Thanks, but it wasn't MY egg, it was Jean's (pips&peeps) we were just sharing our sale space.

It was nice to meet you too!



Also, for the swap, I will have some of Chicken Rustler's metal work with me, and I talked Larry Giberson into coming with his big wooden brooders and show crates!!

(If that's the right size for a Serama - I just don't want a "girly" one for my roo!) LOL My DH actually LIKES Voltron, don't want to put a diaper with flowers on him and mess that all up!

Ok, I'll save it for you. I might come up with a few other boyish ones before the swap also. Voltron! Love the name

Cloverleaf & Tallyho, I thought you might like an update on the Speckled Sussex roo...

I was taking a break today, sitting on a yard chair and I found myself face to face with the roo. He hopped onto my leg, and stayed there for 5 minutes. He is very friendly and has a harem. I kept him in a kennel the first day and he was not happy so I let him out. Bad idea, the number 1 roo here beat him up pretty bad. So he looks like Rocky, but he has girls!

Got you down for one vanilla sugar! It's really not that hard. Collect pile of beans, open them all up, scrape out caviar, dice up the pods, shake up with the sugar, let sit for a few months, then strain out all the pods! I'll have an open jar for people to sniff. :p

The hardest part is humidity is so high around here, and the pods I got were soft and moist (NEVER buying those dry excuses of beans from the grocery store again), it does get a bit clumpy so you have to shake it. Apparently there is some additive you could put in to keep it from clumping... but I'd rather shake up slightly harder sugar than to eat additives.

If you keep a saltine cracker in your sugar, the cracker will absorb the moisture, and your sugar won't clump up.

I'll need to buy a pack of saltine crackers and try that. When I first moved to oregon for school I put those 4x4 descant packages into the sugar jar that came out of the seaweed packs, but they only worked for about a month before everything got clumpy again and I gave up. LOL Don't worry, no seaweed or desiccant packs in the vanilla sugar. That stuff was made with a new bag of sugar with hopes of non clumping due to minimal time open in our apartment. Surprisingly enough, humidity wasn't nearly as bad back home in WA as it is here in the valley.

Oh, and that crowing pic is awesome! What a big show off!
