Brookshire - I'm glad you had a good experience, and undoubtedly, there are some fine folks doing business on CL, but in my experience (both in chicken stuff, and other things, I have found the split of good folks to scammers to be about 5/95%.

I have an easy way for you to get a chocolate orp.  since I don't know how to sex chickens, you can come with me when I get mine.  The CO can find her way home with you.  
Easier to ask forgiveness than permission sometimes.

Sounds like I need to have more than 2 weeks age difference for them....

You are too clever...
Its a plan! Haha !

  Oh, the pour chicken!  

The site is soooo addictive! 

I know, I just spent 30 minutes looking at coop signs. Then somehow transitioned into vintage rolling pins and corningware...hmmmm

I did another rose cake tonight. I have the correct tip now. The frosting was a smidgen too thick so it doesn't look as nice as it could. It is better than the last one though.

It's been a long day. I got a lot done but my back is telling me I should have sat down more. Rest day tomorrow. Oh! I'm going to talk to a guy about raising chickens tomorrow. I spoke with him last fall and he invited me out to see his set up and how he does things. He has baby goats now too.

My husband was sent home today, he's doing great now that they got the codeine out of his system It's been raining here all day, we lost 2 hens 2 nights in a row, the 3rd night the dogs & I ran out & I found 1 on the ground but alright, caught her & put her in a coop for the night, got the live trap set & last night was awakened by screaming chickens, ran out at 1am found a pullet with all her tail feathers pulled out & her back started on, I was able to catch her, checked the trap & there was a raccoon in it!, when I ran out the door with the 2 dogs the raccoon must have run in the trap trying to get away from the dogs awakened again at 2:30am this time I had 3 hens on the ground that I had to catch & put in coops for the rest of the night. There must have been 2 raccoons together & the other one came back A friend came & got the raccoon & left me 2 more traps, so I have 3 traps set up, hopefully there will something in at least one of them in the morning

Beautiful cake!!! Have a wonderful time visiting with the chicken man! I suggest you tie your hands behind your back when you get there, or lock your doors and crack your car window a smidgen and DON'T get out.

I am so glad to hear your husband is home. He will get some extra loving!

Goodness 2 raccoons! Have you been able to tell how they got in? I hope you catch them all! I am so sorry for the loss of your chickens. Are the others okay?
