Sorry, didn't finish my sentence. The "remove nested quotes in replies" button, if you uncheck that box, it will quote the entire post, not just the last response. If that makes sense.

2 days of no rain...

Means:
Build garden boxes...
Remove fence...
Plant more vege & flowers...
Mow lawn...

Contractor is almost done with our bathroom re-do.
YIPEEEEEE.

His tile work is impressive!

He also re-did our electrical and put in new lights everywhere.
Very reasonable rates to boot.
Going to have him help me put in some more outlets for my Christmas/Devali lights.
He got my kiln outlet all set up and ready to fire.
I just got to figure out how to work the kiln. LOL
Slight technicality.

Will have to get my uncle to come over to show me.
He is a porcelin doll artist. hehe
Later y'all.

(great post CarolynF)

I can totally see this isn't the place.

I don't think you've been mis-informed. It didn't go from blue to brown, it went from light blue to dark blue. If I had to guess, I'd say it either took a really long time to get through the tube

Or maybe went through twice? And got extra coating. But that's just a guess! Only the egg knows for sure

Blue eggs aren't COATED like brown eggs. The shell itself is that colour, all the way through, maybe a bit lighter inside. That's why brown and blue egg layer crosses produce olive. The blue shell is coated with brown. You really couldn't have two different colour coatings in the oviduct could you!

I haven't built my chicken run yet (duck of shame

) and it is a TERRIBLE thing because my run ideas keep evolving! Now I'm thinking there needs to be a fort tower at the run entrance, and a massive gate.....

By the time I am done, these chickens are going to have a draw bridge, surrounded by a mote of man-eating sharks with laser beams.

Yes that's what I'm getting too the ONLY thing that I saw negative towards livestock was the OBVIOUS, they are not permitted to run in the streets or public areas, well my backyard ISN'T public!!!!! lol this is so frustrating :/ any one here from Yelm want to start a petition to change the law??? EDIT: really also frustrating why I can't figure out how to respond like y'all do with all the other convo's in the message blarg!

[COLOR=006400]When there is a post that you want to respond to, hit the "quote" button at the bottom of the post. If there is more than one that you want to respond to, hit "multi" on them, until you get to the last post that you want to respond to, then hit quote. I just this morning figured out that if you go to your profile, go to the edit account details button, uncheck the box that says, "Remove Nested Quotes in Replies". Hope this helps you. [/COLOR]

Now, can we get back to some cute baby pics, please??

Your wish is my command. (sorry for the weird framing: we are actually inside a fallen Gravenstien tree, knocked off its roots by a branch from a higher tree in the ice storm last year)

[COLOR=006400]Now, that is a cute baby!! What breed is she that she came out white? We want to start raising beef, but getting started with cattle is so expensive and we are pretty strapped right now. I was told that Red Angus are easy on fences, but in reading, the Scottish Highland is supposed to be really good beef as it is leaner. Maybe next year.[/COLOR]

He, actually. These are Polled Beef Shorthorns, which come in Red, Roan and White (and red and white) although the mama is one of the two crossbreds in the herd- she's out of a Hereford bull.

RGH- my offer of peppers was meant for CL, although if this is a good pepper year I'll be back trying to impose them on everyone. Pepper Math has a whole lot in common with Chicken Math- only think if eggs came in different shapes and flavors?

DANG.... DH just found a nasty ol' racoon in the back yard! It's DAYtime, not a good sign. He shot at him but missed! I'm sure he'll be back. Gotta keep a close eye on my littles since their pen isn't as secure as the big girls. DANG!

Good morning all!

I have 3 Sebastopol eggs that I don't want to put in my incubator. My sis-in-law's first baby is due next month and I will be going to visit in E WA, so I don't want goslings hatching around that time. I put them for sale on the 24 hr Auction thread, but so far, no takers. Might be because it's in the chicken hatching egg section...? Anyway, these are from my white, curly breasted breeder pair I got from pips&peeps last year. If anyone local wants them, make me an offer, otherwise my dogs are going to have a tasty dinner. I'm in the Olympia area. They'll still be good for a couple days if you can't get here today (or I can mail them to you if you want).

Forgot to add: send me a PM. I can't always keep up with this thread!
