Where will you get the quail eggs!

If my birds don't lay enough eggs before the set date I'll probably get those James Marie meat makers from EBay. They are selling a lot of them, big place, and they have good feedback. I'll take a chance with them.
I want to clean out the big coop anyway and downsize to one group of chickens, naked neck/giant's. Already have someone that wants all my birds after I hatch out the crosses. Normally I would just put them all in the freezer but I'm pretty attached to my giant rooster. If someone wants to take them all it would be easier for me.
Had someone on the N.Y. thread wanted NN hatching eggs, I explained what I was doing with the cross and wanted to get rid of them after. She said she'd come with cages and cash for them all. The NNs are all from last yr hatch so young still, giant's the rooster and one hen are 3-4 yrs I think? But the rest are from yr before hatch.
She wants them I'll probably just give them to her, save instantly on feed $$

Since I down sized, by feed bill has gone down a lot!

I will check out James Marie on Ebay

@bruceha2000 you ain't lived till your dog gorges on a fresh kill rabbit and about three hours later ralphs it up in the middle of the dining room floor. The smell is bad....real bad...gag inducing bad and I have a cast iron stomach but not with that one. I'm gagging, DH is throwing open windows and the appearance is like a transporter accident from an episode of Star Trek. Thank God they don't do that too often.

Just wait for them to scarf it back up....

LOL... I read the drug facts online and was aware of the possible mood swing stuff... Yesterday and the day before I feltMy brain was like a hula girl

first day I just felt odd and wiggly. Second day it was more and I realized it was side effects.

Today I am fine... Night mares are common with me I have learned to watch rather than be scared. So when they ramped up it was like watching some of the scenes from Walking dead... Have no patience for that kind of show...

My dosage is 300 MG three times a day, By the way

Wow, you a much better handle on things than I did in the beginning but I guess I have an excuse. I first went on them several years agoand at the time I couldn't find out anything except it was an "off label" use of Gaba to prescribe it for neuropathy and no one had any idea why it worked for that but it did. By the time I was finally able to track down some actual info on side effects etc. I already figured it out for myself. Like right now, I'm having what I describe as one of my "whoopee" days. Light headed, a little off balance. On these days I've learned it's best to just stay in my Lazy Boy, it's safer

Morning gang on Barf spectrum first started making dog diets working with Cancer dog golden retriever's with Brain cancers... they throw up key is to make it such it can survive nutritionally through through four or five rounds of it as in toss and re eat that many times

I think they were real smart to call it "Lazy Boy," and not "Lazy Girl." Maybe someday they will make a model for the latrine - then you could really have the best seat in the house., and wouldn't have to wake up and run to the bathroom during the night. Might need seat belts though

Dang... Been trying to be active in the new member greeting section over the past week and for some reason this thread dropped right off my list. Any thread you post to automatically becomes a watched thread, so I had way too many. When I checked some to delete and clicked the button, it deleted ALL of them so I had to re-add the ones I truly watch back in. Just finished reading some 50 pages.

For those that are sick/unwell, best wishes for a quick recovery. Sorry you're under the weather. For those with more serious issues, I hope the treatments have the desired results.

Deb, SO nice that you're getting back to your old self! I know there's still a length of road to travel, and we all here are hoping it stays nice & level with no potholes for you.

SCG, that quilt with the glow in the dark thread is awesome! Some kid is going to positively love it! Don't waste it on a baby, that won't appreciate it. Gotta aim it for ~5 yrs old and up.

Beer, when I first started drinking my goats milk, I had "loose stool" for a while but nothing like what you described. There's a dairy farm a couple towns over and when I moved here I'd make the drive about every week and pick up 2 gallons of raw milk from them. It was glorious! So good, and never a single digestive issue with it. After a day in the fridge, you could look at the jug and almost the top 1/2 was cream.

Sorry, I just don't like sour milk (or dairy liquid with chunks in it) so don't like yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, etc. As an aside I don't do moldy cheeses either, or the really smelly ones. I will eat sour cream in taste killing dips and the like but not straight up. Jury is out on cottage cheeses.

I've ridden road bikes since I left home for the Navy. Had neighbor kids 5-8 years my senior that were into choppers and trikes. Went for a ride with one of them once and my parents about killed me. Wouldn't even let me buy/wear dingo boots because they were "biker boots". stoopid... Had a Honda 50 minibike during high school. Beat that thing to death. Gas line would fall off so had to watch or catch fire while driving (happened to a friend who was using it, on a farm lane. lucky he didn't catch the farm on fire too). Sold it to a friend who let his little sister drive it full speed into a brick retaining wall. That ended that.

First ever legit bike was a Kawasaki 750 LTD (1981ish). Next was a Kaw 1500 Vulcan Classic. Now have a Harley Road King Classic (what the Kaw simulated, but now I could afford). Always wore a helmet where legally required to. Stopped when it became optional. Too heavy and slows head turning, obstructs clear vision. After 40 years of riding, no serious accidents, though there have been some really scary close calls. Nearest I ever came to laying one down was when I stopped for gas, someone distracted me and I got off without putting the kickstand down.

Flew for 24 years (crew, not pilot) in the military. Dreamed about flying as a kid. Did a year of AFROTC in college, pilot track, during the Vietnam draw down. Realized I wasn't ready for college so joined the Navy with a guarantee I'd have a flight job. Had several close calls but survived accident free. Took private flying lessons for a few hours, but it got pretty expensive for a single dad with kids, so let it go. Still have the headset, nav tools and books. Never know, might win the lottery and start again. Still love flying. Lottery would mean jet ownership almost for sure.

Sun is shining today after a week & ~7" of rain. Walking in the pastures is like walking on a water filled sponge. The goat pen is a muddy mess. The weeds are growing rampant but too soft ground and too wet to mow. Trees are throwing buds/leaves. As usual, the Bradford pears are going first.

Now that I'm caught up, time to make a bank run, scrounge a couple of pallets, and try to design/build a hay feeder using those and some 2"x4" no climb horse fence as a sling to hold a bale. Cutting the pallet down to be the shelf base under the sling to catch droppings.
