Thanks Annie! I just looked at the link and they have quite a variety of interesting options!

I am also grateful for the posting from someone about the stink bug Ortho product. I cant imagine "thousands" of them like some people are saying.............that would just do me in!

hoping todays rain and potential tornados don't really happen too intensely.

I have to do my work and I just have a rain tarp for the girls................they can run in the coop but no coop made from a dresser can withstand a tornado! Luckily we don't get many in these parts..................

have a nice day folks!
 
Lisa..these are my two girls I got from Peaky Beaky. She has beautiful birds! The partridge (babs) had real nice yellow legs and her size is great. Can't beat the partridge pattern! Both girls have great attitudes and are extremely curious....The columbians are very nice too. Good luck with your search and choices....so many birds, so little time...

my neighbor's little girl was over yesterday and opened the chicken door on my coop!! She apparently did this and got the door stuck open and didn't tell anyone. I consolidated my guineas chickens and keets there any a week ago. Over half of my flocks are gone. Ugh... I've talked to these kids about not opening pens before.... just have to keep looking for them

Ouch!! I'd be having a talk with the parents also! And if they are the cause of the birds going missing then maybe they should held look for them also??
 
Storm is here...not a dry spot in sight, including me.....dang I am getting to old to be running Round in this stuff...

Ray,,,or anyone close, can you save me some feed bags,,,,since my food comes from the mill I no longer have a stash of good bags...

Beaglady,,,I may take you up on that,,,will have to have a soap making class before drinking..

Stake,,,fry up some of that sausage and have a chicken party, we will all offer up advice on making your own....(making a bunch of chicken meatballs for the freezer some time this week)

I can not remember everything else I wanted to.comment on,,,brain is giving me the silent treatment
 
Wing, I save all my bags for just in case. Probably have at least a dozen right now. I hate throwing things away.

Interesting sight this morning - saw two turkeys walking around near my pens, assumed they were mine, they get out a lot. Went to Chase them in and they ran up the hill. Checked my pen and all accounted for. They were wild birds! So cool to have wild turkeys around!
 
My turkey pen is gone. The wind tore it apart. I had the 2 crippled girls separated and their pen also blew away. Not more than 3mins into the storm I was back out in that wicked wind and rain holding my turkey pen from blowing away or breaking apart worse - after I scooped the two crippled girls up and put them in my shed. Well, after about 5mins of standing in the pouring rain, I started making the trips back and forth, carrying turkeys to the shed. After 6 trips and 10 birds, they were in and I then went on to get some medicated water made for them (antibiotics - I am sure I'm going to have some sick turkeys). I had to set up heat lamps for them and a separate cage for the crippled girls since the black girls can't leave them alone.

I have no idea what I am going to do to house the turkeys now. They can't stay loose in my big shed (it's the one with my breeding cages and soon to be 3 - 3x5' breeding / wintering pens}.

Oh, and I lost 150lbs of feed because the lazy a** that unloaded the feed didn't dump it in the barrels. The water runs under the door of the shed and inside.

I have an idea, but not sure how good it is. Anyone have any no climb fence (4-5') or flight netting, anything, they want to sell cheap? I need some 2x4's, too. Will trade birds for building materials. :(

ETA: Wing, I have a few Dumor chick (game bird starter) starter bags if you want them.

Pickering is where I got my original x6 chicks including the GLWs.....they have a poster from Ideal Hatchery hanging up so I suppose they could anything by special order....they usually get batches of birds in weekly...beginning at the end of February....(when I got mine)....
