That is a huge roll of hardware cloth for $40 bucks... seems like a really good deal....

That's a great price-here that would probably run 200 bucks!

I thought so... I dont have money or the need for the wire or I would buy it =] although that mindset is probably the reason i dont have cash...

Yeah, I'm guilty of that myself.

Thanks. No matter what my mood their silly antics always brighten my day. 

Chickens are therapeutic.    

I agree completely! And thanks to Caleb for posting about the craigslist item. When I get back to NY I will call to see if it still available. Tina

Good morning Its lock down day for my 20 soon to be babies....

Caleb; After my experience with craigslist and the word "rooster" your dad should be more worried about that site then Austin powers

I think my son would have runaway to the circus if I took his xbox away for a week at your age..

Hey Caleb, see if you can find me a job on craigslist!

Truthfully, despite the fear of having no steady income, I'm looking forward to the end of this school year. It's been the worst of my career. I had a long talk with my therapist about the situation and have decided to try to embrace the lack of work. I can't wait to have enough time to take care of house/farm properly and lie around reading all summer.

I got up at 6 this morning at the first sound of chicken squawking. I changed waterers, refilled food containers and handed out old chips and oatmeal, cabbage and chicken scratch. Peace reigns in the coop at the moment. Of course, it's still like having two separate flocks. The younger girls stay in the coop all day because the big girls harass them when they come into the run. When we let the big girls out, I'm hoping there will be more integration. Then it will be time to bring the babies outside.

I took some major naps this weekend (depression, I guess). But I'm looking forward to more packing in the classroom. 15 days to go. Not counting Thursday - taking a sick day to go to Baldwin and look after my mom's cats. She asked if I wanted to stay there for the 3 days they'll be away. If I keep snapping at Bobby, I may have to!

I went to the show in Mass with Vera, I get back, have to go thru 40+ posts.
You guys were chatty!
Still need to hose out my car. Weather was nice until around 3pm.
I need to hone my packing skills
The skies opened up, and we were the last fools in the parking lot, jamming crap into the back of my VW.
All my jewelery displays, boxes, cases SOAKED!
I hope Vera doesn't post all those pics on facebook!
That and the motel room... brought all the birds in with us.
Drove back to the ferry with 2 Silkie roosters on my lap, she had a box full of chicks on hers.
OF COURSE we couldn't get an earlier ferry, waited 2 hrs pinned in the car under wet everything.
Now to go clean. UGH.
Strange how it was fun for us both!!!
