Yay! If you go over there, you'll love it. During the grand opening, we went back twice (they had 25 cent hamburgers and a free bounce house for the kids). We literally spent hours there... at least a couple of hours walking around the store, and a couple of hours (or more) watching the kids jump in the bounce house.

We dropped some cash though... lock your wallet far away from you to avoid temptation.

My husband and I both came home with Georgia Boot Romeos and he also got a second pair of boots for work. And, of course, chicken feed, a rake, two sprinklers...

Did you see the girl and woman walking around with the baby goat? Had a 4-H kid come and get my little girl and her milk bottle down there to show people.
But really hope you havent gotten the corid its so much cheaper out here at plateau vet enumclaw. This office will sell stuff to people and they really know there stuff. If you have a vet that will call them or write a RX they will sell it to you most of the time. I love them

Here are the co-mamas with their newest baby - the little yellow one - transplanted from Hallerlake's

I'm sure s/he is happier with age mates and Mamas who like babies more than eggs.

Please dont breed Wheatons to Black Copper , it wont make blues even if its a Blue Wheaton. You will really mess up the gene pool for Marans. I dont mean to be harsh. Now if you tell eveyone what you have done before you sell them I guess its ok.

We are going to eat them, is that ok with you?

It's either going to be a Wheaten Maran Rooster or a Silkie Rooster. Are you going to give me BC or Wheaten hens so I can kill my roosters?

Hey everyone! So....don't flame me. I decided not to quarantine anymore. I got Ricky from Dawn and Princess from Tamara and they are both in great shape! I've inspected them daily since Saturday (yep only 2 days), assessed my risk, and decided to put them in with the bigs. Man, the big girls aren't very nice. There's only a 3 week age gap between oldest and youngest and right now it seems huge when it's 8.5 and 11.5 weeks! I hope they all figure out the new pecking order soon. Princess is beside herself and didn't even go in to roost with the rest tonight, maybe just taking a break from the meanies. last night she spent an hour in the house with me. I had to go out into the run and take her to the roost bars where everyone else was all settled already. I'm confident there's nothing wrong with any of the birds and if there is I knew the risk. I have meds on hand and I'm just keeping a good watch. I don't ever plan to acquire more outsiders as long as these ones breed just fine; hoping to have some of our own chicks in the spring, as long as Ricky steps up and does his job eventually

It's perfectly okay to crack up over a funny yolk you hatched, don't need the rest of us to egg you on.

Hope your hatch is going well!

Today's bee extraction went pretty well. While we found no brood I did get a few thousand bees and about 40 #'s of comb loaded with nice honey. The bees have been added to hives at home and the honey will become bee food and a little "beekeeper reward". I got stung first thing. I took a total of 14 to the area around my right elbow!

Those pictures are pretty amazing, I found them interesting. Hope these bees do well for you.

I've really had a good time, made a bunch of new friends, and I really appreciate everyone's kind words about my work.

Thank you and your lovely wife Debbie again for giving up your weekend plus to come out and help us with our coops and runs! I know I speak for the other gals too when I say we are very grateful and thrilled with our new structures. The VelvettFog Western Washington Coop Tour was a success!

It is so awful...hard to describe how I feel, especially when we work so hard at security, to have these critters UNDER our cabin ?!?!
You'd think they would attack a coop far away, but this pen only had pullets in it.
I feel like I have been assualted, and the perp is still in the house.
I cannot hardly eat & have been physically sick.......................I will try to get updates when I can.

Oh Robin, that is awful! How sickening...especially knowing those blasted critters are still lurking, waiting to get more of your birds.

I really hope that you and Einstein get them!
