Cat in my lap as I am trying to type this and 2 puppies playing on the floor by me. I so much as move, they are on my heels wanting to know what it is that I am doing.

Everyone have a good evening.

HI KIM NICE TO SEE YOU BACK !!!! The feed from Scott is almost the same as I was getting before. Ron has seen my feed and could tell you what he thought of it. Scotts feed is ground more like a course mash

I have a way that I cook FRESH eggs for hard boiled and they peel very easy.

As for the electric fence ALL of the wires need to be insulated from anything conductive (ie wood or metal). So if you have the wire attached to anything other than non-conductive ( ie. plastic, fiberglass, plastic or glass) it will not work. Probably the easiest way I know would be to string a "hot fence" just above the ground and at about 8-12" above the ground. Also if you buy a NEW fence charger it will have instructions to help you.

I read these things, and can't believe how lucky I have been. My heart goes out to both of you.

I know, for a fact, that they also send sex offenders to Texas. My DH are keeping an eye on one...our family is one of his victims. He was....and I say WAS...a family friend, whom we trusted. At bbqs, bday parties, etc. He had a 1-time shot at my daughter....he planned it out, and took advantage of the situation. He is a bullet stop to me and we told the FBI agent that. I told the FBI agent he would probably come looking for me if this guy ended up dead...Mr. FBI told me that I would be on a long list...that there were others too, that would kill this man on sight if he ever came back to this town. It is sure hard to trust people when this kind of thing happens so close to home and with someone you trusted. He assaulted his very own daughter since she was 8, she was 13 when it was discovered. That girl is now living with her mother and she (the dd) is a screwed up mess. Again, my opinion, a .22 shell is cheap....or a thing of rope. You can get on line and follow these guys if you know the pen they are at. Is McNiele island a Federal pen? This guy here had to face federal charges for putting pictures on the internet - he sent the photos to the Netherlands and then someone there disbursed them over the internet. So, our guy had Federal charges and State charges to face. He got 25 years Fed charges and (I think) 25 State charges to be served one after the other (not simultaneous)...so he has 50 years in prison.

I apologize as it is not Godly to speak this way of someone....but it is a hard pill to swallow, especially when I am such an overprotective psycho mom...and I let this MONSTER get into our family. They work the family any more....not just the kid.

Well this is my soap box (this and spaying/neutering dogs and cats - maybe should do some people too). This is making me depressed.

Love to all.

Those of you who have lost children from a miscarriage....my heart goes out to you...I too have had this awful experience multiple times. God Bless.

I understand the way you feel, though I may have never felt it. My ex-husband was arested and charged with 8 felonies. Drug charges, gun charges, and sexual assault charges. And it was his 13 year old NIECE and her two best friends. When I found out, I carried a huge burden of guilt with me for a while. His friends blamed it on me leaving him, as this all happened right after I walked out. But I thought long and hard, and came to the conclusion, that he is just an evil man. If I had stayed I highly doubt that I would be alive today, as the final straw pulled before I left, was a loaded SKS held to my temple. I appologised to his father, told him I would be leaving in the morning, and packed my rifle and enough clothing to fill a backpack. Had nowhere to go, and survived the streets of Seattle until I was able to find a place to live...

I no longer carry any guilt over what he did, as I had nothing to do with it. I made amends with his niece, who I love dearly to this day. Told her of my grief for her, and the guilt I felt. She cried gave me a hug, and told me not to feel that way. She has turned out to be a gorgeous young woman, and has moved on.

BRRRRR! It's in the teens with howling wind! The windchill is supposed to be -16 !!

I just went out to my coop and it was 25 degrees in there....

So I blocked four out of the five pop holes (the ones on the north & western walls). So we'll see if that helps...everyone was roosting and looking slightly inconvenienced and little Harriet was huddled over her single chick....

Just to give a heads up to all getting feed from Scott. I went and got feed today and he told me that the price has gone up on corn ( he has to buy it) so my next feed may be about a dollar a bag more. I totally understand that if his cost goes he has to pass it on. I think that is still less than feed store and probably better feed.
Scott also told me they are considering opening a retail feed store.

Lemme guess. . . . He still gets the GMO yellow dent corn like everyone else?

 

[Chicken Rustler]

I don't know what he gets for corn.

There is a thing, down south, called Turducken, it is a chicken stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey. I had someone tell me about it...told me it was really yummy. Oh, and it is then stuffed with stuffing. You can buy them on line and at Cabella, but they are REALLY expensive.

I've had it the last couple years with the in-laws. They like it, but

I didn't think too highly of it. Seemed too... processed?

Dunno never tried it but figure if its my own birds then it can't be too bad... When I roast birds I tend to stuff the inside with rosemary, onions and a bay leaf or 2 (rosemary and bay are from my garden) This seems to make really nice moist roasted birds.

I'll try it once and if its good I'll try again

but maybe I should just start with a quail inside a chicken. and if that's good then try and put inside a goose or turkey...
