Thanks everyone. He has his Associates Degree at Cuyamaca. He will be Majoring in Astronomy and going for a minor in Math. He has to take all the math anyway for Astronomy I think he will only have to take one or two extras to get the Minor.

I had a cousin who got snooty with me for "Allowing" him to choose such a Useless Major. Sheesh. Shes no slouch herself engineering degrees and such. But I told her he can work in any field he wants to after school. Though I think his aim is toward the commercial space effort.

At what age do you put your chicks out?? Mine are 5 1/2 weeks and getting to be a pain to haul in and out every day. I was thinking sometime this week I would leave them out with the light. I have had them in the garage at night with a light, out during the day.

Most are fully feathered. There are two who still have a little fluff, thinking they may be roo's.

I would say you could leave them in the garage at night without a light at this point. The nights are getting warmer. I would watch the temps over the next week or so. But they should be just about ready to go out.

Hey all,
I have a kind of strange question...

Would anyone here be willing to have a Backyard Chicken (.com or otherwise) table at a community garden event on April 20th? You could bring chickens (or not) and I could provide copies of local ordinances etc for handouts. We are having several other informational tables (solar cooking, seed starting, composting etc) and I would love to have the peeps represented, but won't be able to run it all and man a table.

Thanks in advance!
Elizabeth
