Hello all,
I am new to BYC just joined today.

. I live in Arlington, WA I currently have 3 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Rhode Island Red and a Ameracana (who should start laying in the next 2 weeks). I also just picked up a mail order of cornish crosses n 5 more RIR. Is there anyone out there that can answer some questions I have about Barred Rock Cockerels?

Ask away if we cant help with it we can always send you to someone who can..

Sad morning... Woke up to find one of my Rhode Island Red Chicks passed away in the night.

. I just got them in the mail yesterday morning so I wasnt attatched but still sad.... I guess 1 out of 25 chicks isnt bad tho...

Im sorry, its hard to lose them no matter how long we have them. I hatch and when I lose a chick I cry and it drives my Hubby crazy. Im one of those people who will try anything to keep them alive. Now my hubby has put a stop to it and says if its not right I need to let them go. Which I know is true but its hard..

So going to try and get some good pictures of Hobb's ( Its our family name from my great Grandpa) close to Hoss so thought he needed that name, my hen is Lucy (she's a splash)
Wish me luck

They sent me some free copies of Backyard Poultry if anyone wants them. I think they sent a dozen or so. I can always bring them to Monroe.

I so would want one. I would give you postage to send to me.

Those of you that wonder what your internet speed is, go to the speakeasy speed test here:

It will tell you your download and upload speed. Run it three times and take an average; perhaps even several times per day.

Craigslist ad

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/grd/2822593116.html

Inhumane, perhaps?

I called on these but they were already gone! I don't think the ad was inhumane since they stated they were not for food!

Ok so Ive never posted pictures, well not in a long time.
So here it goes.
Hobbs looked better before the storm but here he is.. I love him and as you will see he's the guy got to be in your face to see what your doing MOM..... To big to get in my face, creeps me out knowing what they can do to you. But I love him!!!

Quote: The ad said not for HUMANE (it should have read HUMAN) consumption!
(My response was a play on words)

SF: We have had this new high speed fiber optic line installed under ground just about 2 years ago or so.
It is monsterously large, in expectations of someday having people live out here (besides us) the cable being the size of my fore arm !
And of course they insist it could not be them, but I must say they are lickty split fast sending out a repair dude who can test it all from both ends.
I believe the problem we have is the spur, which seems it would be illegal even, goes to 3 homes before it gets to us, and we are the end.
Why we do not have our own line (like phones & power) I do not know, but maybe if I complain enough, which I have not, they might do something about it.

The finally talk with Toni was the last timer test:

Will the washer spin in any other cycle ?


She texted back: no

So that seals it, it is NOT the timer (fried in the regular wash cycle) it is sending a signal to the transmission & the tranny is dead, not moving except in agitate cycle.
Looks like T needs a new/used washer...anyone have one ?

Argh, hit the wrong button.

You have a signal amplifier at the house? The last time we had things slow down to nothing it was because the amplifier was blown (we have 350 feet or more of service line between us and the main cable) and had to be replaced.

I have every sympathy with THi; I once had the transmission on my washer blow up while I had two days worth of cloth diapers for two kids in prewash.
