Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Stumpfarmer]

Well, mostly ready for tomorrow; I still have to wash out the two pet carriers but honestly, I can't see how I could have done any more today without falling over.

And I still have to go get groceries so that we don't have a week of badness next week, oh, fun.

Wow, Thanks! GREAT information and pics. We've never had any luck with the small cold frames we've built. And I've never ventured into the hot frames. Where do you get the heating tape? Do you still have to monitor the temp so the sun doesn't fry them? Or do you keep them out of the sun?

I wonder if a person could use an old ice chest (not the flimsy styrofoam one) , remove the lid and set a window on top? Or do they need to be slanted (higher on the back)?

So many questions

I think I really want one (or five) of these.

Actually, on the far far left side of the big hot frame shown...is a wafer thermometer, added to wires to the heat tape (ala Einstein)
I can adjust the heat tape just as I would an incubator...wafer thermostats are incredibly sensitive & accurate.
The heat tape can be found at most HD or Lowes'.
You can buy as many feet/yards as you need.
I bought a 150' roll from Housing for Humanity for $25 last month~~~~~~~~~~~~~YES A SUPER SCORE !!!!!!!!!!!

It can be buried in ALL garden beds in your green house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got really tired of all the speculation about the Kennedy killing a long time ago. I just know what I saw that day while eating my lunch.

Wow mike I think you may have just blown somebodys cover . But seriously how incredible to have been there. And to think we have been hiding you right here in BYC. I love history. Thanks for the great story.

Well, now I have a nice BLRW rooster and an incubator to use, yay. Progress is being made!

Need to eat lunch, check cows, cut plastic and wire and get the Ameraucana cockerel's abode done (oh, yeah: put the gate latch on that, duh) and, some time today, go BACK to Del's because I forgot to get cat litter, and get the grocery shopping I can't do tomorrow done tonight: dog and cat food! Can't run out of that!

Excelsior!

Next time I am up your way, maybe stop & pick you up what you need ?
I too get shut here at home~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You should just stop by some time and see what's up, anyway! ETA: Wow, speaking of things left undone, I have to squeeze in cutting my bangs before I leave tomorrow, or I won't be able to see anything.

I got a call a few months ago from a teenager that had bought some baby chicks to ask his girlfriend to prom. I didn't get how that was going to work, but he did it and then the girlfriend could not keep the chicks and he gave them to me. He could not remember what breed they were. At first I thought they were Buff O's because they were Yellow as chicks. But as they feathered they became red. So I though RIR's then they developed a lot of black in their wing feathers. So I have no clue what they are.
If you have any interest in any of my chickens PM me and let me know which you want.

Gee I wish I could help out with your girls, what a nice variety.

I Hope Your Birthday is a Great One!
And just ignore those kids, what do kids know!
