Looking good, bama.
Hey, did you watch the game? I like to see Bama win but that was just embarrassing.

Are those a adult beverages I see?coop is coming along slowly but surely
Having worked in the mills owned by poultry producers I have to say a couple things both good and bad. On the plus side their nutrition is pretty good and really no steroids or poisons(except for 2). It's pretty well on a par with what is commercially available at feed stores. Their feed is also much fresher than what backyarders and small holders give.I wish I was able to eat our own since I know we only feed them good healthy food and not and junk and poisons or steroids.
Having their own mills, they're trucking it to the farms the day it is manufactured.
On the negative side, their recipes are formulated to provide the best nutrition at the lowest cost so may include things like feathers to increase protein or artificial enzymes to extract more protein from corn allowing mixes with less of the more expensive soybean meal. They also must include antibiotics and/or arsenic to keep pathogens at bay. Those 2 things make them grow faster. Delaware was the first state to ban arsenic in poultry feed just a couple years ago.
And I love well prepared roast duck.
Perhaps they haven't had real homemade apple butter. Seasoned properly, it's to die for. We made a years worth every autumn and I ate it about 3 times a week at breakfast.
It's that stuff that measured 9 inches in 12 hours overnight just a little north of me. I luckily only got a couple inches.What is this thing you call rain?
Rather than oil and natural gas pipelines, why aren't there cross country water pipelines. We could fill your reservoirs for you.
I've lived all over KC. The Plaza, Liberty, Raytown, OP. Where are you?
Can you adjust the temperature? My rotisserie for chickens is a set temperature and is way too hot for anything but a Cornish X. Older birds need to be cooked low and slow.
I'm only getting 2 or 3 a day but mostly because of so many broody hens.
Speaking of embarrassing, anyone see the Rams game? Yes we lost our quarterback for the season but still, it was humiliating. At least the Cardinals are making their perennial September playoff run and kicking serious booty.
That will do it. I have to edit my pictures.
i did watch it. Im having mixed feelings about bamas offense so far this year. Im thinking bama vs florida gators game will let us bama fans know what we are working with.Auburn is doing pretty good too
i never trapeze without a net
@ChickenCanoe The long waterpipes are a good idea. That's what we've got here, the Päijänne-tunnel supplies over a million people with water. It's the second longest water pipe in the world.
Having a cold bottle of Red Stripe myself. Goes well with gardening...after I've had a couple the weeds don't seem to matter as much.
Its 4 am and the best time of the day for internet. My wife woke me from a sleep of six uninterrupted hours straight - a rare thing for me. Some how I managed to commandeer the blanket and toss it off the bed on my side.
I never use the blanket as the AC is set at 76. I got yelled at. It was the first time I some the blanket in 6930 days of marriage.
Yesterday I spent the day doing the rewiring of our egg house. Its a 44 x 12 structure with a dorm style room on one end with a bathroom then a room for incubation that has a dehumidifier, an area for hatching, brooders and feed.
The original building was 12x12 and as each of three additions were added, extension cords were added. It was a mess of wire and a fire trap.
After installing a circuit breaker, 11 power outlets and three lights we turned on the power. Everything was going well and every outlet was checked. I turned on the last light switch and it worked. About ten seconds later the light flickered and the volt meter on the 220/110 converter that was next to me was dancing and then the power went out.
I am fully competent when it comes to wiring but I had three staff and a shower that i adore all thinking I ducked (had to keep the word alive) up the power. A miscommunication led me to believe that next door was without power also so I had blaming stares removed.
At 445 we called the power company. At 530 the lights went on next door. I textv then to ask when their power was back on thinking the work truck may have arrived and they were working on a shared meter pole.
They text back and said the power had never gone out. Despite my insistance and trying to explain that adding worrying down stream won't effect the whole house and the three outbuildings as all circuit breakers were OK, disparaging stares returned.
We have a wonderful breeze that, as if controlled by the power company, automatically stops during power outage.
It was dark, hot and humid. We ate an unromantic candle lit dinner.
At 745 the crew arrived. They, without testing anythinh blamed our electrician. I showed them the main circuit breaker and suggested that they test for current. Nothing. I then explained that we laid 225 meters of two #2 wire underground to their meter just a few years ago and perhaps they should check current at their meter because our wiring is sound. Our electrician is sound.
I went over to the meter on the road ten minutes later to see them changing the wire running down the pole to the meter. They then got the full weight of my booming voice cast upon them.
Blame the electrician will you???
At 845 power was restored. Faith in the electrician was restored.
The alarm will go off in 18 minutes. We are off to finally get the replacement papa goat. A half Boer/Nubian to improve local goat genetics before getting another pure dairy buck.
Have a great day y'all
