If you need help with the processing part, DH and I do a freezer camp. Anyone is welcome to attend, basically it happens those days, is that we process our meat birds, and you can either watch or help. DH is a very good teacher, and can answer just about any questions.

I think that it will be another 6 weeks before we are ready to do the dirty deed. It doesn't help that the meat birds are still very cute. I have to say that it is much easier when they are 8 weeks old, and are rather disgusting looking things.

But go slow, and research different breeds of the animals you want, and what you want them for.
Once you decide which ones, then we can all help you look.

I need to figure out how to put up an icon/avatar/userpic and add to the info under my name; I've been online so long under so many forms of coding that I'll probably post a whole lot of the wrong code.

Must get into town shoes and run off to the first weekend of the Oly Farmer's market, see if any of my friend's there have clues as to hens!

The avatar is the only picture that I have any trouble with. It drives me a bit batty. (I guess that's okay, cause I am a bit batty anyway.

) I can't seem to get some pictures small enough to use. For me some pictures work, and others just give fits.

Thank you! I will seriously take you up on that! We are getting a plucker soon and any tips would help! I am all for getting my hands dirty!! I was raised on a farm, did the FFA thing was a Vet Tech for 10 years and a Boatswains mate in the USN! Not much scares me or makes me blush! LOL! Let me know when and where!

So true, but I ate the brownies.

I need my eenie. Eenie makes very good brownies, and they are still warm when they get to my house.

I still need to make some beet brownies. I have read that once you make brownies with beets you never go back to the original type of brownies.

And the reason I am here way way to early is that DH left this morning for Japan. He won't be home until the 20th. So now I don't know if I am going to go to Stevenson. DH was supposed to go with me, and we were going to stay with old friends in Carson. I just don't think that I want to do that without DH.

Toni came up with another idea, but now I have to call her, and try to figure out if things will work out if I really want them to.

I should just go weed the front flower bed before the rain starts again. Then maybe I could make the brownies, before the kids come and get the leftover stuffed peppers.

OH, okay, now I understand. I thought you were worried about the worms in your compost, or something. The compost will actually put off heat...helps them to stay warm. I used to raise worms (for fishing) under my rabbits.

Eggg-zactly the truth.I have ba-zillions of worms, all flavours and sizes and colors.
I have thought several times of doing the fishing worm biz as a sideline of the chicken raising??

Some can stretch out to about 16"...chicken gaggers!!!

They sure work the raised bed boxes well.
