i discovered a neat site where (for those who are artsy) can create their own print pattern.... or submit their own photos to be printed onto fabric

http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome

some people have their own designs public for purchase. prices are reasonable considering they are custom.

What, no bungie cords? My chicken tractor clear weather-proofing is mostly held on with bungie cords so I can change it with the wind. For the permanent run I'm going upscale with greenhouse-grade tarp material.

It's my patrimony: What was our milk barn, and now is dry storage and bottle-baby calf pen, was built about 44 years ago of used concrete forms held together with 40p spikes, the floor of raw-milled 6 X 10s framed on recycled telephone poles and the roof on unpeeled fir poles. It's still standing fine, even though a claustrophobic yearling bull once pushed his way out the corner and it had to be pulled back together with a comealong.

those are so cute!! who hatched out of what? colors breeds? and I dont know about the fused toes. maybe Cindy can chime in.

Thanks! the hatch was kinda crazy and they were all in the same hatcher so I'm still a bit confused as to who is who. Time will tell.

Still trying to devise a way to divide the hatcher into sections so I can keep them sorted.
pic 1-was either a lav or b/s AM
pic 2-from the L to R- OE, the lav or b/s AM, OE, and a Wheaten AM
pic 3- OE or ORP?
pic 4- Orp
There are lots more Orps but I was having trouble getting pics of them. So stinkin' cute!!!

DH said that it was eerie watching the 70 meter concrete pump dance around during the 7.0 quake. I am hoping to talk to him soon.

He is okay?

As far as I can tell his is fine. He sent me pictures of him with the Antnov and 70 meter pump in the back ground. He is going to be driving it from the airport, to the shop. I am not sure how far it is, but the pump is very oversize, and there will be a military escort.
At this point he is at least 150 miles from the reactor site, and there are no plans for the Americans to get any closer. The guys do have radioactive detection badges on, but I really don't know if it will make any difference in the end. I will have to down load some of the pictures and post them.

I forgot to add how grateful I am for your concern for my family.

all again.



If anyone has any questions for me, please PM me, it's been so busy around here lately that I rarely check this thread.



Well, we sold our two goat does and just have a pet buck now. Our Yak is due to go just after the swap in Oregon. As for new arrivals, we have 6 Black Copper Marans chicks that hatched out, 1 Shamo, and 1 Easter Egger. Another batch is due to hatch in just under a week. Should be exciting - Polish, Olive Eggers, BCM's, and Easter Eggers.

A pot luck???
Count me in!!
I'll bring a slab of thai marinated BBQ salmon.
Been meaning to try that ress - yippee for the longest time.
Count me out for the chicken lesson though.

Got to keep the salmon IN the tummy.

OHHHH Salmon!!! I love salmon, I was just kidding about the fried chicken, I usually bake or grill mine! Chicken wings work!! I'll have to break out the greens so we can have an awesome salad to go with it! Ok, I marked my calender for the first week of june for the freezer camp so, I'm ready when you are, I will have meaties old enough to go so It will be a productive fun weekend! I will bring my chicken plucker so we have a couple to get the job done quicker! I will be getting that this week! And my Muscovy's too! Good bye mosquitoes and flies and other sorts of nasty bugs, the bugsbegone troop is on it's way!!

I am going to have to pick up some fire bricks and some cement blocks, so that we can light a fire under the big pot, to dip the carcass in. I think I still have a safe spot to do it here. But my place isn't very big. It still makes me very happy to treat the place like the farm I want it to be.
