Hey All,

Just checking in for the first time since Thursday. I have 20 pages to catch up on and I'm exhausted. I love seeing all these people, but traveling and sleeping in unfamiliar beds is not so fun. especially when the bed is too soft and sags under you putting a kink in your lower back.

Missed you all!
Nothing is ever as good as slepping in your own bed! We missed you too!
 
I feed the wet feed in dog food dishes. I don't think you are any nuttier then me @Sassysouth. ;)

I would really love to get my shop cleared of all the chicken gear. I cannot make anything in there with the brooder. Getting more birds this spring threw a kink in things. I had planned on one coop and one storage shed. I ended up running both coops as coops.


My neighbors probably get sick of the egg song coming from my yard lol.


It sounds like many of you had a few very busy days.

I am looking forward to pics of @Smuvers Farm projects.
If I had more land I would be in trouble!

@rjohns39 How are the breakfast meats doing?? Are they using their house?

Welcome back @raecarrow. I am glad you had a good visit. Yup you was missed.
 
Last trip at TSC, I bought a large, shallow hog pan, and I have been feeding the chicks out of it. Is that bad??? I have thought about getting a couple more to add more eating spots. Is that crazy thinking?

No/No. As Cap said they'll stand in it, so I went to troughs and they stand in them too. Anything I hang gets knocked down or destroyed, so back to troughs. I have several and still need to add another 4'er.

We put more straw in the house, and they moved back in. They seem to be doing well and can be pretty funny.

@raecarrow welcome back...
 
Good morning all!
Goodnight Rae, hope you have uninterrupted sleep!
Thanks but at this stage, it is unlikely for me to get more than 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep because my milk drinker still needs a feeding 2-3 times a night. Last night he was extra wiggly in his sleep which made it hard for me to stay asleep.
What does your menagerie consist of? I have chickens, guineas, dogs, cats and rabbits. Plan to get goats.
Were you asking me or @Anansi?
 
YAY! I've caught up!
We had Shetland Sheepdogs, Belgian Sheepdogs and Lhasa Apsos. It was great fun and my older son learned to handle them.
The only Lhasa Apsos I've know have been crazy hell-beasts. Apparently some of them have a tendency to go nuts as they get older.
No squatches will get away from you! Building a CCC (Chicken Concentration Camp)?
I have a certain kids camp song with a line about "concentrated birdy feet" running through my head.
My concern now is, the lining. The diy-er uses heavy duty aluminum foil. I like the idea cause it's very very inexpensive (CHEAP!!! I AM COMPLETELY CHEAP!!!), but I'd like to go for something a little more permanent.... I can just see me getting little tears in the foil and having to replace it every time I use the smoker and that is no bueno.
Can you use sand as an insulator?
My mom--who is disabled and has a pill problem--rolled up in her jazzy with my sis and her clan from Delaware, with three burnt-to-a-crisp pies. Cuz she fell asleep on the toilet while baking them. I shizz you not.
Where in Delaware? I lived a good portion of my life in New Castle County, DE.
