Kim that would be Chickielady. I don't know how she did it but I can give ya some ideas until she pipes up. hole saw in a drill, sawzall, sabre saw, razor/utility knife, keyhole saw, (or large caliber gun

). however you do it just be careful and WEAR STURDY GLOVES.

CR - you are just like my husband!! When he installed my new light fixture in the bathroom, there was no hole in it for the toggle switch, and he didn't have a drill bit the right size, but ya know....a .45 casing is about that big...I'm just glad he took it OFF the wall before he shot it! .....yeah, I am SO not kidding...

We use a sawszall...drill a hole, use a sawzall or a jig saw will work.

That cracked corn goes well on cold nights to help keep them warm. I feed mine whole corn in the afternoons when its cold out.

I have been gone about 24 hours, had to deliver the baby game chicks to Boldog before the next storm blows in, and she loves them !!
Hopefully she does not kill them, she admitted to having a black chicken thumb...man it is getting cold.
Anyways, we met up with Diane, and traded babies for more eggs for me to hatch, and went to M&D's and had a great visit/lunch..and hit the feed store, and grocerie store, and then came home and collected, packed & shipped eggs..and I cleaned all the coops and filled feeder buckets/waterers, and all is well....even the Lemon Blue Cochins are laying, but I have yet to get them and trim butt feathers for better fertility....I am egg-zasted.
Sounds like Zgoaladies' son is having such a hard time...viral meningitis ?
And Toni..oh I worry about that sweetheart, she has an over active immunal system like me, and it can go about attacking various organs of the body...so we keep our fingers crossed for both !!
Set more game eggs for Boldog..and have Delawares due in the morning at the PO..and Rocks in transit..and then I had to candle Wheaten and Blue Wheaten Ams, and it looks like we are gonna have a bumper crop of those...they are now in lockdown~~~
Oh I am eggzasted..............

Talk to ya all in the morning...

Thank you everyone.
So after I got off husband came running to me to tell me our Great Pry was in our pool yet it had frozen and broke through.

My son got her out and I had to dry her off, she's still in the house which is where she is going to stay her bottom is still damp.. Shes ok we are so lucky.. Can you say the pool is GONE!!! Husband said no he will put a fence around the hill side so she cant jump in it..

So my son the oldest just turned 27 and the other is 20. Its the oldest who is having such a hard time. I think the Dr just wanted to rule out SM because of all he was going through yesterday headach cant bend neck...

I have to candle the eggs here in a little bit to see what I have. The Wheatons are laying and giving me nice dark eggs. Im very happy with them.

T Hi please feel better, you'll love this my daughter in law said one of the women she works with had kids on my bus. I told her oh if its the older kids Im sure they are saying Im mean she said yep.. But than she told me she'd kill the kids if she had to drive a bus..

My son turns 12 tomorrow.
He wears a size 7 and is almost 5'.
What are you feeding your boy?
Mine loves soccer & BSA.
Joined the swim team, but did not enjoy it even though he adores Phelps.
We even went to the Water Cube so we could get some of that pool water.

The water did not have enough juju to keep him in the swim team.

Sounds like one of Alex's friends ... shortest kid at the school, and the same age.

The boy eats just about everything that is not nailed down and a few things that are! Yesterday I noticed we had 3 loaves of bread in the pantry, so I tossed one into the freezer. This morning I went to make some toast and we were down to just a few slices! I'm not sure when he ate the rest - we had salmon, rice and spinach salad for dinner and it looked like he had Mt. Rainier on his plate! He loves vegetables, Japanese food, most Thai food, Indian food ... The only things he won't eat are sauer kraut, pickled herring (or pickled anything), bell peppers that have been cooked, and tomatoes that are not made into sauce, and when he was little, he liked all those thins as well! DD on the other hand ... if it has color, she won't eat it!

My kid doesn't eat enough.
I find his breakfast in the trash. He sneaks it in when I'm not looking.
I need to take away his candy stash.
Does your DD eat cauliflowers & tofu?

THANK YOU, for watching.

Almost. My 15 yo son just took the garbage out....without his coat. Sheesh....can we say pneumonia? It is so cold. How much snow did you get?

It's hard to tell but we got some MAJOR drifts! I went ahead and locked everyone in again tonight and spread a fresh bale of straw for the waterfowl---even the Muscovies were in their shelters last night--but the stupid geese were just sitting there in the snow!

It's supposed to be cold tonight but the worst tomorrow night with -15 or so!

We just took the entire gang (kids) out to Rancho Chicos...now relaxing and trying to catch up on 2 days worth of BYC. I locked my pop up door last night and I did again tonight....that clear sky is making it colder than cold. Everyone is doing good here. Thanks to you and CL...I think I now know how to control the Cocci....I won't let it take any more of my girls.

RFF, I need to make arrangements to get that netting from you. I do want to buy it from you. I did PM you, but I just don't trust the PM system as it does not always seem to work. My only day off this week is Sunday, I am off around 4 tomorrow (Saturday) but I am meeting a friend at the local winery and we are having a glass of wine. Monday through Friday it would be around 6, then back to Saturday and off around 4. If you don't mind waiting a week, I could get it from you next weekend or we could do this Sunday afternoon.
