oh mannn,,,now you ask her about "head count"?


vicki I have a small hopper feeder at each coop for oyster shell, I also add some to the layer crumbles no problem with shell thickness,,,get a thin shell occasionally (started doing this with the crumbles I now use, lower Ca than the mash I had been getting from the mill)

bought some corn at a farm today on my road trip,,,really nice ears of bi-colored but very little sweet,,,,plan on finding out if they switched varities or what they think made the difference this year

think I'll sautee some sweet red pepper, onions, garlic and add that corn for dinner,,,along with a nice thick smoked pork chop

the chickens loved the ends and cobs

also bought a Nutrena scratch block at FF,,,,seems like those would make great busy toys for in the coops this winter

Jim was thinkin about your Black B wine and the taste of BB brandy came to me. IDK. Bf4me I just knew you were going to make some comment about that. Think you need to be fixed. Quick! vic it was Dan I'm pretty much a newbie myself. A lot of great people here that's how I learned the most about chickens.

TO soak first DO NOT CUT ANY PART OF THE CUKE until your ready to pack the jars. Think maybe Derrick might be a little tired after his train ordeal, no fires please. Congrats Raim! Way to go! Bigz that's alcohol abuse ya know. 3 freezers huh? We have 2 and at the right time of the year their bursting. It's a terrible situation to be in. Donny told me the other day that the 4H steer was going in on the 7th of next month. Have to add arrange the freezers on the written list. Our egg production dropped from 5-7/day to 3-4 the last couple of days.

I asked L what she wanted for supper tonight she said scrambled eggs sounded good. I said ya it does especially with grn pepper, onion, bacon, and sausage mixed in with cheese on top. She said that's an omelet! I said no it's scrambled eggs with .......

Vic I counted the peppers on one plant and there are 17.

and that's not uncommon. I'll get a pic.

I was looking over our Fair Premium book, and I am wondering: what do the rest of you pay for entry fees and what are the money amounts for the prizes??? ( I am asking because I think our Fair is steep with the fees and cheap with the prizes.) I have never entered anything into our Fair due to the paltry prize amount.

Oh Sh!T Bigfam !!!! Good thing I just P'd or I would have right then and there when I read your post !!!! Your mind is in the gutter girl...... same place mine was when I was your age !!!!! So was Drha's too I think !!! Great minds do think alike !!!

Hey Jim, where is the wine shop in Wausau ???

Where'd you get the purple guinea eggs from? May have to get some... Next year though.
I just got 13 keets from the neighbor.... they hatched from the guineas I gave them last year. We were suppose to go and get the adults, they don't like them but we haven't yet....so she called yesterday and said there was a sh!t load of keets running around. Sounds like there were a bunch more then 13 but you know how guineas are. I told her not to feel bad about not catching the others. She did a better job then the mother would have at keeping them safe. Looks like I have white,lavender and lavender pieds. My other keets are dark and dark pieds I think. Will be swarming with guineas.... I love them !!

Ha ha ha! Head count! I thought that's what Doc was up to!

I guess I have to check that thread. I don't think it's too many though.

what a day !! Mom was at her worst.. could switch from chair to chair at the table in the blink of an eye, but was too weak to stand and walk just 5 minutes later.. then she "forgot" how to sit down.. then she "forgot" how to lay her head on her pillow.. If I ever get senile (er) I told my daughters to just shoot me.. just don't tell me you are doing it,, sneak up behind me and let me have it..

I have batch #4 of wine started.. It is really going strong.. funny how each batch is different..

I found a young Del roo dead in the run.. didn't look like a natural death, but no sign of a struggle like feathers laying around.. Annie said, set a trap.. I said, what am I trying to catch ?

I had chili and Corona Extra for supper.. peanuts for dessert.. I think that covers most of the food groups..

FT , the wine shop is next to Gullivar's Landing.. just at the south end of the new bridge on 17th ave.. You can take the NN exit off of 51/39 and go East to the end and turn left at the lake.. You can see it from there.. it is an old house turned into the shop.. she showed me a "***** mix" .. You mix this concoction with wine and make a slushy with it.. says it is good for using up "bad" wine.. costs about $10/gal.. she had different flavors..

Annie ordered a dozen Royal Purple guinea eggs from Stromburg's.. I think she paid $20 for them.. It took almost a month to get them.. I said, what the heII ? do they have only one hen?
I saved my 2 dozen eggs about an extra week so I could set them all at the same time.. I hope THAT wasn't a mistake..

I increased the brooder temp tonight.. it is a bit chilly out there..

My dessert (Corona) is gone .. time to get another..

Hey Jim... It would be funny to see you sign off from a different location and see if anyone notices...

"I set 1300 eggs, ripped apart a tank, drank a gallon of pawpaw cider, And kissed Annie good night. Yours Truly.... Jimintahiti..."

Do it do it do it do it do it! It'll be fun to see what locations you pick!
