Doc, I have No idea what the H3LL you are talking about. Couldn't of insulted me to bad. I'll have to go back and re read what you said or I said or maybe you got me mixed up with CC or Bigfam, They're always getting their noses bent out of shape !!!

Bee You Tea Full Morning Everyone! WELCOME Tom at Heart you'll get plenty of good advise here. CC's right chickens love to peck just a hole in your veggies then walk away. SNOTS! Trip was uneventful thankfully! Was great to talk to the DD on the ride. FT sorry if I touched a nerve with my teasing thought you could handle it. Wouldn't do it I didn't luv ya!

I'll try and back off but no promises. Won't be easy!

Apyl hope that duckie comes around but sounds pretty bad.

TO did you hear about 5 long beeps and see me wave around 3:30. The people in the car next to me just stared so I flipped them off. The kids thought it was funny. Had supper at Subway in Lake Mills on the way back thought about calling you but then thought better of it. Otonoh glad you made it through the winter! Gonna need some rain for morels, wish I had some here!

WCc glad your OK! You know how we worry. Plan on getting some heavy wire added to the bottom of the coop run today and get the garden fence torn out along with the posts. Plus a million other things. Firin up the barbie for steaks tonight.

Waistin daylight better get movin.

Nice morning all! Glad to hear everyone enjoying the weather!

Does anyone know Ghostrider65(real name Kim) lives up around Green Bay area? She comes through and post every once in awhile. She was interested in getting some Wellies from us and the last I heard from her was begining of March here. Hoping all is okay for her. Sent her a PM but don't have her actual email address.

Just went through again and replaced zip tie bands on the chicks, we moved all the bantam light brown leghorns into one group now- we lost our oldest rooster- we think he came off the roost wrong and broke his leg-nothing we could do for him as to fix it. So McNugget the oldest cockeral took over the group.

MLH- how is SG and baby? Any more hatch out?

Candled half the eggs in the bator and removed the only Ameraucana egg- clear after 12 days and the 2 hens aren't laying so DS(6) has nothing in the way of chicks this year

he asked if he can share DS(10)'s bantams. DD told him she would share her chickens with him too.

Back out to do some more chores- have a great day!

Guess what I got today !!!! Our first Goose egg !! They are a mixed breed but a nice pair none the less. I'm going to collect a few and hatch them out too !!!

Hello my name is Sandi an I'm a ..................................... Well you all know what I am !!!


Going to hatch out some ducks to as long as I'm at it.


Oh, I think I remember, Doc, do you think I got insulted by your hatching comment ??? Heck no, I admit I have a problem !!!! Well, more then one, that's the first step right? Admitting you have a problem ??

Oh and btw I loved the flippin them off gesture !!!

Ok, going outside for the day. Put the baby pigs outside last night with the big guy. They are cammping !!! LOL OMG did they love to root up the grass already !!!

Later guys

Game bird starter is good to feed. I feed to my chicks and they are fine on it. Costs the same as chick starter at the co op here. If you want to cut the protein for the chicks then just add a bit of something to cut it down a bit. I havent had problems with it. Good luck with the duckling. Do you think that Metzer farms is selling you bad ducks?

It seems so easy to raise chicks/ducks and then there is always that proverbial wrench that gets thrown in and something happens and it seems so mystifying. Good Luck. You poor thing. Best wishes.

What a great day! We added the 8 foot extension to the run and it was a lot of work, but we got almost all of it done. Need to shovel seem more dirt tomorrow and think about painting but it looks great.
Tomorrow we might move birds around then.
Feeling a sense of accomplishment

A good days work always feels good. When I went to Menards last fall I discovered barn paint is so much cheaper than regular paint. Woo Hoo!

I havent got too much done because of a back problem, but I am slowly moving around and doing little things. I am getting caught up on my reading. By the time I finish you guys will probably think, what the h8ll is she talking about. So 37 sec ago. LOL

I have decided to keep my hens as I want to keep the bio security thing in place for other people, but any one who has already inquired to me about them I am willing to offer you some hatching eggs for shipping costs. I think Amyable you might want some and Maybe BFForme? Just pm and let me know. The true Ameraucana blue wheatons won't be pure till mid April. but they are easy to sex at 10 weeks the boys look like little eagles and the girls are cream colored. Thanks

Back to reading and I better go lay down and put a heat pack on my back. Have a nice day everyone/.

 

[tiki244]

I was going to add to my last post but it wont let me edit it again. I am all for 4Hers~~~ so Hens and Roos~~~~ let me know If I can help get you some eggs for your DS. I have a cute chick pic , but I think I will save that for later.

 

[Bigfamily4me]

Important questions! Need answers! ASAP!

Where can I get a bunch of pine chips/litter? Does Menards carry that?

Where could I get some netting to put over the run? Menards? Farm and Fleet? What's it even called?

Hubby is going to Menards or Farm and Fleet in Baraboo TODAY. He is working on the coop and trying to get it good enough for big girls (and boy) to move in.


Btw... I have asked these questions before with no response... Hence the attention grabbing tone...

For netting over my run, I just use the tree netting for fruit trees. I bet somebody on here has come up with something better than that though.

 

[FrenchToast]

Ok Bigfam4me,

I'll come to your rescue, but you owe me !!! LOL

Anyway, Fleet Farm has the cheapest pine chips, Get it by the livestock, horse department. They have two kinds. One is 4.89 the other is 5.29 I believe or close to it.
If you buy it by the hamster/gerbil etc, or even at Walmart you will pay tons more.

You can put deer netting over the coop but I have to warn you it tears real easy. It will help deter but keep an eye on it.
I noticed on the package it has a warranty on it. I wish I would have kept my reciept.

If you want good netting you will have to order it from like Culter Pheasant supply and it ain't cheap.

Just in taking a break. Sweating my buns off. Not like that would be a bad thing.
I don't like it when it gets so hot so quick.

Later

ps Tiki that back problem must be catching, I didn't do much physically yesterday but being damp outside on damp ground, I could hardly move last night, well, you know you could hear it in my voice on the phone !! LOL

Important questions! Need answers! ASAP!

Where can I get a bunch of pine chips/litter? Does Menards carry that?
