Someone tried this with the Little Mud Hole; they were using stall cleanings. It just made matters worse. Straw or shavings act like sponges, soaking up the water and holding it there to keep the area super-saturated. Didn't smell too good, either.

Oh, I'll remember that if we get a mud hole anywhere like this.
Wish I could help!!!

Hey, Sour!
How's things?

There is a network of dirt roads in the woods behind our place. These roads weren't being maintained, and there used to be a lot of mud holes that went completely across the road, and might be 50 feet long - small ponds, almost. The surface underneath the water might be a bit slippery, but it was pretty firm, so there were a number of good ol' boys that liked to take their trucks back there and go playing in the mud.

A few years ago, a couple of new holes appeared on the road right behind our property. My husband and I began referring to them as "the Big Mud Hole" and "the Little Mud Hole." These two puddles were insidious, because though they looked like any other puddle out there, they weren't. The dirt (if you can call it that) underneath wasn't the fine silt that the others had, it was pure, 100% peat, with no mineral content at all. When dry, it looks a lot like the stuff in those big bags of "peat moss" that you can buy at the garden centers, but when wet, it is the most amazingly sticky, slippery, boot-and-tire-sucking goo you can imagine, and nobody knows just how deep it is. The roads are being maintained to some extent now, but during the years when the Mud Holes reigned, they captured dozens of unwary pick up trucks, 4-wheelers, and even a horse! The Big Mud Hole nearly caught a backhoe once, did manage to snag a front-loader, and almost got the bulldozer that came to fish the frontloader out. After living with those vehicle eating monsters nearly on my doorstep, I will never take mud for granted again.

wow

Whoa! Holy peat moss Batman!  Bunnylady!!! 
Could've made a small fortune on the haul outs! and then sell the peat! Except the poor horse! Aww!

Sourman is good.

Well, maybe not that good, but good nevertheless.

One of the guys I am ordering eggs from said that his chickens are laying very well right now, instead of the 18 I asked for, would I like SIXTY

He wants to sell them to me for only $10 a dozen, and they are very high quality rose comb dark brown and also white leghorns.

THERE IS NO WAY I CAN STUFF 100 EGGS INTO AN INCUBATOR DESIGNED FOR 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( actually, it would be 60 leghorn eggs, 24 Dominique eggs, and 12 bantam eggs....is is wrong to hope that some get broken in transit? ..... Something is deeply wrong with me..... But then we already knew that)

HOW DO I SAY NO??!??????
