Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Hey All,
Lurking mostly as i still don't feel 100 percent.. not the stomach.. mostly its the bowels... I know you REALLY did NOT want to know that...
bleh...
I was on my way to farm and fleet to see about a pair of horse hoof nippers.. and got a call from a friend, 'hey where are you?' Me- "on the beltline (in Madison). Why?'
'Let me buy you lunch.'.... yada yada yada.. some place up near the capital. I'm driving my "farm" truck, so up to the capitol I go, find a parking garage, whilst talking to
my friend about his dog who has kennel cough... find a place to park, then off to find this pub/tavern/bar n grill...
He actually had a buy one get one free meal so bought me lunch, I am thinking in the back of my head that he must want something.. like help moving.. since I have a truck and a trailer...
We would have sat inside., but there was not 1 screaming baby.. but 2 screaming babies (at the same table)... not once did mumsie or dadsie try to curb le- crying....pacifier, juice... walk... holding le-baby... no no.. lets let the kid SCREAM for over half an hour to forty minutes....
There is a comedy talk show on the radio and the hostess usually flies what she refers to as "Screaming Baby Airlines" they often repeat the bit of the pilot to the passengers.
"Thank you for flying screaming baby airline, if you don't have a screaming baby, one will be provided for you for the flight. In case of an emergency, a screaming baby will come from the ceiling for you." ...
It felt like that at this pub/tavern...between that and the OMG's "did you see what WHATSER FACE was wearing..." group of young lack wits who had to pay for their meal with change grubbed from their very expensive clutch/coin purse/wallets...They then proceeded to LOUNGE in and on the chairs... one young lady was curled up in her bistro chair, blocking the already too tight walk way, ignoring what was going on around her so she could check her Face Book updates... They were still there when we left... an hour or so later...
The highlight was a fellow across the road doing a good rendition of Dark Side of the Moon while playing a guitar, and a pair of odd beans, one wearing a wedding dress, riding a bike built for two sort of contraption, on their way TOO a rally at the Capitol... I think I saw lobbyists, young democrats and republicans, probably a senator or two, and hordes of school kids being dragged from point A to point B by chaparones and parents.

So I get to my truck and it doesn't want to start... yes I know its usually the VAN.. that does that... BUT I knew what the problem was, or usually is...
I have a push button start, and one wire gets a tiny amount of corrosion on it, I need to strip off a bit, re-put it through this thingy on the push button... push in a pin on the steering column and POOF.. it starts... bad part, all I had on me was a set of vice grips, but they worked.

Anyhoo, I will try to be back on later.. if my bowels will let me... shhhhh... don't tell them I was on here... they are kinda weird at the moment.. but then again.. so am I.
 
MLH-Thank you so much for the responses!!! I am not sure if Sprout is the same as Agrimaster-but it sounds like your saying that is what FF carries....My hens seem to be doing great with Sprout and egg production is pretty awesome (of 9 layings hens without babies, I am getting 6/8 eggs alternating days. I believe my bantys are laying every other day. However, I like the idea of feeding something a little more healthy. What does "open" vrs "closed" formula mean? Sprout is 12.50 for 50 lbs and Nutrena is 12.50 for 40 lbs. I also am wondering if there is anyway to get bulk feed? I prefer using pellets. When raising exotic brids I switched to pellets as well. With each bite they get full nutrition rather than picking out the "candy" seed.

I spoke with the USPS this morning and they said they will call me before 7 am when the chicks arrive. I am glad to hear mostly successful shipping! I am so excited to get these lil ones. I currently have 2 six week olds (EE and LO) and 3 three week olds 2 LO and one either Mottled LO or LO mix. The sexed newbies are: Sussex, Lt Brahma, GL & SL Wyndottes, EE, Salmon Faverolle, and 2 banty cochins-(Frizzle and mottled) so quite the mixture :) I hope I sleep tonight
 
Oh and I forgot to put this up last night, checked it today, still seems to be good.

I have about 15 mostly Marans with a couple of Lavender Orpingtons chicks, just hatched last 3 days, available. As with Blue chicken genetics some of the chicks will be Splash colored. The two breeds are penned and raised seperately so no cross breds. First come first serve. All must go together. Straight run $5.00 each.

I just took a 1 gallon sweat tea jug and cut a hole in it big enough for Shifu to get her head in . Sure she dribbles right in front of the container but before she was soaking the entire brooder before the day was up.


Is that really a stuffed ducky for your ducky??????????

Sorry. I thought I was the only one that bad

Hi everyone
frow.gif
I'm back, did you miss me?
Had to take off early this morning. First, #108 @ 8:45!!!!! (voter @ the Elcho polls, that is, DH was #107

)
Then it was roadtrip time to Wittenberg for their bacon sale to stock us up for the summer (I love the ice cold buttermilk they always have in the crock for customers to enjoy and hubby goes straight for the barrel of Sprecher's rootbeer
big_smile.png
) and pick up a "care package" for my daughter and family coming to visit in July. They live in Illinois now (I know, poor things) but my #2 son (aka son-in-law) is a sheriff in Rockford & my daughter has her dance store in Roscoe. Anyway, they would not forgive me if I didn't have him some bacon (they can't get it down there) and my daughter put in some serious hints for Nueske hotdogs. It's actually bribery because if they want it, they have bring my granddaughters up here to get it!

Gave my "girls" their first taste of yogurt yesterday and it was hilarious! I had a small tub of greek yogurt that hit it's expire date and tho it was still ok, I probably wouldn't have gotten to it so I decided to give it to them. I didn't know chickens could make such faces!
lau.gif
After a lot tasting, wiping beaks on the ground, tasting again, they all decided this was pretty good stuff and dove in ! It was sticky so they would literally tilt their heads back and smack their beaks then go back for more!

Oh Geeeshhhh! Just looked outside and it is raining only on the west side of the house! Good for the grass, BUT all the gardens are
on the east side!

Ok, so, the best I have been able to find out is the Wave swap meet is Father's Day weekend (Father's Day being on the 17th) However! I am still trying to get absolute verification, waiting for someone to return my phone call but since it is always tied to Father's Day I am pretty comfortable with my facts.

What that means is that they are not all pure lavenders. Lavender to Lavender will give you all Lavender. If he is getting splash then some of his birds must be blues. Just sayin. This is the guy I think I got some eggs from. The didn't hatch well !!!

lol Yep lol I felt bad that she was the only one to hatch. Its been in the brooder with her since day 1, she use to cuddle with it.


Carol - eekk sorry to hear your still not feeling good and the truck trouble on top of it

Angiebubs --- I'm crossing my fingers my chicks come tomorrow. My replacements from Meyer are coming. 2 Golden Lakenvelders females, 1 Silver Lakenvelder female, and 1 White Cochin male ( hopefully male this time , my last one turned out female though I ordered male).
