From the Wega area! See you at the meet! And no you are NOT crazy; I am on this board and I do not even HAVE chickens... how nutso is that!!!

What a cool science project! I love to bring different colored eggs to 'show off' to people who think chickens only lay brown and white eggs....

I think I need to change my siggy to 'FM Surrogate"....

Wow that must be a fancy swap, lol
Not used to the luxury of being inside, well I will only bring in some of the standard cochins at a time than, too very big to lug around that many in a building.

Silkies fit anywhere thank goodness!

you need to have your own cages in fon du lac, just so you now

 

[PremierSilkies]

Well I am used to outside drive up swaps, so having my own cages is a given.
They are wire cages and work better for people to see the stock than a crate.
Extra standards can be in crates in the truck.
Any tiny tots I will have on hand warmers in a box.

Thanks for the heads up.

Then....OMG......What a day. I had a power outage today.

Totally freaked! Bator temp dropped. It lasted about 2 hours or so. I got my bator to a friend's house about 2 miles from me within 30 minutes. The temp was at 87* at the lowest so we should be fine. But HOLY COW! What a scare! Bator back home. Thanks for the quick thinking of Buck Creek Chickens and Babylady4. I think I need to crash and burn.

H&R I'm jealous! It is perfect weather for making syrup. Warm during the day and freezing at night. Gets the sap flowing. I remember when I was a kid my uncle used a 55 gal drum cut in half. We spent a good part of the night up in the woods of SW Wi. boiling it down. I slept by the fire and when I got cold drank partially cooked syrup for warmth. Now you've given me another project to do. I could tap some trees around me. That's going to take some research first. forndmommy that was a close one!

So what is all this hoopla about Muscovies? I just looked at the article but dont have time to read it right now. I have a breeding group of them and was wondering why nobody was selling any. Good think I sell mine for meat--when I can find buyers that is...I better talk to my neighbor after I read that article. Off to work--
