The Old Folks Home

FedCo's catalog is also really... interesting.

I always be sure to order something from them every year to ensure I continue to get a catalog. When it arrives (usually in the dead of winter) it is good for some cold, dark evening by the fireside reading.

An example:
2512LY Olympia
(38 days) F-1 hybrid. No more bad political jokes—our Senator Olympia could no longer stand the dysfunctional Congress and finally retired. For an almost fully functional spinach, consider her namesake
that always stands as strong in November as Olympia did at the ballot box.
An outstanding performer for the fall crop and even early winter but not as hardy as #2558 Winter Bloomsdale, Olympia grows fast, producing enormous yields of mostly smooth leaves up to 5x6" almost entirely lacking in oxalic acid taste, so her mild flavor goes down easily. But Olympia can’t stand the heat, and bolts quickly when planted in spring.

I just saw this. I try to keep every one in line, but sometimes something slips by me. I don't know what prompted the warning, but "YALL BEHAVE!" or, if it was me, "I sincerely apologize." Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
 
Cynthia I may make one for my chicken coop and see how they like it.... hahahhahha

I will check out the fedco site also thanks SCG I have been looking at the other sites as well. Thank you

Bama I think some are afraid to respond to your posts because they might be considered "partners in crime." If everyone goes to BYC jail, this thread may be scrapped. We do a lot of "stealth" laughing tho.
 
Ha, one of our daughters posted this on fb..how to make it. So my DH made it. It works! So easy to make.

A cooler, a fan, and a pvc pipe..fill the inside with some ice, or, frozen milk jugs of ice, which is our plan. I just have ice in there now. Ice will be better. It's in a doorway, I'm all the way across the room, and I feel cold air. Tuned off our air to see if I can be happy with this room to room. It's going into our bedroom doorway tonight. Pretty? Not really. Comfortable while it's this hot out..oh yeah!
My DH put some plastic on the end to show how well it blows out. :)


This looks great!!! I have a storeroom that just a little too hot even with A/C for my new babies coming next week. Not insulated. This may work better than the youtube box fan and water cooler thingy.

Just a thought regarding the age issue and appropriate/inappropriate discussions - as this is the "old folks" thread it may be worth considering setting certain areas as restricted and then approving entry to those who are of age, etc -- it works on several other forums of which I am a member -- the permissions are able to be set by the admin on a member by member basis so that only those approved are able to view the content of those protected areas (some are due to adult/juvenile, some on length of membership/number of posts, etc as far as being eligible for the protected areas)
 
ChickenCanoe, any mink update?

Anyone have experience hatching goose eggs? Is there something different about hatching them compared to chicken and duck eggs?

Love the straightjacket pics, highly entertaining :)

yes, goose eggs take a lot of special care.

@chiqita was posting some information and I think someone on the California Northern thread was hatching some Goose eggs.
 
The best thing! We got rained on! Fianally. The last few days we've had some thunder and lightening, little rain, but it poured here this evening. Love it! A good hard rain.
