Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

I spent the ENTIRE day helping a friend sort through stuff to get ready to move. A hoarder. Who has emotional attachments to lots of things. And a 12 room house. There were six of us and we got through 2 rooms. Ack. Going back tomorrow too.

And then, since I'm such a good person (cheesy smile goes here) I stopped at Michael's to "check out" the yarn sale. Spent $120. I need help...

Twinkies will live forever, much like a McDonald's hamburger.. in my purse.

good grief right?.......if you ever watched the documentary "Super Size It"." you'd never ......ever.......eat Mc Donalds or feel good feeding it to anyone you love ever again.

VERY true. I made my kids watch it when they were small. My sister in law called me after having them over for a playdate. "I'll have you know I had to actually COOK your children something for lunch because when we went to go to McDonalds, Sean kept yelling something about Liver Disease. What is the deal with your children?"

They listened, and she cooked. Everyone gets something out of this.

(More money than God, so you know my kids had a cold cut sandwich, but hey-she's growing)

Yeah, my son made me NOT go to Michaels today, when we drove by it. I had to go to Brians aquarium for chicken feed, and Michaels is literally a few steps down the road...Little creep. I really wanted to check out their yearn, er, SALES. yeah, sales...that's what it was...

Too bad he won't be home this week, I think I need a new Christmas tree...muahaahahaha...Michaels has some nice ones...

You guys are making me hungry!

The coop moving debacle is finally done!!! It has been underway in varying degrees for what seems like forever but it's actually now sitting on the cement slab, 75 feet away from the original location as of this morning. Unbelievable what a pain the you know what it was but it's finished. I cannot believe what a relief it is!!!!!! The chickens are all looking at us like we're crazy... putting the pens up, taking the pens down, moving several coops several times, taking a greenhouse down and moving that.. omg the list goes on and on. Anyway, I'm happy about it. e

Conrgratulations on your move! A few years back we moved our 8x16 storage shed which is now the chicken coop. Whew! What a huge project!

Haha. Thursday was my 51st, that's why I went away.

Ok, that went quick...
Let's see if I can remember.
Don't use activated Oxine. Very caustic, and actually dangerous for the birds.
I would only use the activator if it were just for the coops, and only if they were empty. For days.

I bought 2 dozen Silkie eggs. Of course, with 84 spots in the turners, they looked awful lonely.
So I grabbed all the nice dark Marans eggs I could find.

I am so seriously screwed in 3 weeks.
But I am doing this all in my office. Should be no contamination there.
I will vaccinate them on hatch day.
So if anyone wants a few birds Mareks vaccinated, let me know.
You'll have to bring them by, as it's only good for 1 hour, but I hate throwing out such a precious commodity!
Or, come over and pick it up, and do whatever with it.

This year is a new Thanksgiving trend, my nephew has invited the family over to his small apt in NYC.
Yippee, 20 people in a 1br. apt. Can't wait!

Thanks for the Mareks vaccine offer. That's very nice of you. I'm going to hold off on vaccinating for now. The birds shipped from Florida have weakened immune systems and I dont want to stress them any further.
