That's exactly what I was thinking. We've got chickaholics, yarnaholics, hatchaholics and we need help!!! Shall we all check into Canyon Ranch Spa for a weekend and say we're going for detox?

It might do me some good, but all I would do is surf hatchery and breeder sites on my droid all weekend anyway.

Nothing, nothing at all, thank you. Good thing it is too far for a "honey, I am going to go run a quick errand..."

To think I was going to head out there today myself .instead I went up the road for food. Just as well since babies have a tendency to follow me home.they tie themselves to the kayak racks.
Good luck with them Roberta

Put a cover on it now.

Hello everyone. Haven't been on in awhile. Hope you all are safe from this storm and your family and chickens are safe. My hens live in such an old coop with a roof that needs replacing and a sick maple tree over it (their only source of shade) I am worried for them. If it starts to look really bad, I can relocate them to the garage which should fare better.

I will probably have my mom and dad, their 2 huge dogs and their parrot staying with me. They live directly on the water in Amityville. My entire family of 4 brothers and their families all live on the water. I feel bad for my one brother who just got finished building a beautiful house on the water in Massapequa. I seriously hope the house is ok and of course him and his family. My other brother had 2 ft of water in his house from Irene. This is sounding to be much worse than that.

Heather: I know it seems crazy to live on this little spit of land, but it is where I was born and where my entire family still lives so we stay. Having said that, I don't think there is an area in the world that isn't prone to one kind of natural disaster or another.

I have to admit listening to you L.I. peeps I am left again wondering why y'all choose to live out there on that sandy spit of traffic congestion.... we get some flooding here but not the same types of wind damage. I already brought in all the flying around yard stuff but I'm done. We splurged on a full size generator this summer because of the old trees in our neighborhood. Too many outages finally ****** off my DH enough to buy it. Of course I'm the one in the family that relishes power outages and the like. I might just go flip the circuit breaker and force everyone to play board games by candlelight anyway!

I'm with you!

Donna! So glad to see you back. I was just thinking of you the other day and wondering how you are. My BO, Lola, started laying. She looks like a big classic BO now. Made me think of Mrs. Cuddlesworth...

Hmmm. Heading there today. I'd love another EE. But I guess there's a 3 chick minimum.

 

[goldeneggtees]

Suzanne, are you heading out to agway? could I ask a huge favor and ask you to pick up 2 or 3 bags of purina layena? I can stop by your house to pay for it in advance. I will text you also. I'd rather have extra, extra feed than be sorry and not have enough.

 

[queenchick16]

Good morning all, I would give Talmage a call first if your going out just for food. I went to Goetzs yesterday and got the only bag he had left. Chicken feed is going like water in the grocery store.
Be safe everyone.

 

[stoopid]

I just got Layena yesterday. Neptune feeds in Calverton closes at 12? on Saturdays.
And.. I gave them all my coupons figuring someone else could use them.

There is a 6-chick minimum. But I wonder if I go in there, whether the gal would remember me, if I tell her I need to "add" to the flock.
Or just get 6, and I'll find homes for them.
I have orders for pullets out the gazooo. I just didn't want to have them in my house all winter.
Plus, I want to make sure I don't kill them all.
It was a sacrificial purchase. I'd rather know now.....
