I think they would be a great source of protein and garden fertilizer. My 2 little ones are slow on producing poo.

Congratulations @getaclue on the big win!

I would love to get started raising meal worms but ....I just don't need any thing more to take care of right now.

We spent two hours in the timber today, clearing deadfall and tossing the rotted stuff with no btus for heating into ravines for erosion control.

I'm tired and it's not a question of what does hurt but what doesn't....nothing doesn't.

At least you'll sleep well tonight, right

 

[drumstick diva]

You'll hit the bed like a ton of bricks. Pleasant dreams

Oh my, poor woman! Can you soak in the tub? I found out i can still lift 60 pounds today, that is how much a bag of concrete weighs. Sure miss having a tub. This shower just is so wimpy.

No, unfortunately, just a shower.....there is the stock tank though....... I keep threatening to drag it up onto the deck and turning it into a Jacuzzi. Putting a tub and shower combo in is in the planning stage. We both have so much trouble with joint pain that it is almost a necessity at this point. We needs to soak.

I had better sleep tonight. Didn't last night. Tossed and turned till 1AM, thanks to ramming my head into a cattle panel yesterday. Yeah, I know, kutz city. I have a cattle panel awning that I made for my rooster pen. I had a large sheet of Koroplast that I attached to it, then all I had to do was hang it over the pop door. It was windy yesterday and one of the corner poles had blown loose. I repositioned it, turned my attention back to chasing down a pullet to mover her and the minute I turned my back the wind caught the pole and the awning slipped back down. Pullet ran under the awning, I spun around and dove after her thinking I would be diving under the awning and wham...head first into the cattle panel. It knocked me on my butt and immediately blood started dripping off my forehead. I'm dripping, the young cockerels are standing around looking at me like they are asking if it is okay to start eating me. The pullet is nowhere to be seen and I don't have a paper towel on me so I use a corner of my zip up hoodie on my now bleeding head and make my way to the house thinking Boy Howdy, here I am again, making my insurance deductible thanks to stitches.

Thank goodness no stitches. I did have a good scalp laceration that DH assured me was deep but not deep enough to need sutures or crazy glue. But man did I have a sore head/headache for the rest of the day and into the night.

I finally got to sleep at 1, at 2 the dogs woke me up. they wanted out. Got back to sleep, then awake again at 3. Dogs pounding at the back door wanting back in. Back to sleep and managed to finally get some rest. No headache this morning, just a very sore scalp.

Awning was torn down this morning and being replaced with a tarp cover. God, please tell me you can't hurt yourself on a tarp.

The bigger one on the left is the mealworm farm. It has adults, larvae, and eggs. I never win anything. YAY! Between the ones I bought, and the stuff I won, in about a month I should be broke out with plenty of mealworms for my chickens.View attachment 1201028

Very Nice!
