Shelly-

baby chicks soon Here is one of my brooders for the older chicks..it's in a warm draft free area..the basement dungeon so I don't worry about drafts...they have a full view of all the action..you know the washing machine dryer and friends.This is my double decker brooder but we have some smaller singles as well..They took about an hour to make

My "new" house is up to this point 100% recycled it's 8x16 with 8' walls. 2 exterior doors 4 operational windows and to date we have around $200 in it but now I'm insulating it that will go up.Not very pretty it's "rust"ic but in the Spring we will coat it and paint it to match the house or something.Jen has been out here several times so she knows how much I want those high walls and doors

Here it is..it doesn't lean really

supposed to be a snow pic-that's the back side that will turn out to the play pen..as you can tell it's not finished...he needs another weekend to have it livable and then a few weekends to build my brooders but the big chicks will be able to move out

Hey, TN gang! I am still here, but I leave tomorrow morning. Hopefully! They are predicting 1-3" of snow for tonight and that snow is heading towards New York. Think warm thoughts please!!! I am supposed to be in Nashville at 8am tomorrow, so that means leaving my house at 7am. Pray that the roads aren't slick. I'd hate to end up in a ditch on my way to ITALY!!!!!

I hope to update the blog every other day or so. Check it out for pictures.

Holly,is my pullet laying yet(the oldest one),Iwas just wondering what color her egg will be!

 

[HBuehler]

Okla yes she's laying..I have lots of her chicks here blue with cheeks and feather legs

they are Olive Egger she lays a decent color egg I'm very fussy about what I call blue but hers are pretty
They are doing great nothing in that pen laid well today..slackers!
There is another Exotic sale in Cookeville in March..think I may take a few birds and see how well they sell...there is definitely money at that sale..if you can afford a monkey or a zebra

 

[Okla-doodle-doo]

Keep me posted please. I have always wanted to go to that but haven't made it yet. Maybe I can this one. I heard things were high there,but that there was a really good variety. I think I would have to go and stay overnight because I understand there is a lot of "parking lot"selling!lol More snow,we may never get to meet up!lol. I will owe you a feed bill!

 

[HBuehler]

The sale for the barnyard animals or the things we call chickens begins at 9am on Friday.My npip has expired..when the tester is available I'm not so one of us had better become available quick since it's npip only.As a seller I wouldn't mind high prices I would really enjoy that

more money for more chicks
No worries about the feed bill they just had their Ivermectin and all ready to go..maybe Friday or Saturday is supposed to be around 50 again..should be able to get out...lets hope

Morning snowy friends! We have between four and five inches and its still snowing,although not as hard. And its wet and beautiful! Proably won't last long as the ground is not frozen. Here are some early morning pics.
