Went and picked up my new quail today. Besides the drive, it was great. DD3 does not do so well in the car that long. She was great there, but complained the whole way home. Thank you so much FM for the hook up. They are sooo nice!. My I can't even get next to the cage with my spazes. These guys just let me hold them and sit there by the side of the cage when I'm there. They are just what I was looking for. They do however make my english whites look tiny. I'll have to make little hiding places for them when I put the big girls in. Thanks again and sorry we couldn't meet up. Maybe next time.
Great day outside today! What nice weather we are having. Hopefully it will last until next weekend for the second meet up. I'll be there as long as there is no rain. Who else is going? What time are we thinking of meeting up Terri? Anyone going to Beaver Dam this weekend? I don't have any room in my coop for newbies, but really want to go. We will see. Dr Ha- had to laugh at you little boots and caps. Maybe I'll make some coats for them this winter. Wouldn't that be something to see. I don't think I could do mittens though, not enough feather holes.

Ok take care everyone!

Afternoon to All....Yep, it's a shame you didn't stop by BL4...I'm only 5 minutes from the town hall. The neighbors have a stand by me with fresh huge cabbage for .75 per head. I think you were at the place visitors that don't know better go....kinda pricy for sure....I can take you where you cut your own for .50 a head.
Prolly gonna do the brussel sprouts tomorrow. The dill is saying let's get er done.
The flock is growing into each other a little more each day. They seem to be paring off in their own special groups during the free range part of the day. I raked up tarps of dry maple leaves today. I put one pile in each coop, one in the brahma pen and a couple on one of the gardens....prolly only have 50 more tarp loads to go....

Stay Safe.... ~ bigzio

Dang it BigZ, if I had only known..... I shelled out .19/lb for those suckers. Each one was around 2-3 bucks. Oh well, the DH will have his Kraut one way or another! You really are quite a haul out there! The trees sure are beautiful right now up there; we even had the pleasure of passing by an Amish farm on the way home on 110.

Oh well BL4, not that big of deal, although we never want to overpay for anything. You are welcome to stop by anytime, as well as anyone here. I'll give you a short tour of camp if you like. My closest neighbor to the east is amish...I give them all kinds of produce....maybe they will be able to help me out sometime? They grow alot too....not the vast variety I do though. Suzie's bread is for sure better, in my opinion. They seem to be normal neighbors to me. I suppose they have been here 10 years or so. I'm first name basis with them...just home made clothes and horses instead of cars. They have the finest guns in the woods by me.
Keep it Fun... ~ bigzio

Oh ya...Glad the Vikes Lost!

Good Morning Everyone! Looks like indian summer is over. But still not bad temps. I'm just glad to see the wind pick up to suck the water out of the ditch next to me. It's a dead end and doesn't have anywhere to drain. It's about 25' from the house and it seeps through the soil into the crawl space. Ran the sump pump all day yesterday and it came within 4" of shutting off but at the end the water was coming in as fast as it was pumping. fm like all of Depp's movies, haven't seen them all but he always picks the off the wall ones. Dead Man tops my list. I'm a bit on the weird side too ya know. Becky sounds like you have some really nice new arrivals! Need to see some pics! BL4 glad to hear your new job is working out! Going to do a final clean on the coop to get the chicks moved in today. Scraping the bedroom floor is taking a lot longer than expected have about 15 hours in on it for as many square feet. Maybe I'm being too picky. Bought a 4" heavy duty scraper like cd suggested has about the same results as my ice chisel. Muscles hurt and the bad shoulder is reminding me that it's messed up. Don't think there will be a lot of scraping today. Better get to it. Have a good one!

Beckyschicks...I'm so sad that I missed your call. Here I was waiting for you to call, and thought...she must not have had the time. I checked my messages today and got your message. You must have called at the same time my mom called yesterday, because your number never even showed up on caller ID. Just in the message. It must have gone right to voicemail, huh? That bites. I really wanted to show you my birds.

I wish this one had a really big pouty lip.

Well-if you are ever in the area, you know you are welcome to stop by. You should have just come down. I think Jaki told you how to get here. Well-next time.

I got 10 eggs so far today and still a few girls need to lay yet. I'm going to be up to my eyeballs before I know it.

Well my Phys therapist is some what happy with the fact I haven't lost range of motion (passive) I just can't lift my right arm much if at all, and it hurts..
Pain is getting to me.. more than it should so back to the primary on Friday. I have my "aspiration" tomorrow.. hubby gets a half day off cuz they said I need a driver...
Really?? I didn't need one the last time.. and I am sure it hurt more than what they will do tomorrow.
Gonna check the hens and chicks today, get pics of the new birds. My little cross beaked pullet.. isn't growing.. And I happened upon pics of the quail belgian d'anvar bantams..
and sent a PM to a member here who breeds them...
I might have a cross bred or a purebred.. the lady who I got her from thought she was an EE but she hasn't grown at all, and she thought she had gotten aracuanas...(sp?) and Light brahma's
from a hatchery.

Doin laundry, and gettin ready to fix a concrete step!!

Nice Day here today. We have the brussel sprouts done now. We grew 6 plants and ended up with 6.5 lbs after they were all cleaned...the yield was 12 pints and we are pleased with the harvest. I also picked another full Ice Ccream pail of broccoli for another big salad, that suzie will make tomorrow. I'm hunting in the morning and need to get into the woods for awhile.
Have a good tomorrow....and have fun too!... ~ bigzio
