Great, now everyone thinks the CL eggs are from me...that explains alot.
I have recieved a few PMs that said the CL eggs they heard of were not very hatchble........................

Well we figured out how we could configure the kennel outside to make the run, now we just have to get the coop leveled and set down on blocks permanently, and the run permanently attached! Coming together, slowly but surely!

That is great, I need to start a coop like RFF is going to do but Im just going to have one that has two sides to it. That way I will have to stop getting chicks and new breeds. I do think Im close at stopping with the breeds I have now.

I hope

OH NO tell me the people and I'll pm them. Im so sorry

I wonder if other people are say CL for them too. CRABS Im sorry.

If you throw them out and don't respond, they will call you. I get them for my "farm" even though I only have a backyard flock, and for college grads. The college one is very long, and I quit my education related job 13 years ago, so I hate filling the darn thing out. They will call and hound you until it is done. I ended up doing them over the phone.

Really,
I always toss them and they have never called us before.

Got back from work and had a chick in the incubator. Then went to dinner with parents and came back and there was 2.

How exciting!!! What breeds are they? (you prolly said, but I missed that)

Hello fellow chicken lovers, I have 2 places. Spokane south hill and Nine Mile Falls. I have 2 incubaters going right now. I hope i do this right.

Where is Nine Miles Falls?

I'm about done (mentally at least) with this elevate the leg business. I missed my pets and the handyman I hired could not make it out today. I was just going to givemy hens some water, but when I went out to the coopm first time since March, I was not at all happy with how it has been maintained, so I spent about 90 minutes cleaning it (not thorough, but enough so I won't gag when I walk in). The BIG CLEAN will come when I am healed. My hens were funny - they still remember me and followed me everywhere. The 2 big broodies (a cuckoo Marans, and a Barnie) did not even fuss when I pet them. I think they are smart. They don's have rooster tracks. Most of the rest need saddlles. I am going to try and get most of the wormed with Eprinex this weekend.

After cleaning the coop, I bathed my dogs, trimmed their nails, brushed their coats and gave them their wormer.

I took in the mail this evening. Got the hospital bill today. 5 days in ICU costs over $9,500 for a tiny shared room! Why are hospitals so expensive? There was another bill from the hospital for $3,700. I am hoping the 2 bills overlap entirely; the second bill appeared to be mostly lab work, which I did not see any of on the giant bill. Seems kind of steep since they were never able to tell me what I have, and it is still not all the way gone. I see no Dr. charges on either bill. Also no follow up visits, etc... We just switched insurances and signed up for an HSA account in January. Usually, it's the way to go because the insurance is much cheaper, and you put money from your paycheck pre-tax into a health savings account that builds up year after year and that goes to pay your medical expenses. Since we just opened our account, there is not much in it, but thankfully I just got a small inheritance enough to pay off my car and pay my medical bills. The wood stove is going to have to wait a few more years. The good thing is we met the family deductable of $8700, so I think we will all go in for new glasses and orthotics, have ingrown nails removed, get those two female exams I've put off for 5 years, etc....

I feel a lot less stir-crazy today. The heavy squals and mud all over my clothes even felt good. I have been avoiding logging on here since I have been in a nasty, sarcastic mood.

You're lucky, they nag me like I have a bad debt.

I am so sorry that the guy couldnt clean the coop like they should have. I hope you didnt over do it.

Ooh, how fun!! I keep thinking and thinking about trying to find one or two more birds for our flock and I think I really want some silkies or cochins. Something decorative and fuzzy!
