I used to get $2 last year. I've been getting $2.50 lately around here, and $3 from the FIBs. Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I was wondering how long it would take for one of you guys to see my ad.

That ad for free horses really makes me mad. If they need to downsize their herd why don't they get rid of the healthy ones that would be easier to find homes for and keep the special needs ones. Bottom line is, they don't want them, to much trouble and expense to keep them. I can guarantee once they are gone they will bring home some more and as soon as they discover any other problem animals they will be on CL too. You see the same thing with older horses. Horses that taught their children and grandchildren how to ride. Babysat all the neighbor kids along with it. But as soon as it can not be used it is disposed of like Sh!t in a Muck bucket !!! G@d I hate people sometimes !!!


No, Emu's nose's are to big !!!

Wow, I just did a spell check and I didn't have any misspelled words. Patting myself on the kcab right now !!!

I agree on the horse subject. How can people take a 20 yr old horse and sell it because the kids are in college and "thank goodness, now I can sell the horse". ts ridiculous. Or the kid has moved on to faster, younger horses. This isn't a car or a bike. When I make a commitment to an animal its life long. Unless there is a legitimate reason they can no longer be with me.

I had a 3/4 cochin 1/4 silkie chick hatch tonight. Its a splash. I was hoping it was pure cochin, but the extra toes tell a different story. I hope the others hatch soon so it stops peeping! I may shove it under the broody hen tonight if it doesn't quiet down.

I have seen those same ads for horses...... I agree with you that you keep an animal for life; it is not like a car that you trade in for a better model.

Snow forecast for the Southern half of the state...... and another whammy possibly on Sunday.

I had the guys at work ask me if I kept a cow in my backyard........ right.... in town in the postage stamp backyard.

This discussion was brought about because of the CDC article about Raw Milk causing more cases of food poisoning than any other food (something like that). UGH.

My MIL sold eggs from her house for 20+ years and never worried about getting sued.... she charged $1.75. The girl I was buying eggs from charged me $2. They charge $4.50 by my cousin (which I think is robbery) Just my 2cents.

Jim, I thought IMI meant I Mean It.

I agree with ya FT, there was an ad on the Madison one, a lady was selling an Appy for 500, that 2 weeks prior she got for FREE from a lady, that she promised to give it a good home to.
Then poof... selling it, nothing wrong with it, just a person wanting to make a buck.
The original owner saw the ad, and posted another asking for the horse back, willing to take it back, but unlikely to get him back due to the bad person.

Where as I am the opposite, I paid for a hen, that it turns out would go great with a young rooster that I had the parents of, I grew him up, and realized what a spectacular specimen he was, and there was an ad on the CL, that it turns out was from a lady I had sold to in the past...
She was looking for some specific types of chickens,.... and I had loads of those... LOL
I loaded her up with the polish I got for free from some one moving, the ameracauna and a cross bred hen I got for free from a fellow in the CL, the silkies I got from a lady nearby, KristiP has the others. I lent her the other 2 that KingDr gave me, and the welsummer that I got from HnR (she has a welsummer roo), a dominique/EE cross I got from a wonderful lady in Stoughton (KristiP and TO have 2 hens each I am QTing for them). I gave her the hen to go with the roo as they will make a great pair. I will get some hatching eggs, or chicks from the crossing in a few months.

But I gave her a lot of chickens I have cared for, and a few I paid some money for, she doesn't resell them, she sells the offspring.
knowing she will give them great homes, and that they will be appreciated and there will be lots more OF them in the future, makes it worth while to give them away.
Besides.. I am getting 2 more from the lady in Stoughton, either 2 delawares, or a delaware and another breed.
PLUS I am putting in my order to Chets feed and seed to get 15 Jaerhon chicks , (IF anyone is interested in another breed, PM/call/or email me and I can put in what you
want with my order) I can then go up and get them and house them till we meet or till the chickenstock. You can order just one, he will order you that 1 and simply sell the rest at
the store.

I wanted to share my friend's blog from our misadventure from this last weekend http://desonbowenford.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/




OK I want to share this with a RANT...
How can you call yourself a rescue if you threaten to put a dog down IF he doesn't find a home/??
