Quote: What size trailer do you have??? Maybe I can give you some pointers. See I can only manage 8'x16' on my trailer. But the one truck will take 7'x12' if I take the crane off the back.

What "brooder holes" do you mean my 3x5 nest rack

we've got one of those 4x8 utility trailers with foot-tall sides and a wire mesh taller tailgates that doubles as a ramp. My truck is a 1/2 ton with a 6 1/4 foot bed, so it's not going to handle much, and besides the canopy is a PITA to take off ......

and yes, I was referrign to your nest rack- sweet design!

heading to bed- my son and I both came down with a bug today, within hours of each other. argh!

BTW- I got some awesome net today from a seller on Armory way- 10 x 55 for $30. After using it for my son's birthday party/whale fundraiser, I'll be using that outside- some for the chicken pens, some for the garden to grow beans and peas on!

CR just one question - how do you manage to eat, out in public, with your mask on?

CR is very, very sly and quick. I sat right next to him and couldn't catch him at it.

Have you ever let Pig Pen near them without wire between them? I've wondered if he would still be so sociable with them if they didn't have that wire barrier. I like that he's been good at chasing the big girls off if the big girls peck at them through the tractor.

ETA: Why can't he stand up for himself, when he'll stand up for babies! Oh, wait, I do that too.

Pig Pen is my 10mo 12lb Orp rooster, he can stand up for himself. He is outside the tractor and shows interest toward the chicks(Silkies and orphan LF from last hatch, 10 weeks). There is no way I am letting him near the Silkies, he would squish them flat. They don't even come up to where his feathers start on his drumsticks. "Ridick" the orphan will be too big to stay in the tractor with the Silkies after a few more weeks. He is going to go onto the layer flock once the pallet coop is done(new ground for everyone).

Quote: That may be a LOT of people. If you plan it please give me as much notice as possible so I can try and make it too.

Man today is going to be a long day.
I have to take two of our DS's and on of our DD's to the dentist today. Thing is they go to a specialist all the way out in Mount Vernon. Takes us an hour to get out there, big boo! I really wanted to get some things done around the house today.

I'd love to purchase a six pack of eggs from you! But won't be able to get that far south until this weekend.

So if anyone is headed north from CRs place - please think of me!

It has now been four days, she is very committed and was flat as a pancake when I closed up her coop tonight, so cute!
NOOOOOO I thought you ask if anyone had had any go broody not if they had eggs. The ONLY B I currently have are B Fav. currently trying to get some to set for me to hatch. Sorry

Oh darn - I read that wrong Oh well! If anyone else has any bantam eggs to hatch, please let me know! I did find a farm in Poulsbo that has some, so I may be taking a ferry ride this weekend
