You know i bet crock pots would do a great job keeping water warm for chickens. Buy used ones at Goodwill or garage sales.

This is brilliant!!!! But, it might have to be a crock that has a KEEP WARM setting, as even low can get quite hot.

PS. The crazy chick we were discussing last night posted again like 4 minutes after you went to bed... and, take note, she has posted AGAIN this morning!

Knowing soaps can be done plant based makes me more interested in researching.

Yeah nothing says good morning like "hey, here's some weird fat to scrub your face with".

I started buying used crock pots for my chickens in TN and then we had to move to FL to help my parents.

So, I broke open our seed keeper and, low and behold, we have unlabeled bags of seeds. Is there a place where I can go to identify seeds? Or, should I take pics and post them here?

This coop is hilarious! No dimensions but FUNNY!

Not sure on seed identify sites Smuv.
So many seeds look shockingly similar might have to just grow them.

No way, there are thousands of seeds, probably hundreds of thousands.

Unless they are a really weird ass looking seed like a marigold, moonflower, sunflower, nasturtium, morning glory, etc., not likely!

Just plant those babies, and be in for a mixed surprise.

Mayhem at my house! Holy crap.

My AC cockerel, Lafayette, looked like he was possibly getting a teeny bit of frostbite on his giant, fleshy, BBC. So I grabbed him (he's very shy and timid) out of the run and brought him inside to oil him up, lol.

I had him on my lap in the living room and was lubing him down with Vaseline. Comb, wattles. He seemed to be liking it. (My hubby was giving me a "WTF?!" look, but I am used to it, and mostly ignore him.) Then, since he was being so good, I rewarded him with some mealworms.

That's when all hell broke loose!

He hopped out of my lap and flapped onto the coffee table, knocking my (full) coffee mug everywhere. All over my chicken books, magazines, journals, floor, DH's tablet, everywhere. What a freaking mess!

After I got it all cleaned up and he laid a giant turd on the floor (Lafayette--not hubby), I went out to return him to his ladies, and as I gave them all mealworms, they all attacked my hands. Cuz I actually left the house a couple days ago and got a sparkly red gel manicure, and I guess to a chicken, that is THE color they like the best, lol! They pecked my fingers like they were the ripest strawberries ever. Little peckerheads!

And on that note, I am going to go food shopping for tonight.

What a nightmare Pit!

I love the outhouse coop!

I have been trying to read off and on.

Nothing to report here worth reporting. Cold and windy, but at least the sun is out.

We can try to help or the folks on my garden thread are helpful.
