man oh man you are brave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... Looking back bravery wasnt the word best fitting...Stupidity is maybe better LOL... See when I went to check the noise I wasnt thinking it would be a large critter and I certainly never imagined he would actually be inside the barn when I opened the doors..... The pitchfork was the closes thing to grab. To my benefit he was a young bear and I think about as scared of and surprised by me as I was him. I dont think I would have faired as well with an adult. So I learned 2 important things that night.
1) Dont put the dogs in the house when barking and you go to check out the commotion.

and 2) Take something that goes Bang when you go each time just in case.

I had the cutest dream lastnight.....
It started that we were haveing a BBQ at my house and by we I mean all of you BYCers and my family. Funny thing is that all of you had BANDANAS on your faces except for the few of you that I have met. Every one was out side looking at my coop (granted the house was completely different from what it is and so was my coop) and talking chickens when I decided I needed to go inside and make something that called for eggs. I looked in the fridge and there were not enough so I walked over to the wall next to what seems to have been the back door in the kitchen and there was a box on the wall about waist high. The box looked like ya'lls nest boxes that are on the outside of your coops so you can get eggs with out going in. KMHunter came into the kitchen to talk for a minute and I was showing her this box. I opened the top and it was nest boxes IN THE KITCHEN WALL so that I could get the eggs from the coop right from the kitchen!!!! It was the coolest thing ever. In the middle of makeing what ever it was I was making, I had some scraps for the chickens, so I opend the back door and holly cow the door led right into the coop itself. Next thing I knew was we were all outside again and and some balloons got lose off the table, we all tried catching them but could not and just watched them fly away. Then one of my kids showed up and said there was someone who had a basket full of our chickens and he was running for his truck. Now I am not sure what he drives in real life but in my dream it was a truck, but I think it is safe to assume we all know who the guy is that was stealing my chickens! The dream ended when HE got into his truck and drove away, the tailgate to the truck fell open while he sped off and gallons apon gallons of water rushed out. It looked like someone opened up. So it ended very weird.

You know I have had some pretty weird dreams but that one is almost at the top just because ya'll were there with covered faces!

I bet it was or

Hey CL!
Been nice to see you back online more.
How are you feeling today?

I smiled when I saw your post. The other day when I posted some garden shots I thought of you and wondered if you would respond with a few photos of your own!
I always love photos of your garden. You have such a green thumb.

You know what I've really been wondering about?
Your Lyda rose. How's she doing? Any photos?
I've wanted one of those forever!

When you get a chance, post some photos of the construction.
Good to see you online.

Ahhhhhh Panic!!!! Well a little So I need some advice from my Washington Friends..... I think I mentioned awhile back that we are raising Cornish X for Meat.. They will be READY in around 3 weeks time. We have never done this before A neighbor of ours was going to teach us the ins and outs of processing in exchange for my raising him 15 birds.. It was a great plan... Then today I found out that he is having complications due to a surgery and will not likely be able to be upright to help us..... Ahhhhhh.. So I have put my big girl "boots' on and have been watching Videos most of the past couple days on How To Do the Deed So I posted this in the Meat bird section but thought Id bother all you fine folks here too I just need a little advice and directions

So heres the Post :::::::

Hi everyone..... We are going to be processing about 32 Cornish X in about 2 or 3 Weeks. This will be our first time. So I am working now on getting everything ready. I am wondering if all you folks that have done this before have any ideas or advice on good set ups or tools needed to make the process go well?? You know like types of knives, tools, storage bags, how many buckets Etc...

Our County here has a program that lets us rent processing equipment for $20.00 for the weekend. So I have reserved that and hope the date I picked is a good one to match the Birds I will have Killing Cones, Plucker, and Scalder. So Im open for ideas on the rest of whats needed. Figured I d ask the experts before I go out and spend $$ on stuff I may or may not need

Thank You!!!!
