You can also filter it further by Washington State to see who the really chatty ones are!

Thanks Terrie - but I think we all KNOW who the really chatty ones are already!

Crazy winds, serious downpouring rain, and. . . Power outages. Experienced two blips today.

Ugg! Means this little break that I am getting isn't going to last much longer...

I have already had to go out into the road and pick up my neighbors Jolly ball... Couldn't figure out why all these cars were slamming on their breaks in front of my house. Then go out there and theres this giagantic purple ball being blown around the middle of the road. Really wish my truck had a traqiler hitch... I worry about the horse trailer being parked under these stupid Hawthorn trees... they are constantly dropping big limbs in this type of wind.

Heres to hoping nothing breaks off and lands on my trailer...

Illia I hope you don't have a bunch of eggs in the incubators... That would be awfull to lose another hatch to a power outage.

I'm in the process of building a 4x8 coop myself. And Ive decided to have the people door along the 8' side. Don't know about you, but I dont own any 8' long rakes. lol So my people door will be about 4' long, that way I can clean the coop out more easily, this should also make it much easier to clean off the poop bored, under the roosts. At least that is the goal...

Congrats on your DH's reinstatement! Even if he is having to commute.

Yes, I'm converting the plans so the people door is on the 8' side too. Right now the plans have a charming little window with a flower box on that wall.

Of course, it's adorable, but I think if we install one of those it will go on the 4' side. I also don't like the "slider" pop or people doors. Give me good old hinged doors please. So if I have my way, the coop will be a combo of all the best things about "The Garden Coop" and "the Playhouse Coop" listed in the coop designs. Now it's just up to my wonderful builder men. I'm stocking up on plenty of beverages and soup/stew making supplies this weekend, so they'll be well fed and hydrated during the building.
I will be helping of course - painting mostly. I'm not so good with the power tools. At least that's what DH believes, the same way I believe he is incapable of separating whites from darks when doing laundry, so I have to do it. We choose our delusions.

Thanks for the congrats - of course right now I feel like I'm exchanging one set of worries for another, meaning I'm worried about his commute and having to learn to drive a forklift, and hoping he keeps his mouth shut and his head down but eventually things should settle in place as they are supposed to. Three more years of employment - that's all we need!

I have to coops that have the girls laying on the outside of the coop that way it doesnt take up space on the inside. My husband is great at this kind of stuff. He just got done building another little goat shed. If you want I can see if I can get some pictures later.
I have to run and trim our bucks feet wish me luck, he's so in love with me has to have my face next to his and the smell

. But I really do love him.
The FBCM are really starting up now with laying Im going to put some eggs in, in the next day hope I get a few from the blue girls now since they are running together I'll see what hatches.
The Blue I got last year are very nice, I have a few friends who got some..
Rain stay away...

3 free bantam araucana/americauna cross chicks. Black, blue, and white- just hatched Thurs. Probably more to come.

Araucanas and Ameraucanas are two very different things. I'm guessing they came from a hatchery or feed store?? In which case they are Easter Eggers.

Hi zgoatlady! Did you get my PM's and email I sent? Landlady at the shop was asking if we'd be able to get those doors moved out in the next week or so as she has a new tenant moving in and will need the space a little more cleared. Were you still interested in them?
