Thanks, Royce, for using an old list that doesn't include me. . .

You bringing any Wheatens? I want to know there will be Ameraucana competition.

Oh heck - so that would mean in just a few months I will suddenly grow very intolerant. I just knew one day I'd end up being a cranky old woman. (Preparing now to stand on my front porch and yell at all the neighborhood youngsters...)


Heck no, I have my own private small state here.
OK, a county.

and I am sooo happy I do not have to sit o my patio next to my $1200 koi pond, and listen to my neighbor's kids getting spanked and screamed at, or their love making, or their toilets flushing (and other potty noises) Seriously, their home, and all the windows open, was exactly 4 feet away from our backyard patio.
Why?
Cus their modular was installed in sidesways, so their back slider was smack at our backyard, the only way they could fit a home on the pie shaped parcel.
I left.
Even more wonderful was their collection of chihuahuas..they decided a day care and chihuahua farm was for them.
The yappy dogs would run up and down the aforementioned fence. No amount of pleading would keep this 'easement' space blocked off for our privacy..they had kids screaming & fighting, dog yapping & snarling at us while we sat on on patio.
They were entirely rude & unfair.
They went out of their way to go up & down the fence peeking and screaming kids , throwing rocks in our koi pond, through windows, and they insisted it was not them that through the rocks...

and dogs.

So much for my newly constructed art studio.

It was rude for them to expect us to just tolerate their noise and chicld care business, or their dog business.
For a while they had 8 or 10 chihuahuas and up to 16 toddlers in the yard there, 4 feet away.
The woman stayed in the house, and the kids would fight, over toys, dogs crying snapping & biting, kids tormenting dogs, garbage everywhere...crying kids, did I mention toddlers beating up 1 yr olds ?
Kids falling off the swing set, did I mention kids crying ?
Kids in pain ?
I cannot handle it.

And I could do nothing about it, and I did not want to be there anyway, why waste the last best years of my life having to put up with that applesauce?

Ok check it out, see if it is not identical...it must be a kit.
Tamara I would love to donate a quilted thing but sew machine is packed away and have nada here...but I will get something nice...I think garden stuff will be good..patio table candles, yeard ornaments and tools...potted plants ?

Edited to add: I HATE the way these birds are NOT SOP coloration!!!

I could lend you my spare sewing machine. I could meet you in Puyallup if you would like to borrow it. I am a quiting enabler also.

But you are so sweet for offering !!

16 toddlers is over the limit here in Kansas. you could report them.
Here you can have a total of 10 kids that includes your own. The ratio was something like 2 infants, 4 toddles and 4 school age kids under the age of 11 or 12.

Sorry Illia. I just used the last list that had been posted. Didn't mean to leave you out.

Yes, I'll be bringing both Wheatens and Blue Wheatens. I can't say that they're going to be in any kind of condition but I'll bring what I can.

God Bless,

Major bummer! I am sorry that your duckies may have cooked. I would still try and see what happens. Maybe it wasn't long enough to heat them all the way up.

Looking forward to chatting with you again Royce!

I'm bringing a bunch of bantam Ams, I have a new black cockerel that I'm pretty excited to put up against my cock bird!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back with another question!

We have a lot of raccons here on Mt. Rainier so would it be sufficient for me to double chicken wire around my pen or do I need to buy heavy duty wire fencing? I am a senior citizen on a limited budget but when we build my coop I want the chickens to be safe! I need to raise chickens for eggs and the meat as well as having fun with them. I need all the help I can get, please!

Thanks,
Nancy
