Well, its that time of year again. The neighbors chickens are starting to come over for feed

. I hate when his chickens decide to winter over at my house! Right now its just a black sex-link rooster, but he'll bring the rest at some point and time. Catching them and telling him as I give the bird to him does nothing but make them disappear for maybe a week, if I'm lucky

Wish I would have met everyone at the show yesterday. I workded at the raffle table so I probably did talk to all of you but I just didn't know it. I was the culry-haired lady with the half-asian six-year-old. I had the LF ams the one buckey and the one non-junior mottled java that were there, of course I had no competition, but it helped me to decide which of my cockerels and which of my hens is better then the others.

I loved watching the juniors showing, so sweet werent they? The judge for showmanship was really sweet with them.

On the coast.

One would think that would work once the rooster brings the hens with him. But come spring when the hens would start to lay again, said neighbor always seems to come visiting and "reclaims" the birds, and takes them home and locks them up for sometime. Than come mid to late summer, I'll see them running lose in his yard after bugs and all. I wouldn't mind the birds, but I have some youngsters running lose in the yard and I feed them in the yard. This rooster chases my birds off and wont let them eat. I aint paying to feed someone else's birds while mine go hungry because of it.

Sounds very familiar. Neighbors in my area same way.

WOW - that's a lot of posts for NC!!!

I'm in Harnett Cty, between Lillington and Sanford. Currently have 16 "barn yard chickens" - bantams, production reds and easter eggers.

I shop all over - including when I go other places out of state (family and pony stuff).

Does anyone in a 50 mile radius of Sanford or Lillington know of a source for pallets (preferably free, but would be willing to purchase)?

Welcome! I know we drive past a pallet recycling place between our house and our friends house in Sanford. I know it's more on the Sanford side of that trip, but that's it. I drool over it every time we drive past. I'll have to ask DH about specifics though. PM me so I don't forget!

Yeah, and none of them have to do with me nor Sylvia, who almost got a mortal wound from being spurred.

rbaker, I did have a hoodie with a mastiff on the front, but I didn't buy any tickets! Hubby bought some before I ever got in there, so I didn't. But perhaps we'll meet next time. I was fairly noticeable...fat lady with the Santa-ish pony-tail hat and red sweater on her stick. That was me.


Welcome to the new folks, too!

Tammyfarms, you said in a post about a week and a half ago that you use a thermobloc for you cookie tin heater. Where can I get one of those at? I haven't looked in any stores for one. I have a TSC and southernstates cose by. Thanks for the help.

Then my mirror lies to me on a daily basis. Plus I'm about 30 pounds heavier than I was BP (before Prednisone). Fat. I'm not hiding from that reality.

I just wish that it would work for me.... like by helping me float, stay warm, or cushion any falls.... but alas it doesn't do anything for me but make me squishy.
