Are you wanting to host this one? You'd get to pick place, date and time, set up and make sure all gets cleaned up. You can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want. Maybe by then someone else will be ready to host the following one. No pressure though!

The Ramona Sentinel newspaper has Kahoots coupons the first week of every month... I wish they'd run them every week!

Guineas chase squirrels???? Tell me more...

I'd be willing to co-host, but can't take responsiblity for the whole thing. I am on travel for work about 40% of the time and am a crappy planner. That said, I would be willing to work with someone to coordinate the meetup. I'm thinking late April or early May would be good.

Sometimes I find Kahoots coupons in the junk mail that comes, too. I don't buy a lot there, so I'll clip and save those coupons for anybody that wants them? I have Hawthorne Feed Store close by. I found a dog food there that my dogs do well with, and is not expensive. All my chicken stuff comes from there too, but the girls are really liking the Modesto feed! I'm refilling their feeder a lot more often! The BOSS are a hit too.


Al: I have a brother stationed in Okinawa right now. My mom got a call at 4:45am that he and his family were okay, all the military members were accounted for, and the tsunami watch had passed. Pretty scary stuff! So do insurance rates go up after each big earthquake, and go down after periods of non activity? Like gas prices?

Dana- I am fortunate that my hawks still have a preference for rodents. I saw a big one eating what looked like a rabbit on a pole above our property the other day, and we all cheered for it! They have eyeballed my chickens, but with the kids and dogs always out there, they haven't gotten brave enough to fly down. Jessica says that she saw a little falcon fly and land in a tree near our fenceline today, but I don't think they would try to take a LF bird, the falcons aren't much bigger than the local doves, and my banties, which are probably prey size, are never free ranging. Anybody ever have one of those little falcons go after your LF birds? I've seen them take down doves, and they are gruesome.


So I'm thinking about having a chicken bath day here.....too much yogurt lately, and my girlies are feeling kinda sticky

. I want them to be soft and fluffy again! I'm going to look up that thread again, about chicken bathing.

Glad to hear that your brother and his family is OK. It looks really bad on TV.

Yes and no on the rates because there are a lot more insurance companies than refineries. This morning, one of the insurance companies stop issuing any policies in the West Coast until further notice because of the tsunami.

If it's at Lake Murray I can co-host, set up and clean up no problem. I can also get the permit again.

Where'd you get a 20% off coupon? Thanks!

I get mine in the buy1get1 little mailer magazine I think theyre printable on that website too!

What's buy1get1's website? I just did a search, and all that popped up was lots of foreign websites...

Kahoots is out of Squirrelanators until Thursday. Bummer! On the plus side, we did shoot one (out of a million) this morning - I told my hubby I would start drawing little graphics on the inside of the coop door for every one he bags.
