Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[tiki244]

I just checked the radar picture.. the rain coming is moving slowly, so we in it's path should get a good soaking.. It is just at chippewa falls now.. someone from cheeseheads is near there, right ?



Tiki, 250" with your doors open,,, no wonder it is so hot outside..
It IS a sad thing when the mind goes..

.............jiminwisc...........

Yup I was cleaning my coop out and the big very dark clouds came blowing in fast! Half the ski was black and half was white for a while. The rain came fast and mildly hard and lasted about 20 minutes. It was nice except some of my chickens got caught in it. I found three that looked like drowned rats but they made it. One silkie had a plastic hose holder box blow on top of her. Lucky I found her when I did because she was fairly flattened out. She is ok today. I went to Kwik Trip and bought eggs to make for the chickens to get over the trauma of the storm.


Yup

Tizzle those are some very cute chicks. I love the Ameraucanas with there fluffy cheeks.

YIKES ChickenScratch that is scary!!!!!

..and since I CRS back to look up the rest of the stuff I wanted to post on.

suki'smom Welcome to the cheesethread!

I thought you got a new

horse too DrHa. Was just thinking this could be a horse thread almost as much as a chicken thread.

The horse masks are very interesting BBP. It doesn't appear that they can see though!? Pretty mare!

Amy it must be fun watching the ducks. I love ducks

but won't get any till I move elsewhere.

I would really like to see a picture of the chicken's eye Dan.

Is the Northern Lights display tonight or did I miss it?

Bl4 sounds like you had a wonderful day . I would be sleeping right about now with all that fresh air and activity. Will expect lots of pretty pictures with that new camera of yours.

Just taking a breather from jam making. Made some peach jam. Hope it turns out ok...I think I'll get some more blueberries and make another batch of that. Was talking to the fellow Albionites and the dump and eveyone who has gardens are starting to rip out some of the plants. Just not doing well!
I have a Pineapple Tomato (heirloom) and It look ripe-ish. I think I'll pick it and save the seeds. I'll give it to the end of this week for the rest of the tomatoes and then pull them out. They just are not looking good.

Welcom Sukismom! People are really wonderful here! I rather adore them all....even BigFam....She is like the annoying younger sister we all have.....or would have if we had any sisters.... because some of us only have brothers....

DrH-I also choked on your Appaloosa comment ....then I read further! LOL!!

Vicki-V&E's = vitamins and electrolytes. I hate spelling electrolytes because it's on of those words that I can't spell well. Heck I can't spell well to begin with! Ha! Anywho, I have a couple of types. Blue Ribbon Poultry V&E's in the huge multi dose pack. (Unless you have a gazillion chickens. Then it's a one dose thing!) and I have the Save a Chick single dose packets. (For when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to so math conversion from the huge pack!)
Miss Crabby McCrabberson will go back to normal in the "restroom" department when her brood breaks. You are nice to let her out to do her business. SG has no such niceness because she is sneaky, sly, and a pain in the hind end to break her brood.

thanks again MLH

for putting up with a newbie

I already have save-a-chick. Been putting a watered down version into my girls water whenever it gets too hot.

I went out and bought my own 'tractor' of a sort..... I picked up a new camera! A Canon T3i!!!! With an extra lens, batteries, and a whole buch of extra goodies!

I figure I am due.

OOOOooooOOOOOooooo!!!

I prefer Nikons, but still.

Whew-caught up again!! Home from a day of kayaking iwht the family-good times and nice sunburn out of it!!!

Terri O: your cake was beautiful! So I was confused by your crust comments-you use the cookies inthe food processor-do you or dont you add butter and sugar?

Twizz: Cute chicks!!!

BBP: Cute pics of the horses When is the mare due? Wht breed?

I will post pics of the ones I suspect are roos soon. Im so mad at myself I vowed to take pics every week of the chicks since there are 8 breeds. Would be a great comparision etc....I made it thru week 3 and that was it. They are 6 weeks now. The suspected roos are 10 week and 12 week old Lavendar Orpingtons and Mottled Lav Orp. My younger chicks are suppossedly all sexed pullets. However the SL Wyandotte is a lot bigger than the GL? Is that typical?

I will have any newbies on here know: I am smart, funny, and EXTREMELY witty. Anything that has been posted about me that is less favorable is pure jealousy. But I forgive those losers because I am sweet and forgiving as well.

And of course the Police showed up at the house again tonight..... I told the officer that I had spoken with his Sergeant on Thursday... and of course the information was not passed along (making me look like I am lying)... and we were headed out to the Dance when they showed up..... so I told the officer that I would call him back and the card he gave me has his name on it and his badge number but I did not hear his name on the answering machine so I left a message with the Sergeant letting him know I am following up but I have no idea where to leave my message..... ugh.... this should be the Quacks of Our Lives!

I think I'll sleep on it.

newbie!!!

TIki the pressure!!! I need to figure out how to put a watermark on my pics first.....

Amy, glad you like it, it was the one I spoke about on FB...... I don't have a bag for it right now so I did not take it with me to the zoo (he has to make up his mind which bag he is willing to part with...).

Ooooooohhhhh THUNDER!!!!!

and... the dog is under the bed.

Night all!

The police seriously have nothing better to do then harass people keeping a few "illegal" ducks?

Try Alamoon Watermark, it's a free download and fairly easy to use.

No flippin' kidding.
