okay...that gave me the heeby jeebies.....and now i feel stuff crawling on me..lol But I bet your birdies LOVE you for it!


My DH gripes about me "babying the chickens" , heck even today he said "Ashley...dont.....dont do it...dont kiss that chicken.......ugh...you kissed it...." LOL he has no idea, If i had that kind of love and dedication hed really be going nuts! Bahahahaaha.....maybe i should raise some to pester him?

Well I guess we all have our limits b/c I wouldn't kiss any of my girls! My husband wasn't all the way on board, still doesn't love the idea. It helps that they aren't the traditional invasive roaches. They can't climb, fly or bite, can't survive temp below 60f with modest precautions they are pretty escape proof, and ultra easy to raise. Water crystals, piece of fruit, and cat food and a warm home and they are good to go.

Yes, but You can't sell 75 pieces of scratch for $20. I haven't yet b/c I'm still growing my colony, but if I wanted to I could sell them online pretty easily. They are awesome protien sources, all natural, and in the winter when bugs are hard to find the girls will be happy little bug eating fools!

I got alot of stuff done toight! I finished the brick garden, cleaned up all I could do by hand around the back yard, cleaned out the feed building, planted some bulbs, Pink ladies & flowers. Moved some iris'. I'm alittle tired.

What did everyone else get done?

Lots o' yard/garden/chicken run work. I have a huge 200 foot row ( the new fence we had to add ) ready for adzuki beans. I'll plant them when I get home friday. I had not bought anything to plant in that spot b/c it was not planned, so I'm using beans I bought for food, so not sure if they are going to vine or bush, I'm hoping for vine.

 

[Sooner]

You got alot done too! I think I am going to have to stop planting on the fence or I will have so much stuff it will pull it down.
