Hey Julia - talk like a pirate day was a few weeks ago - you're behind schedule!

I ended up putting the water dish up on bricks to keep junk out of it. It was such a relief to not have to be changing their water every hour!

Anybody out there in Western WA chicken land got any polish hen/pullet chckens for sale?

yeah, it wasn't long before I wound up putting the water on a cement block ! the chicks could hop and fly up to it, but only a few at a time, yet the top of the waterer was too awkward for them to ascend -- those EE chicks seem to be precocious flyers and perchers ... they definitely appreciate wide branches or chunks to sit upon and survey the territory

I have all sorts of short lengths and chunks of wood, wish we were closer, I'd run them over to you -- but you are more than 30 minutes driving time away ... Bruce doesn't want dog smell and dog hair in HIS car, yet Roxy would be an utter nuisance if I were gone that long

I'll have to figure something out tomorrow, I'm short on everything right now- all my bricks are from a friend's chimney that came down in the Nisqually quake, and I've used up the ones with no mortar stuck to them, ditto the small pieces of broken driveway (I've got a whole lot of ones too big even for my son to move

). I also have a whole lot of foot-square two-inch thick pavers, which are, in addition to being really heavy, stacked down where we used to have the watering trough and therefore in the most inaccessible place possible.

Of course it's also possible that I should go up Yellum tomorrow to buy hay for Bacchus; my BIL didn't put up any square bales this year, so I'll need to buy a few for the days when I'm not up tethering him out to eat brush. I should have my hired hand to drive me around, and I probably need to go out and get hay and materials more than I need to break myself in half finishing the Wyandotte coop. Dunno, it depends.

I've had this happen, too. I don't fill the whole jar anymore, just the tray part.
How many days are they supposed to be on paper towels? They (the towels) get dirty SO fast. I'm forever changing them.
