Hi Carla, Sorry your stuck in the cubicle. I don't know how you stand it. I did that cubicle work for a few years when I first moved here and I had to change careers.
A dog eats more than a chicken you know. As long as you are collecting, do you want a Lab and german shepherd?

What all do you have for sale? Especially in the big bird class?
How is the eggman?

Carla, when I see that you are collecting Komondor puppies, Great Pyraneese, fainting goats and turkeys, I want to try and see if I can get you hooked on llamas

I would if I thought I could talk Gerald into it

I didn't think he'd ever agree to the goats though .... so there's still hope. I think he's losing his mind too, since he's my enabler. Poor thing, when we met he only had one dog. Now look at him

You got a German Shepherd to get rid of? I got one that is dumb as a rock, but great with the kids and birds.

Shavon, My wife would get rid of me before she got rid of that dog.
She is the friendliest dog I have ever seen. She wants to crawl in my lap and snuggle.
Kinda hard when she weighs about 60 pounds.
We got her for my MIL but she couldn't handle her so we have her.

but fyi - you did the right thing by going back to sleep. Michael recognized the rain would keep buyers home and didn't go to Mary's this morning.

We're still spending more money on poultry feed than dog food .... but it's getting closer. We're definitely spending more than $1K a month on critter food now, but some is wasted on the rodent explosion in the barn. Darn cats are too fat & lazy to do their job. I guess I need to put the repeating mouse traps out in the barn & start feeding the mice to the chickens for extra protein.

For sale birds are lots of tom turkeys, lots of juvenile chickens (mostly cuckoo marans and turken) and silkies, and .... I don't remember. I just know we have a ton of birds & chicks.

Gerald talked me into buying another sportsman incubator. Man, that is fancy .... digital stuff. Too complicated for me. Well, not really, just not enough time to program it. It flashes the inside incubator temp, humidity, outside temp and how many times the turner has turned. Cool! Now I just need time to put eggs in.

The egg man is obsessing over his plasticulture garden. The fella came out & laid the plastic & drip line, now we're waiting on the other fella to come & hook up the line to our water supply. We could probably do that ourselves .... maybe? So, the new Komondor puppy (I assume since I didn't see it) decided to put some holes in the plastic. I think she was just trying to help

This morning we went & bought t-posts and cattle panels to go around the garden & last I spoke to Gerald tonight, he was out in the dark, in the pouring rain, putting the fence up. I guess I should call & check on him. He just might have passed out from exhaustion and fell in a big mud puddle.

Oh, and Gerald is so excited about some chicken eggs he's been collecting ..... the olive eggers are beginning to lay!!!!!! Army green eggs! The same colors as his big ol' army truck.

I'm so excited now! I just got the word .... They don't need me to work overtime tomorrow night

thanks i am going to try and make them taller and wider, these are really only big enough to keep one chicken in, those in there are just testers to make sure they will hold a chicken and keep stuff out, just need them big enough for a pair or trio, for each breed i have.

Maybe you can stencil an army truck on the sides of the eggs.
