Lol.. I get called the "Crazy Bird lady".. they stopped calling me "Crazy Chicken Lady" when they realized I also have turkeys, quail, pigeons, ducks, geese, emus......

Course after the last shipment of two frozen possums and the 5 frozen boar heads that may change too...

Dare I ask?

im going today if ya wanna follow...

I got everything yesterday. Went to Main ST and Jensen. Today I'm gonna be working on a new pen for the new trio and cleaning out the others. Planted 36 mustard green and 6 cauliflower in the garden yesterday. Busy busy busy!

I started my eight 19-week old pullets on organic feed yesterday. They sure were leery of the new-looking food but then they did take to it pretty heartily once the brave one checked it out. Price is pretty steep though.

Lol.. i clean skeletons and skulls as a hobby for use in studying skeletal anatomy and as a basis for artwork (kind of a version of osteology).. Since don't always have access to freshly killed critters.. sometimes I have to get them shipped to me.
You wouldn't want to know what all is in my freezers right now!

and I think my current collection might make you shake your head and wonder if I am completely nuts.... (which I am.. it's one of my best qualities)!

I spent a good portion of yesterday building a pen to grow out my turkeys that I got in from Ideal. of course they are too small yet to put out there so they are staying in the tub brooder in the house till they get in more (some) feathers. I still have a lot of tiny details to finish on the build but all in all i think it came together pretty good

That sounds like a tough job, but I guess someone has to do it. Don't think I could handle it. I used to be so tough... blood, guts, gore and trauma didn't bother me. Now I don't do so well with it. My wife has to do the eggtopsies on the eggs that don't hatch. She loves to do that anyway...has to know why...I just know they didn't hatch.

I'm thinking of doing something like that, except using metal tubing instead of PVC and bending it with a bender. My son has a bunch of EMT conduit left over from an electrical job and was going to scrap it! I'm glad you posted that pic. What is it covered with?

My husband does pretty well with it; he can stand there and watch. Unless things are a bit rotten and gooey.. that's where he draws the line!

i layed welded wire over the top of the pvc and then used furniture wrap to cover it , to provide a wind break and rain protection. I got 4 huge rolls of it from a thrift store for a dollar a roll.It sticks to its self and is fairly hard to tear, and the price was right ( its kinda like heavy duty cling wrap) i made a wood base and then used 2ft rebar tapped through the wood to anchor it and provide something for the pvc to slide over. For a temporary structure to should work well and break down again for storage fairly easily
