Kass are you painting your tires to help keep from absorbing the heat? Not sure how you are set up in town, I use to plant bush squash along my fence, looked almost like a hedge.
There was a Craigslist ad today for pallets that were 2x4 heavy duty-- would be good for pens or compost. My compost is a pallet type set up & everyday it is the first place my birds flock to when I let them out. Technically if you follow the rules of quick composting you birds shouldn't play in the compost, but I am a lazy composter. I don't care if the stuff sits there for a few yrs.
My other compost was just a few tpost with some field fence in a circle. Lasted a yr then DH caught the fence with the mower. Took $200 in parts for the mower & I moved the compost away from anywhere he might get close with the mower.
Tonights dinner split pea soup & cornbread. Perfect for a cold rainy day.

No I just mostly completely buried them. I figured the extra heat will be good this spring and then by the time summer hits the tires themselves should be pretty shaded.

mefodz, I can't take a pic while she's trying to sit on my head, but here is the scaredy cat girl.




This was taken on a non storming day when she was chillaxin.

I promissed pictures earlier in the week of the Aussie/cochins cross birds. The bigger ones are 7 weeks old.
About 1/2 the chicks were black and the other 1/2 were blue.


Here is a Wyandotte Cochin cross on the left and an Aussie/Cochin cross on the right. The Cochin roo is Lavendar/Blue


These are only 2 weeks old. The two on the left are Wyandotte/Cochin and the black one on the right is an Aussie/Cochin. The others are Wyandotte and the one with the red comb is a RoseComb roo...there is a pullet in the mix on the right.



And then we have a Buff Columbian pullet and a Spangled OEGB. They are 2 weeks old.


Then Murdock..the farm cat.... Yes he is blind in one eye but a great mouser.

I have been trying in vain to order some squash seeds called zucchino Ranpicanti, or trombocino, or vining zucchini. I should have already done it, but am behind already. They seem to be out of stock everywhere does anyone on here have any extras of these seeds?

That sounds great! I am making chili and cornbread here. Kids have been asking for it and thought it was perfect for this weather.[/QUOTE]

We're having brown beans with ham, brussel sproust, fried potatoes and cornbread....yummmm.

I think we are going to have Jacob's guile

I drove to town earlier, all the nearly dry ponds are either about to overflow or are overflowing.

Barely put a dent in mine. Granted it's an acre and a half and 10 feet deep, but still...

We have a long way to go down here before we are caught up.

I've used my mealworms for skeletal reclamation a lot over the years all animals of course LOL Some skulls and a few whole small critters they really do a good job but the larger parts can be a tad odoriferous

Mine is almost full I figure it will be overflowing before morning if this keeps up, It hasn't been this full in years I'm really glad for this much rain but it's put a stop on me hauling the gym flooring for a while, This is barn with 3 trailer loads of the flooring, Still have at least 2 more loads yet to load and unload....

 

[Cjarvis]

Anybody know how to contact SJarvis? The link in her signature does not work. From what I've read at BYC I know they're in Shawnee, and they have cochins. I'm just looking for a yard chicken, not for show, so I would certainly be happy with a less-than-perfect specimen.

I am Sjarvis... Im just signed in under my husband's name.

Nanakat is right, we sold all of our large fowl. Nanakat also has my rooster and a few girls but dont know if the girls are laying yet.
