I looked on the map to see where you are, and you aren't near any place I might go. I've got a son in Boone, my neurologist is in Charlotte, and I occasionally go to Raleigh. And you aren't near any of them! Perhaps someone else who is driving that way can transport?

Or, you could move......

I go to Raleigh about every other week. Maybe that's an idea. If someone near you needs it in the meantime, give it to them. If not, maybe we will cross paths in Raleigh soon!

OK, I have a question! I have a 6 week old Ameracuana chick with bloody poop. Any ideas what would cause that?? The rest are all fine and she acts like she feels fine. Help!

Good morning folks

I know.....it's not really much morning left but.....

I was just TOO dang tired to post at my usual time
in fact I was still sleeping then......
we got back just before 1 last night

had a good visit with MIL and Scott's ' long lost brother '
even showed up

I hate I missed out on the jam class, swap and all
but it was important to take Scott to see his mom,
been 10 years since they last seen each other,
and this was the first, best, weekend to do that

congrats on chicks and new animals to all.....
so sorry about the predator loses

need some more sleep....Fri. and Mon. ....
2 days of 14 hour driving straight........
I'm a touch tired

Good Morning everyone.

Hollow - I am so sorry you are having such a time with a predator. It seems like foxes are in abundance lately!!

I do hope you can get things squared away and keep your flock from further diminishing.

Mary - you ALMOST have me convinced I NEED a goat. One more bout of poison ivy this summer, and I might be begging DH for one...or else begging the byc'ers to let me feed their goat for a few days...at least until the ivy is gone!!

Just my luck that it is growing all around the coops...I get it just by being CLOSE to it.

Vfem - I would LOVE to learn...I am praying my tomatoes actually ripen!!

CUTE CKICKS everyone!! Ours are due this weekend

hoping for a better hatch rate than last time. 1 out of 5 is rather dismal.

So...I have officially gone crazy!! We have a wedding to go to in August, so I decided to make the girls identical matching dresses...even bought enough fabric to make myself one...if I can figure out how to alter it so it is nursing friendly. Yes, I have become one of those crazy matchy matchy ladies!! LOL

Have a great day everyone!!

Poison Ivy is one of a goat's favorite treat.

<enables just a little bit> LoL

Glad you had a good visit and are back safe and sound.

Well, my duck hatch didn't go all that great..5 of 15 hatched. The others didn't even pip internally. I had problems with the humidity being all over the place, so I'm really happy to have gotten any. They're very cute! Assuming they aren't all drakes, we'll probably keep most, if not all of them.

I have my first squash and tomatoes getting ready in the garden! I'm most excited about that!

I have a company coming out next week called Bountiful Backyards. They're going to help me design my whole front yard to include edibles!

We are working towards no grass at all in the front!

Not a bad idea, actually. Since I'm running sheep now instead of the dairy goats, my fences are grown up with all sorts of goodies. Maybe I should just borrow a couple goats and let them clear it for me.

Well, I finished cleaning out the feedroom this morning.

There's a bunch of anger-energy productively directed. Now I'm going to scarf some lunch, and go back out and rake the barnyard. Hubby has called and he went to Lowe's on his lunch to pick up some needed items for chicken house predator proofing. We will get this taken care of. We haven't had foxes since 2003, so I guess we'd gotten complacent. Should have wired that henhouse when we built it.

I should have thought of it.

This too shall pass. (See what all that anger-energy conversion will do for me?

)

I get the luxury of a visit from CSB, RF and her own chicks this afternoon!

Is there anyone from the Burlington area that knows when the next flock swap at the TSC in Burlington is going to be held?

I have it on my calendar for June 9.
