WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

It could possibly even scare away all your friends!!!!!!!! Hey it worked for me last year. Sadly to say, I had to take the curler out and put on my kevlar Army helmet and hide in the hall closet about 30 minutes after that pic was taken. I can out of that closet looking like Tammy Faye Baker after one of her crying fits.
All the while my husband stood on the front porch watching to see if it was coming by our house. He is so stubborn!

Does that getup also work as a "Hurricane Deterrent?"

Well I dressed up to scare the tornados away last year. And it worked.


Tornados hate strong women in blue eye shadow. Hope it works again tonight!

I will have to remember this come spring time!! OMG too freaking funny.

on a serious note - stay safe!!

My niece and her family live in Cabot, AR. Seems like they get hit by alot of storms too.

See it is a small world. Cabot is 10 minutes from my house. I am hoping the worst has past us. We are staying up to make sure another front does not come in. Hate the thought of going to bed and another tornado comes in. Ugh. See my outfit works. bahahahaha

How did you do it!? 100! You are my hero!

Keeping up with 2 horses, my chickens and 6 goats, I feel frazzled sometimes.. Power to ya lady! WOW!

I kept them in smaller groups so I didn't get mobbed at feeding time. But yeah, it was a full time job and the feed bills were killing me so I cut back to 13. Now I have a million chickens.

Stay safe everybody. We didn't have school Friday because of snow. Now I'm wondering about tomorrow. We've had freezing rain all day and we are supposed to get snow on top of it tonight. The roads were like ice skating rinks when I came home a couple hours ago. Maybe we'll just have a 2 hour delay.

Hey Jim, I was wondering what you were doing with your eggs. I am not much liking the new auction system, you have to baby sit and close them yourself. Plus people are confused how to bid. But better than nothing. Still , I have a lot of eggs not selling.

 

[mrheinz77]

I don't like it either. I had a bunch pre-booked that I just finished sending out along with the swaps. I am all caught up so it is time to try the auctions again. My Blue/Black Ameraucana should be pure now. I have a black cockerel in with 2 splash pullets and a blue pullet. There is another blue pullet in the pen that isn't laying yet, an Olive Egger, and an EE (that lays white eggs but she is pretty so I want to hatch some from her). The Wellies are pure now too. I'm planning on showing my Wellies and Ameraucana so I need to hatch some of those myself.

 

[CapricornFarm]

Great, now the power is off and my incubators are full of eggs...hope it comes back on soon. I don't have enough broodies to hatch all of these! It is full on thunderstorm out there!

 

[groundpecker]

grab a boat battery and a 12v converter. I have a 3 x 110 AH batteries with a 1500w 12v converter setup for emergency outage in my hatch/brooder room.

No glasses to drive anywhere, plus it is awful out there. The heat lamps are out too... I am going to have to try to stay up , blast my phone battery is low!
I may end up with babies in the kitchen near the wood stove.
