HEY everyone I WAS KIDDING ...though In his videos- I think he is over preforming for the camera ..In your face so to speak !
I like ted nugent - LOVE

Cat scratch Fever
To me Boink means sex ..boink
(boingk) Vulgar Slang
v. boinked, boink·ing, boinks
v.tr.
To have sexual intercourse with.
v.intr.
To engage in sexual intercourse.
.He seems to be advertizing that (boink sums him up quite well .)


there is absolutely nothing scary about Ted. I grew up listening to Ted around my mother. She knew that his songs were about the same exact thing 90% of rock n roll songs are about. Thinking maybe your definition of Boink is different than mine

.I will bet a lot of Mothers & Fathers of GIRLS hated him ...
Your mother is probably my age ? I listened to him when I was young ...She probably did too .If she liked him she wouldnt mind if you did .
My kids listened to Rock & roll when they grew up because I DID ..They like Heavy Metal ...which I like some Metallica
Parents of kids when I was 16 - 1971 ) would have thought he was VERY SCARY ...
CLEARER ?

I sometimes forget you all are so much younger than me

Well hello everyone. It's been abit since i've been on here. Some updates here on my home front.

The turkeys we raised BBW's turned out to be 32 pounds tom and 22 pounds hen. We cooked hen but i over cooked her on my table top roaster first time useing i didnt know they cooked faster than store turkeys also i think the temp was off a bit on roaster.

I bought 100lbs scratch and 14% layer mash from my local feed mill like 3 weeks ago and i still have about 1/3rd left of both i think. I've been fermenting it but also the turkeys are gone past week so cut back some there. I stoped feeding chickens in the coop. They was being sissies and staying in coop not going in snow even if shoveled around the coop some. Now they have to come out and eat. I'm going to move the water out side the coop also tomorrow. I may have to open the coop up more i noticed some white tips on some of the biger girls combs but i also have too many chickens in my coop. I have 38 in my 12x8 coop so i will move some smaller chickens to the small coop till i get rid of roosters and the hen that is sleeping in the boxes and pooing in them grrrr. She almost went to the amish today but i didnt want to drive there for one bird.

Egg count hasn't been too bad here 6 out of 8 per day. I am pushing them though with my x-mas lights 430-730. Next year i think i'll cut the hours back or just let them do it naturaly. I'm pushing them atm this year because feeding so many but was getting so few eggs and all are first year layers. I also think they was hiding some on my partway collapsed barn but not 100% sure.

I love the hoop coops ya'll have i think next year after some bills are paid i'm going to build one so be ready to show me lots of pics and questions from me.

Well see ya'll tomorrow

Thanks, the roo is a golden duckwing leghorn. I was trying to only use eggs from from my amber links 5 are white n the 6th is white with amber flecks. But i wonder if i mixed up the eggs and used a barred rock. But regardless they are mutts. Cant wait to see how they turn out!

Jlaw - good to hear from you. Glad to hear the girls are well, yeah they just started laying for me in August and stopped in sept so i added a light, this is also helping me get my other girls laying. Then next year no light.

As for the tarp im going to order a 30mil thick military grade tarp well with my tax refund. A very sturdy hoop coop cover, especially since my chickens like roost on top of it.

I love mutts, they're like box of chocolates - "you never know what you're gonna get".

Me too I'm hoping that they will be pretty hardy.
