Processed a pen of 16 today,,,,my hands are cramping up sp bad I am having trouble keeping hold of a coffee cup,,,,kind of odd since it was not cold out....

I also noticed a broody today, we shall see if she stays that way...

Stake, I will get back to you on that since I had planned on putting a order in with sandhill and Beaglady was gonna add to it and have them shipped to her since I am never around when the mail trucks come in.........I think I am gonna go with some buckeye in both LF and bantam and maybe try one of the dorking assortment..I still want the scot's dumpy but they are just not breeding or something,,,sandhill has been sold out for 3 years now.

Heather, great ducky pic's, I was impressed that you had no mud (I have area's without snow to so that seemed normal)....now mud in the duck pen is a year round thing,,,,and why do my ducks insist on putting those eggs in the biggest mud hole they can find.


Sally at least when I am busy like today, it keeps me out of trouble,,,,,now if you could help me out on the working side by side with hubby, that would be great.....I swear, one of these days I may have to process a larger mammal real quickly...

HA HA HA I help you you help me with that EXTRA Large processing!!

well done wing! seriously meat meat meat!!! I would do anything right now for those birds you cooked the other day! Been cleaning all day, and rearanging, chicks in the house are a bad thing, I moved the month olds into grow out pens, and cleaned EVERYTHING, I cleaned and emptied out or TO BE LOWER LEVEL potty room, and guess what in there now! the brooder boxes!! I am adding a pc of cardboard to the bottom of the door to help keep that dust in one spot! OMG what a mess to clean that crap up. No wonder I cant breath! But its way too cold for the garage for small chicks, a month was pushing it in the house for me, but with those -0 temps I had not a choice. Now they are on their own, have heat lamp and I will set timer on my phone to keep checking several times a day..

Am I weird or just paranoid? I told DH I want to rig the old kids video monitor out there, that way when I am in the house I can just turn on the rcvr and check to make sure the lights on without running out alll the time. he says I am wacked.... I told him he is clueless, I have 10 CCL pullets and 4 roos growing out with about 15 frizzles, do the math..... thats a few bucks so yes I care about them, he is a dork.

Not nuts at all Sally! We have a Uniden baby monitor system set up in our coop, it has 2 cameras and is wireless to the monitor in the house. We can even hook it up to a computer to record on movement if we want (that is how we got the videos of Gracie turning her eggs and the new chicks last year). It allows us to see what is going on when their is any ruckus out there without going out. Also, we put our lights on a remote switch (like the kind you get for turning outdoor Christmas lights on and off) and have the remotes in the house. We can turn the heat lamps on or off with one remote and the string of LED white Christmas lights (which we strung through the coop for low level lighting) with another. It is nice to not have to run out to the coop during foul weather if we forgot to turn off lights or something.

For DH's birthday I got him a home surveillance system with 6 cameras that is viewable over the internet... so when we go to camp in the summer he can check in on his birds (and the house, of course) on his smart phone.

Well, the options are.... spend the money to set it up once (and have happy wife) or get sent out to the coop to check on things and turn things on and off every time 'not so happy' wife thinks there is something wrong in the coop!
