Poor T-Hi !
She just has one crisis after another.....wish she could get a lucky break !

Well, I went through photos, think I got it handled so the porta potty does not keep popping up in my album (

Really, what would outsiders think if they surfed my coop album & saw that ?
Especially the porta potty on wheels ?

OK, off to do chores now...hopefully the rain stops for a little while~~~~~~
 
I got this info in an email and thought it sounds interesting:

Livestock Farm Management Classes presented by the Pierce Conservation District, a non-regulatory agency helping landowners improve their farms since 1949. Contact Rene' at 253 845-9770 x 106 to sign up and receive directions.

Biosecurity: Is your Herd or Flock Safe from Diseases?
Saturday, February 4, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Puyallup Public Library

During this workshop, participants will learn farm disease prevention, monitoring, tracking, reporting, and identifying, the symptoms of potentially contagious livestock and poultry illnesses from various speakers from WSU Extension and the WSDSA. This is not a doom and gloom workshop, but is instead for the backyard or small farmer who has concerns regarding current challenges to how backyard farming is conducted.

Hi all. I have 2 beautiful drakes and a sweet cayuga duck needing new homes. Free to good home and the duck house can go with them. I would like to keep them all together so they don't stress in a new flock. I can't get any more ducks and I'm afraid my drakes will mate my Cayuga girl to death this spring if they aren't introduced to more females. I am not in a hurry to get rid of them (actually I'd like to keep them as long as possible until their "urges" kick in as the weather warms) but would like to know they are welcomed into a new home where they will be loved as much as we loved them. I can post pics later when my cell phone finally charges (lol) but if anyone is interested please pm me with questions. Thank you.

i bet this will be good. I use to work for WSU King county ext, they had lots of great stuff. I loved that job. But we would work side by side with the Cons. Dist, they have lots of great stuff.

Thanks, RR and Imp, for the help in finding what I've been missing on BYC.
RE: PMing, I haven't had any problems in the past couple of days.
I do have problems with the slow load speed, but that's probably just as much a function of my pleistocene-age computer as it is the rich media ads' load time ...
 
checking back in, the power is on ... here ... again ... for good, I hope :fl

DH had a talk with DS, and the decision came down, that DS agreed to care for our chickens while we are gone :yiipchick

didn't seem possible, after all, that we could build a coop and run for them over at Julia's, given the weather

(and all the other factors) :he

besides, DS has gotten used to GOOD eggs and is loath to go back to store-bought

so in the next ten days before we leave, I am hoping to get the coop and run all fresh and clean and secured from the nastiest of the weather3.

DH bought a hundred pounds of chicken feed, and I'll make sure they have enough oyster shell and sunflower seed too

still haven't heard anything regarding the chicks we left on Maui; I may get together with the other BYCers there, maybe get a few chickens, and build up a nicer coop by the big house for them, leaving the thrown-together one down by the cottage available for whatever chickens survived the year
