And yes, those Cornish X were tasty! I may have to go in with you on a meat bird order come spring...

I don't take chances any more. I call the police ASAP. I get on Facebook and alert neighbors to the creep that's in the area. I make phone calls to neighbors, and I walk door-to-door to warn them. DH's had his vehicle burglarized more than we can count now.

Eesh. I want to move away from this area SO BAD. This place was nice before the Casino went in. Now we have drunks laying in people's yards and all kinds of rif-raf to deal with. Unfortunately, our house values are in the toilet, so I'm probably stuck living here for a very long time.

Ugh! You're right to be cautious, sounds like you need to be.
I do hope that you are able to move somewhere away from scary people, rocky soil and neighbors who don't get kids and chickens.

Total props to you Robin! I couldn't go through with my first kill. Still haven't. JB witnesses me totally freak out like a little girl and she had to kill my birds. I suck. Someday I'll man up.

Or we can just have big BYC processing parties and you can be part of the cleanup crew or something while someone else does the actual slaughter.

I have heard certain rumors of folks on this message board packing up their tools, driving to your location and building you a coop with the supply list the builder provided you. The builder only asked to be reimbursed for the fuel necessary to get to/from your location. I believe there are at least five people on this message board who can collaborate my story.

I plead not guilty of chicken-enabling by reason of insanity.

And to add to those rumors, they are very well built coops! Plus the builder and his wife are pleasant people.

How to visit Julie without getting shot:
1. Call ahead and set a time
2. Call again when almost to her place. Report location, model of vehicle, number of occupants in vehicle
3. Use Navy semaphores to signal arrival from OUTSIDE the fence
4. Wear Kevlar from head to toe

Just kidding ya, Jules!

Your so funny Robin!! But, it's probably a good idea!!

I'm waiting for the butchering to recede from my head a bit before plopping them in the stew pot. I think all 4 will fit in one pot!

They need to sit for a bit so the rigor mortis passes anyway. I can tell you that roo stock and gravy are very, very tasty!

Looked at the current weather radar this morning and had to check the date to make sure I wasn't seeing yesterday's cached version. I'm not very enthusiastic about the resemblance, to say the least. Particularly since I'm in the Logger's Dilemna: I get as wet from the inside out wearing rain gear as I do from the outside in without it.

The sheep will be very happy today, since I had to whack out a pile of the Brenda Colvin rose branches to save the Tower of Solitude and he does love his giant rose treats. I have to do more whacking today so I can replace the roof plasticas the wind Monday drove the branch down on to the roof and the thorns ripped the heck out of it; Snotty Cockerel is currently under a mortar tub until I can get to the roof. NOT my idea of the best activity for a wet October day, and much of the reason I needed him gone.

OH- as some of you were probably snickering at me when I posted the photo of the Brahma cross the other day, what with the fine golden leak-through on his shoulders: he crowed yesterday, and I would have dope-slapped myself if I hadn't been trying to keep a one-inch gauge rose cane from scalping me.

Here is a story I wanted to share with you!

DH has always lived in the city. I have been trying to convince him for years that we need to just high-tail it to BFE and live without the craziness (i.e. drunk truck drivers) not to mention Hilltop Tacoma has never been my dream spot.

Half of me came from a family that lived for open air and potato farmin' - it's in my blood! Little did I know that all it took to convince DH, was my DAD! They had one beer and by the time I interrupted that conversation - DH finally lit up like a light bulb! It was the best look I have ever seen! He realized we were working for nothing. How all of our money goes to pay for gas just to make enough to pay a few bills. A few bills we wouldn't have to have!!!

I'm excited that our property search can expand now to the far reaches and I don't have to be tied to a city!! YAY!

Marital bliss right here! Can you imagine how many chickens I could have!!

You go girl!!!

good job pops!!!
