Aww thanks I will for sure let him know. He is in training right now to become an E-5. We are all very proud of him and I think thats what keeps him going. I know it cant be easy on him leaving us behind. We dont live on base he is reserves so I dont have that but I have found a lot of military spouses online that I chat with so that is very helpful to just have someone who understands because as you know no one truly understands unless they have been thru it.

My first husband was in the Navy, our first year of marrage he was home 85 days. I moved to Japan to be close to him, I did a lot of growing up there. It is very hard. I didnt have children than but my friends did and it was hard on the kids..

Well at least you "care" about what you feed your kids! I have seen some parents feed their kids total crap!!! My husbands daughter is one!! And she wonders why he doesn't listen, can't sit still and is extremely aggressive!! And as long as your husband doesn't have to drink the goat milk I don't know why it would be an issue? you don't have to drink the soap!! LOL!! I had never had goats milk till last year, doesn't taste much different than cows milk to me?? Put some Hershey's chocolate in it!! LOL!! Anyway, good for you for being proactive and learning how to be self sufficient!! that's awesome!!

Thanks... I agree about watching what kids eat. My 5 year old started kindergarten this year and he had a lot of troubles because he just couldnt sit still couldnt keep his hands to himself. SO I took him off all processed foods.NO fast food cut down on canned items from the store and boxed items. Paid attention to what was in the food I gave him and hes done a complete 180. He still has his moments but he now is able to control them. Some people dont realize how much one simple thing can hinder a growing child. Now I really wanna try to make goats milk soap. I found a recipe for mango butter goats milk soap... oh my gosh that would smell amazing. I have never tried to anything made from goats milk I mean anything edible so I wouldnt know. I think maybe if he had it fresh there would be a difference. I mean I wouldnt wanna drink anything from Iraq.... Sanitation is well pretty much non existent.

I got some goats milk ice cream at a local Grocery Outlet store,just last month. I drank goats milk as a child. I love it. It does matter how it is handled, and if the doe is in the same pen as a buck if I remember correctly.

I do think I saw that.I think you said 11"x16". Am I close? Sorry I am kind of running in circles right now and have probably been missing a lot of things.

Yeah, I suggested 11x14. I was looking at a sheet of paper and thinking that wasn't quite big enough, so the next size in paper/pics is 11x14. I didn't actually try to see how big that would be relative to my coop though. How much do you think you'd sell them for?

Also I talked to My friend about the colored chicks and he wants $5. each OR 25 for $100. That's $4. each if ya buy 25. and yes you can mix and match as you please. I should have about 60 with me. I am really starting to think I may need to bring the trailer.
So here is the deal IF I bring my trailer ALL sales were prearranged (wink wink)and I am just making deliveries right! Just play along.

ETA What colors might be preferred ? Bare so one can paint as they like, red, flat black, blue, diamond plate aluminum or stainless steel?

RFF How about this. Of course the goose would be just silouhette and all would be in proper proportion.

I'd love some but won't be able to get it until after the 2nd...

Stock freezes pretty well. Just let me know. 

I can let you guys use my foodsaver and bags if someone can stop by and pick it up then bring me back some stock with the foodsaver after I get back...
