hey Robin if you are going to plan a trip to Monroe in the near future let me know...Maybe I can pick up turkeys from you there. I still need to figure out how to do.

Speaking of, I probably should have mentioned this sooner, but I'm heading to Pullman on Friday morning for Mom's weekend. I'll be taking the Prius but have a little room if anyone needs any birds transported over to the east side of the mountains. If you can get it to me/Tacoma by Friday morning at 9 AM I'll pack it in and drive it over!



Oh, you are killing me....I don't think it will work...but bummer. Would have been nice. I could have met you in Wenatchee or Moses Lake. would have been nice.
 
Okay, had to reboot computer. Dumb thing.

Wanted to say I went to Feed Store and happened to walk by the chicks. I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself and we now have 4 Golden Comets inthe kitchen. They will go into my "layer pen" (which is just the pen for house eggs). I read up where they are good dependable layers and can tolerate pretty cold weather. Sounds like a good bird for my area.

Okay and I want comments:

We just had a Big R open up. They have an incubator it is a styrofoam, still air.....by Little Giant. It is only $50. I was wondering what anyone thought as this one for a hatching incubator? If it is a NO...I need to know. I will probably make one if the Little Giant is a no go. I a working on my cabinet incubator right now. Got parts orderded. Cut the hole in the door and have put plexiglas on. The silicone doesn't seem to hold all that well so we are going to pop rivet it together. Took out the top element. Try to work on it this weekend...but DH has a fly fishing thing to go to...I think he needs to get his priorities straight and finish my incubator.....

oooh I am waiting, waiting, waiting for my muscovy duck eggs to hatch in my incubator. It is so hard to just sit and wait because they are due to hatch sometime this week... at least by my calculations. Last i candled them I was able to see little duck feet moving in there along with other type of movement. Patience I need it. This is my first time using incubator and hatching.


What ever you do and regardless of how loud the squeeeeeeks.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR!! They will dry up in the egg.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I have actually looked at the coops on that sight and considered contacting them before to build me a better second coop than the one I'm presently using. You just don't know sometimes, do you?

Yeah I heard about this guy about a year ago when I wanted a bigger coop but I never thought much of it then I found this online and I was like wait I know that name. Its sad that people scam others out of the hard earned money. I am always very cautious about buying stuff from ppl I have never meet. Unless someone I know knows them or what not. These days its always questionable. So you never know. Its sad
 
That's awesome that he can help you out Dana!!!

I just emailed to see if there are any crates left! Don't know how I'll get one home, but I'll figure it out! LoL! Too good a deal to pass up!!!

I want to go to Stevenson, but it doesn't look like it will happen for me this time around. Hope you all have fun who can go!!!!

Welcome to all the new folks!!!!

Have lots of extra Olive Eggers! They will be black or cuckoo and may be split for lavender too. I'm bummed, I hatched out 14 of them, and not one lavender! Both parents are split for it too! Waaaaa!!! So no progress has been made on my lavender cuckoo OE project as of yet. But I have more pure Lav Am's in the bator as we speak, so I will just keep swimmin' up that stream! Oh, and if Jean is around, she so graciously gave one of my 4-Her's some bantam Am eggs at the show and we hatched out 3 for him! He was thrilled!

I also have some pet quality Seramas for sale, two black laced red (BLRW) cockerels and one splash Marans cockerel if anybody is interested, check out my facebook page and there is a link to my craigslist ad.

CGG! I hatched out 9 Orps from you split girls, and got FOUR lavenders!!!!! So excited!!!! My pair has been in with your hens for a fews weeks now. Gonna wait at least another week to start collecting from that pen as my girl was in with the pure lav orp roo before moving her.

Robin, you coming up to Monroe anytime soon? I was chatting with Monicas, and we both need a How to Vaccinate for Mareks lesson!!! She's getting some of my Orp chicks and we decided we need a teacher!!! Let me know if you can help us out!!!!!

Oh! Got my CT Scan results back and the Dr. finally called me this morning to go over the results and all looks 100% normal. So that is good news. Luckily that horrific nerve pain in my shoulder only lasted for one full week and then took care of itself!!! Still have a somewhat achy shoulder all of the time. Told the Dr I'm due for my physical and want to address that when I come in. Hoping to deal with that next week. Also have to get our little Figgy Pudding pup spayed next week.

Anyway, catching up on boring old housework today with this miserable rain. I totally overdid it working outside over the weekend and have some really sore muscles from bending over weeding! Do it to myself every spring!!! Nice to have a day off.

Later peeps!!!
