Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[blueducklings]

Seems like I am right in the middle of the 2 biggest quackers on this site,with one in Redmond and the other in Bonney lake.

I am pretty sure this is why I am feeling so daffy lately! I am truly ascaredt I am about to grow webbed feet here..... duck math might be the next curse that happens to me.
Those bowling pins are really beginning to show up in my dreams...errr...I mean...nightmares! I just keep seeing slug-eating monsters.....

I'm going to bed, hoping I don't have a dream about ducks again. I KNEW I should not have picked up that green turtle kiddie pool at the yard sale....

Green turtle?

Yard sale?

Mine is a $10 walmart kiddie pool.
The ducks like the biggest ones, but my back voted for the smallest one.
Better yet, I put them on a stream when it is not too muddy out.

My set up...

Duck door opens and closes from back deck...check
Auto feeder...check

Auto waterer...check

Auto egg collector...bummer

still working on that one.

For the newer members: hallerlake and I have been friends for... wow, how long, lots more than ten years, anyway, and sometimes address each other in shorthand.

Also, on another posting board I frequent I am known as Confusa...

(And on another, Cronescaper).
We met on the aol garden boards about twenty years ago.
DH Steve and I met on AOL chat rooms around the same time - 1993

While I was at Walmart today I thought for sure I saw Colonel Sanders. But when I called his name he did a pretty good job of acting like he didn't know me.

Mikey where were you today???

I have Comfrey contained in a raised planter so my ducks probably don't know what they are missing, LOL. I know a place where it grows like a weed so I can dig up as much as I want anytime. Fortunately it grows from small root pieces so it will grow back for you. If you need the leaves for fertilizer right away let me know. I need to go dig up some for someone else so I could take more than I need and share it.

I had 4 plants, but the ducks found them. Raised bed or not.

I'm planning to plant a bed away from their playground on a raised bed.
Is there a way I can get some from you? I don't think my little roots are alive. Saw nothing last fall. Nothing now either.

wow, not looking at this site for a day and it just leaves you behind. The electric work has been done and the mill is back up. I lost a few of the day old meaties because of over crowding while the electric work was being done, but still have about two hundred doing great now. I also have about thirty asorted layer breeds and most of them need homes. if anyone is looking for some free straight run chicks let me know. I will list them for sale on cl Monday. there are some astralorp, some gray chicks with featherd feet, a rir, several rose comb anconas.

how old are they? do you do this often?? where are you located?

NO but you can see what one can do with a little work. See these are coops I got for free then added free paint. NO sorry I am NOT giving them away! ! !

got it got it! thanks ill go look again

"Freezer camp" is a euphemism for butchering a chicken and putting it in the freezer.

Thanks! TerrorBird made it sound like you put the live bird in the freezer :/

Sure, I dug up plants today with huge roots so they will easily keep growing back. I have several good sized plants per container and there are a dozen containers so I have plenty to share.
