Yes, it does. Perhaps the original poster would have better luck offering him in the auction section to find someone closer who would be willing to take him. I'd still be willing to get him north, but beyond you, I'm afraid we're stuck.

I do have him in the auction section and I have him on the Oregon section. I have him on Craigslist also. How far would you be willing to go Touch O' Lass? Are we looking to get him somewhere in the neighborhood of Wenatchee or farther north on 97?

My other option is to take him back to the shop where I got him. They have a guy that takes all of the chickens that turn out to be "he's" instead of "she's". I would just prefer to know he is going to a good home.

I love this site. http://www.meetways.com/Halfway-poi...nd-Vancouver-WA-USA-poi-Restaurant-ahw-0.html

mixed up the bleach solution we were talking about earlier in the week, and the chicks are drinking the first lot

they gave me rather dirty looks -- not quite stink eye -- since it doesn't taste like their usual apple cider vinegar flavored water

but they were thirsty so they drank anyway

I didn't think we had any problems until yesterday when I noticed some rather wet poo (up until now it's been well formed) ... so with luck we caught this just in time

they decided with this chilly damp weather, they'd rather be in the coop or the covered run, rather than the tractor, even though I threw a tarp over half the tractor

why are we having June weather while it's still May ???

Note well: the Yelm Farm Store, which is really close to Kaneke and she and I have mentioned in passing, has 50ft rolls of 1" poultry mesh for $27.00 and change, way less than anywhere else in Thurston County (< Lincoln Creek Lumber < Olympia Supply < Dels <<< Home Depot). They also have a few chickens wandering around, including a nice mongrelish Crele rooster.

Moment of sadness/ realizing my own luck at the Yelm Cemetary: I went to investigate a new big marker, a granite boulder strangely shaped, only to find it was for my friend Shelley's adult daughter, her only child who died (in a climbing accident, I think) a year ago; her parent's were killed by a falling tree in the Columbus Day Storm, and her brother is also gone. Seems like a lot of loss for one lifetime.

On the other hand, my husband was dispatched to put a few magnolias on my great-grandparent's grave and the grave of my mother's youngest brother, and it finally hit him that my grandmother lost her husband, her resident parents-in-law and her youngest child in less than two years.

It's been a bit of a push, today: I thought I had plenty of lilacs to take up to Yelm, but the sleet storm had mashed them to pulp. I had to cut a whole lot of blackberries which had jumped the fence into the garden and tip rooted before I could scrounge what flowers there were, and while I was doing that, Suzzy got out again because she WILL lay her egg where she pleases, thank you, which for some reason is under the giant trellis for my giantest rose: I may just as well give in and extend their run eight feet, I suppose, which is one reason I bought the wire. Easier than figuring out how to block a hole she's determined to unblock!

No, five; they also have six* but I can't handle that without a lot of help. The 100 foot roll is under $50, but again I can't juggle that at all.


*They have 12", 18", 24", 36", 48", 60" and 72", all in 50 and 100 ft rolls. They do not have hardware cloth less than 48" wide in anything but five foot rolls, though, although they do have narrower cage wirein long rolls.

I'm gonna check our farmstore here and see if it is the same!
