I have to admit, I was apprehensive-my friends are goofy, and like to play jokes on me--as they know how I am about crustaceans and sushi. Would you believe one night we all went out (hubby's too) to the Indochine in downtown Tacoma, we ordered family style and along comes the mahi mahi (that's the seared tuna right??) anyway--they didn't tell me it was RAW in the middle. awww as soon as it was in my mouth--that texture.. ich. OUT it came. I should have known because they all stopped eating to watch me. Meanie heads--needless to say they ALL thought it was funny. SO i get nervous when they pick places like that. But the place in Enumclaw--I'll go back for sure! it was great. Do you get up to Fed Way?? They have that huge Asian market-- H mart -- I am sure they would have rice paper there. I used to eat crab, if the whole cracking process was out of sight--but same friends--they made me crack my own once and that was that. Big ol' half spider sitting on the table. blech. lol!!
I used to sell PL candles many moons ago, and guys used to joke about making Man Candles--so funny that someone is doing it finally!!
I love H mart! All the cool food
But you know, Slaveway & Albertsons carry rice paper in the Asian sections. I was to like the Korean BBQ place across from H mart and the smell there is wonderful.
You grill your own food at the middle of your table. YUM.
Before H amrt, I use to go to Paldo World. Good as well, but my fav place in Fed Way is Daiso.
It is inside the commons and it sells thing from japan...all items are $1.50
Love it.
I use to stay next to Wild Waves. lol.
I lived in Marine Hills above Redondo and west hill Kent.

I have one and she's not 100 but close. She laid, sat & successfully hatched out two batches of ducklings & chicks last summer. I am not really looking to sell her but would consider it...to the right home. I've had her since she hatched and she'll be 8 years old in August.

pips&peeps :
Lots of babies hatched today. I should have quite a few "bummer" chicks from my projects. They will be vaccinated for mareks and will be $3.00 each. They will be mostly black and some buff colored ones that aren't quite right.
Please let me know if you would like to purchase some eggs from my sebbie show pen. I will only offer a couple of these eggs as I got such wonderful results last year out of this pen. This is out of MAMA, who is pictured on my website, she has won reserve of Show and Best Goose many times and her daughter being bred by a big round headed male.
I also have a pen with an Overton male over my best girl hatched last year. These eggs will be $20.00 each.
If anyone wants to work on the silver variety, please let me know as I will bring some of the project chicks for the same price listed above.
I will put down a deposit on two female sebbie goslings from you from your best pens...if you'd like? Otherwise, I'll wait until fall.

So a lady I work with and her DH process about 50 chickens per year. I asked if she'd process mine (I want to buy some meat birds) and if so, what would it cost? She said she would do it at no cost--just for the fun of coming up and having a "butchering party." So it's settled. I will be ordering 15-25 meaties soon.
Now I just have to find a cheap tractor or build them something!

Dern it! Can you imagine all the fowl we would own if we didn't have to build coops for them all. LOL

I was mucking out my chicken run. It is now sitting in a pile in the pen until I can get the tractor to it....the muck underneath is frozen soilid, but if it gets up to 50 again today, I am hoping that it will thaw. The chickens were playing king of the hill on the pile.
I can sympathize with your mud. It is awful.
I am hoping that by April it will be thawed out enough for me to get a few loads of sand...I need probably 7,000lbs this time. Too bad I'm pregnant though...probably can't be of much help. I am sure that my DH will need a few beers or something! LOL
Heather, I think he will be deserving more than just a few beers...You may want to think foot rub, fancy dinners, margarita...back massage and soap down in the shower....whatever it takes to keep him happy to get all that sand spread out. For your driveway though get some good gravel. We always have Lee and Dukes bring us our dirt, gravel, and sand. They always seem to do a good job...unfortunately the expense is always the truck, not the gravel/sand necessarily. You might as well buy an entire dump truck worth....my DH got just a few yards once....it would only have been a few dollars more for entire dump truck load worth - it is the truck you are really paying for.

No....
I can't even think like that. I told my DH the other day that by the time I'm "done" building all of these coops, it would have been cheaper for me to invest in a pole building. Which he agreed with but he said that this way slows me down!
Which is sort of does. My biggest issue is that I accumulate birds before I have space for them (just bantams at this point). However, I have discovered stacking rabbit cages fit the open area of my coop wonderfully. In fact, I'm picking up a 5 tier one at the show.
It's too small to use as regular housing but will allow me to separate breeding bantams or bantams readying for show. I am saving up for a 3 tier, wall-mount unit that's 36" long and has the deep litter pans. That will allow me three more bantam breeds!

Egg shells may seem pretty solid, but they are in fact slightly porous. Old eggs float in fresh cold water because of a large air cell that forms as the egg cools after being laid. As the egg ages, air enters the egg and the air cell becomes larger and this acts as a buoyancy aid.
Generally, fresh eggs will lie on the bottom of the bowl of water. Eggs that tilt so that the large end is up are older, and eggs that float are rotten. The tilting is caused by air pockets in the eggs that increase in size over time as fluid evaporates through the porous shell and oxygen and gases filter in. The older an egg gets the more gas builds up inside it. More gas = more floating!
I got this off the internet just so I wouldnt have to type it up..
