Morning Sooner, Morning Al!
Just got up to let out the chickens then heading back to bed. Was up until 3:30 this morning retro-fitting a brooder with new vent screens, supports for the waters and replacing the wire on the top. What a pain in the butt, and back and knees.
Needless to say it looks pretty darn good considering all that had to be done.
The reason I had to stay up late to get the brooder redone is cuz my chicks I ordered came in a week and a day early.
Something said to call Ideal and confirm shipping date. Low and behold the lady said they shipped yesterday afternoon. So I though I would have a night and morning to get the brooder redone but no...... The post office called me right before I got home letting me know the chicks had already arrived.
Well the brooder is redone. Uli asked me if I was going to install flushing toilets and a wet bar in it.
I am planning on attending the Cement auction this weekend. Have to pick up Piaget's husband this weekend.
Yes it is an arranged marriage and like most parents I feel I know what is better for my children more so then they do. I just know if Piaget picked her mate he would be some worthless bumm who would leave her in the end with a clutch of eggs all alone to raise them.
Sorry I get really silly when this tired.
I will hopefully be picking up some more peachicks today or tomorrow. Thanks Michael D for the info. Was supposed to call them last night but was a little way-layed by baby chicks and brooder retro-fitting. I think I will be good on peafowl for the year after that. I have 7 so far, with the addition of the adult male and a few more chicks. I am "In Like Flin"!!
Oh I forgot to mention. Set up a sprinkler hose for the chickens and llamas. Everyone is much happier and so far no more losses. The salmon faverolles pullet with the missing lower jaw died yesterday. It was sad but probably for the best. I still have 8 more pullets at that age, just received 5 in the mail yesterday and have two SF eggs that are developing under some of my hens. Not to mention the two roos and one adult hen I have. So we are ok on faverolles.
Well I hear the pillows on the bed calling sweetly to me. I hate with they gang up on me, just to weak to resist.
Everyone have a great morning. Stay cool today!
