout seems like it will work pretty good. the roosts in the yellow area could be removed and a brooder box/isolation area put there raised up. i put in 2 pop doors so i could put in divider walls to have a small separated area by the brooder box for grow out area, etc. there will be plenty of windows and ventilation up high but i haven't put those on the drawing yet. This is my first picture post so hopefully it will work!

Very nice Elizabeth!

Looks great! I would definitely add the grow out brooder area to that corner you mentioned.

If you cover the growout area (to catch the droppings) you can still have some roosting space above for the main flock. The smaller birds don't need a tall roost nor do they need to be elevated. You just need to enclose their area completely so the big birds can't get at them.
