My turn to have attack of the quotes before I forget everything, lol=)

Hello everybody. New to the boards and stumbled on to this post from Utah. I am up north hear in Plain City and have a question. Does anybody know of any local (ogden area) mills that sell mash in smaller quantities. Don't want to have to buy a lot at one time, but from what I have read you can get the mash for about half the price of pellets or crumbles. Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome!!! Oh, and nice to see you Joybells and the person with the Utes logo... I wish I had an experienced broody I could get to you.. only have one so far, but I have 4 bantam cochin pullets, specifically for brooding, but only one has gone broody, and she did it when it was -18degrees out, sheesh, at least the others weren't that determined, haha
Oh, and Joybells, I will be hatching a bunch of SFH eggs this spring... come up to chickenstock and get some of my extra chicks

I'm attempting to hatch LF Crele Polish.

Ohhhh... sounds pretty!!!!!

I had a scare this morning! BOTH lamps in one of my brooder pens were OUT!!! I had babies piled into a corner totally cold. I mean seriously.......I have two lamps in the "1-2 week old little baby" pen so I have a backup. It's insane that both bulbs burned out at the same time. I ended up bringing one chick into the house where I put her in one of my incubators to warm up for a few hours. Poor thing looked almost dead. Good news though.....I got her warmed up just in time and she's now in my indoor brooder with the new hatchlings acting perfectly normal. Whew!!! That was close. I would have been horrified if they all died.

Oh, and about the feed stores getting chicks.....even when I have several big brooders full of them and two in the house I'm still tempted. LOL

Oh daer, that would be stressful!!! Glad that chick did ok!!

Sorry about your frustrations, Red... I really wish I could give you a hug, this will have to do for now..

Ok... just putting it out there again so ya'll remember... Doing lots of hatching this spring... I will have crested cream legbar chicks, Russian Orloff chicks, Swedish Flower Hen chicks and probably some extra Speckled Sussex, Welsummer, Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte and some other random breeds along with my own chicks (Marans, Ameracauna, Olive Egger and Easter Egger)... I hope to get most, if not all of them sold at Chickenstock... if there's something you want, let me know and I'll start keeping a list=)

Right now I have German New Hampshire chicks and a couple of my own with more of my own eggs in the bator, I will keep them until I know they are sexable. Oh, I'll also be hatching Wheaten Marans, but I plan on breeding them, so I will keep them until I know for sure what I am keeping for my project.....

So there are more not-so-good news going on in my corner. My BF's "ex"-wife and her lawyer lied and somehow cheated him and his lawyer showing up for a court appearance, which is bad. Now he's either going to get taken to the cleaners in court, or this is going to drag way beyond March. I am so sick over it. There is just no way to end this and have a decent life. I don't think I'll be seeing him for a long time.

Oh by the way, if I ever get married in my lifetime, you guys are certainly welcome to come. Just throwing that out there.

And I need to make some doctor's appointments and find out what's going on with my body. This whole past week, I've been nauseous and getting woozy. Been overheating for at least two weeks now. Got pains inside my abdomen (and before ya tease me, NO, I am not preggers. You kinda have to do some things before that can happen, you know

) Headaches all the time, but I think that part is because I have a couple of teeth that are revolting on me. Dang you, teeth. Who needs you, anyway?

So, le sigh. And le cry.

Thanks for listening to me whine so much.

I am so sorry you aren't feeling well. You should go get checked. you could have appendicitis or pancreatis or a gall bladder problem. Earlier caught easier cured. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

I think the Silver Lace polish I got from Cynthia is a Rooster, His tail feathers are starting to curl down. Any body want a polish rooster? He is so pretty but I can't keep him if he is a rooster, I also have a black Americana Rooster. Both of these are free if anyone wants them, I can't put them on KSL just yet because I'm going to LA on Wed for a cat show. Anybody want to send something to Aunt Hattie? We are going to take our time going but I worry about finding a room in Vegas as its Valentines week. We are also limited where we can stay because of the dogs and cats that will be with us. We want to check out the pawn stars shop and if its not too hot go to the indoor swap meet in Vegas. My chicks are so sweet. I am so enjoying them even the ones that are gangley older chicks.

Ok! I am going to write down the name if this ~ stuff ~ except, for the castor beans! Too many grand kids, dogs, and chickens around. Thanks! Looking these up for sure to see which ones I can use for what. Sounds fun.

yeah one thing you should get is the comfrey, it comes up yearly and is so useful and can be fed to chickens and other pets. it speeds up healing among other things.

Attack of the quotes! Oh my gosh, Sundance, I love you. I love how you put that. That is weird about the lights. I wonder if you tripped a breaker or blew something? I don't know, I'm not an electrician. But it just sounds weird. Hey Larson! Sorry you lost a hen. Those dogs have been so nasty this past year

Unfortunately I don't have any broodies, I'm sorry. I do hope you can find one soon, though. Joy, I so wish you and I lived closer! I would give you one of my girls so that yours has a buddy. I'm glad she is doing okay. Shower chicken........hehehe.........it makes me feel more comfortable with my garage chickens

Farm-acy. Love it

I, too, need to go load up on the herbs this year. I want some kind of mint, lavender, some more feverfew, maybe some kind of lemon-y plant. I need to plant the seeds I have for echinacea and chamomile and then get some new seeds. Oh boy, maybe we will have to have an herb swap on here?

x2! Wow........that's one of mine? How cool is that? I can see the baby, hee!

Hahaha, I'll bet I know which boy the daddy is, too. And it's certainly not my head cockerel. It'd be my gentle one, Sven - the one with the spiky comb that you like. He is the king of speed, and very good with the ladies. His brother tries and tries, but somehow, I'm really starting to think that Gunther is not siring many of the chicks right now, haha. How funny. Although, I was kind of hoping that at least six of those eggs would be fertile and do well for you

Dang.

red you should get lemon balm, not only will it add lemon flavor to anything but its one of the best medicinal herbs. sorry about all that stuff with your bf ex, that is so frustrating. and i think its great you come here to vent. we are like a family here and i love that we can share like that.

Ohhh goodie, SFH chicks!

That sounds great. Keep me in touch, I really want some of your chicks when you sell them. I loved having a flock of randomly mixed chickens, the veritiy made everyday chores so much fun.
Where, and how much? put me on the list, I don't want to miss them! You said something about Chickenstock but...

dunno what that is.

Boo-yah! Gonna get me some turkey poults. And maybe just a little something extra, if I see something I really like.

Birdman, I was thinking about the lemon balm. I like anything that has medicinal or soothing properties, especially if I can use it for my own herbal teas. Ohhh boy, now I want to run to the greenhouse and see what they have! Come on, March. Get here!

Sundance, I've had my gallbladder checked before, and it's supposedly fine. I do want to get a scan, though. Especially after consulting with Cynthia. I had a colonoscopy (sorry if that grosses anyone out) a little over a year ago, and they couldn't find anything except some possible minor irritation. I'll tell you what - what I'm feeling is not minor in any way, unless maybe you're going through chemo therapy. I want to send some eggs to Hattie, but all I have are LF, dangit! And mostly mutts, at that.

So sorry Red, you've been through so much with this x wife thing, it's no wonder your health is acting up. You know what I told you I thought you needed to do for your tummy. Tell..don't ask, tell your dr.s what you want done. And teeth can really cause havoc on the body if they are bad. You know where to go to fix that.

Glad you have ins. now, and hopefully will do what you need done to figure things out for you.
And hey, if I can whine on here, so can anyone else, I promise, I will share this thread with anyone else that wants to whine..or what seems better in my thoughts are.. looking for a shoulder to lean on, and/or someone that will listen with non prejudice. That would be us!

 

[Joybells]

What kind of fee's are there? I'm not sure if I can really afford a road trip, but I'll try my hardest to be there!

Can you have roosters? Chickenstock is kind of like a chicken swap meet in Idaho sometime in May
