After a long day at work I came home to find my Silkie roo (in my avatar) dead. I am not happy to say the least. What a craptastic way to end the day!
Awwwww!!! So sorry!!!!After a long day at work I came home to find my Silkie roo (in my avatar) dead. I am not happy to say the least. What a craptastic way to end the day!
That would be our reason to go there. My husband keeps looking at my hens... and thinking about dinner. I need to keep his stomach full and my hens safe.
But then who knows how the birds at the auction were treated/fed/cared for?
edited to add:
Any one have some unwanted birds in the Eatonville area?
Hmmm...All my birds are very wanted, but it's nice to know there are other chicken folks in Eatonville! Check with the people at Webster Road Feed and Graham Hay Market...they might have connections, and the folks at both places are really friendly. Black Star Feed in town is more local, but less knowledgeable...The lady there was talking about someone in the Ashford area with chickens for sale, but that was last spring. Good luck and happy hunting!

Welcome!!!! I only have extra roo's.....sorry! I think Chickielady had lots of girls at POL, go back a few pages, she had photo's and prices listed!

Oh NO! I'm so sorry. What had a craptastic day too. Here's looking at a better tomorrow.
Need a ladder to get the feed in but I thought the idea was interesting and some of you like to see it..............

OK, my turn for garden pics! I only took photos of the veggie garden though. Finally caught up on the weeding (for the most part!) last week, so I took pics. No picks of flowers or the backyard which is the fruit garden area, with 30+ blueberry bushes, 60 ft of raspberry rows, 30 ft of grapes, + 10 apple trees, and a few pear trees too!
This is the view of the veggie garden from our front deck. With two ancient Rainier Cherry trees beyond....
The sunflowers. To the left is my strawberry patch. Not quite done weeding that though. Gotta get some straw this week to throw over the whole thing. To the left of the strawberry's is a half row of asparagus. The second half of the row never came up. I think I am going to transplant the ones that did come up over near the greenhouse in the spring. These plants will be 4 yrs old in the spring and I've tried 2x to plan new starts in the other half of the row, and they've all rotted in the ground. I think mine are probably strong enough to make it....anyone done this before? I also don't like where these are, never realized they grew so tall and they are the first thing you hit walking in the gate, and DH has trouble mowing around them, so they'd be safer along the side of the greenhouse.
The scarlet runner beans. They are my English MIL's favorite so always have to plant some. Got these in soooooooooo late this year though. Just picked our first batch of them on Thursday! But the flowers are pretty and the hummingbirds love them!
Past the runner beans, we have many huge heads of red cabbage, and winter garden starts are in. More kale seeds are in, green cabbagestarts, lettuces, bok choy, cauliflower....
You can see the pumpkins and winter squashes in the background.
Another view of lettuces on the left, bok choy in the middle, caulflower with some reay brussel sprouts on the right, with spinach, carrots, beets in the background with a huge pumpkin creeping down between the rows!
Beets and carrots that I need to harvest seriously soon. With brussel sprouts to the left and more weeding needed on the right!
Have already planted more beets for greens and some kale........A row of peppers is to the right of the weeds, with a few newly planted cauliflower plants where the peppers didn't do so well.
Inside the greenhouse, 5 pepper plants down the middle, plus two HUGE basil plants and a rosemary plant, than 18 tomato plants around the perimeter. LOTS of huge green tomatoes and a small picking each day of ripe fruit, but mostly cherry and grape tomatoes with an occasional larger variety. Didn't get the greenhouse up until the 2nd week of June. Hoping to have ripe fruit earlier next year!!!
Didn't take close ups of the summer squash, winter squash and pumpkins, but they are all going gangbusters!
