Sorry for barging in so rarely. I just have been way too busy with running two businesses. But I wanted to let you know that Tractor Supply is coming to Wickenburg! That's right, my corner of the universe. Considering that I still have about 100 chickens, 14 alpacas, 8 horses... you can see why...

Quote: Meg! That is an unbelievably bright light at the horizon!

Quote: I have a cowboy rooster. Yesterday I was hanging around the area where I keep the little ones and I heard a tiny "jeeha!" After a while it repeated and I finally realized it was my Ancona . I was about crying it was so funny. Unfortunately he only attempted to peck my video camera when...

Quote: Thanks, Mahonri! I had a conversation with the breeder this morning and his experience is that Sulmtalers lay relatively late (7 months ). So now I have to install the camera again to find out who is producing the off-colored eggies. Maybe my Pyle Cubalaya? Still waiting on blue eggs as...

Quote: We got seasons! For the next 9 months it will be beautiful weather - then hot as heck for three - rinse & repeat NINE Months? Where do you get NINE from? You had to burst my bubble! I deliberately chose not to count months. 9 sounded sooo good!

Quote: Aw!!! That is supercool! I did not get a cake (I was at work and DH is allergic to the kitchen) but he was creative and I got a candle on an old cookie . I could not have eaten more anyway. They fill you up at the Hog Trough! So now counting the days until I am 27 .

Thanks, pastrymama, thanks Noel! I actually found a mysterious brownish little egg in my coop with white and blue egglayers. Guess who lives also there? The Sulmtalers!!! Could it be? they are 18 weeks... Unfortunately the roosters are still oblivious so Mahonri will have to wait for fertile...

Gallus and Meg: Thanks! *blush* Maybe I'll get my first blue egg (to the chickens: HINT, HINT, HINT!!!)

Quote: I'll stop by on the way home! I'd love to watch a ghost while enjoying a piece of delicious cinnamon raisin bread (actually, I can't make it. It's my birthday and I'm going to the hog trough for some nourishment ) (And just for the nosy people, I am somewhere between 20 and 80 - but...

Quote: 35 farenheight? i don't even know what 35 degrees celcius is. maybe i need to go back to school, or not. but i turned my heat on when it hit 70 farenheight in my house. course, i wear pants in the summer. i chill easily So far I've had both heat pumps turned completely off since the...

Quote: 35!? in the house? What was it outside? (Just a rhetorical question, this already qualifies as way too cold and measurements are not necessary.) 35 degrees FAHRENHEIT IN the house!!! I believe it was 33 outside...wasn't as concerned about that since I was inside & wishing it was...

Quote: Gallo, did those come in with the bran? Do they (including all parts and developmental stages) survive freezing for 24 hours? (I was just getting ready to add more bran to my colony and discovered bugs in my bran )

Quote: It's dang cold here, so mine are all sleeping now...since I keep them out in the barn. I think it's finally time to turn the heat on - it was 35 in my house yesterday morning @ 6:30. 35 farenheight? i don't even know what 35 degrees celcius is. maybe i need to go back to school, or...

Quote: The standard answer is 14 days. That's what I use for eggs I sell. I start personal consumption and feeding to the dogs after one week. I have even read about members that don't wait at all. I think that's ok as long as you consume yourself and don't risk feeding eggs to somebody that...

Quote: Will have to try that. Worries me that I do not get it down the right place. I sure do understand "the look". yup, some of my hens are easier than others. i have never done the buttercups or the younger set of ameraucanas and they are WILD! i caught a buttercup the other day and was...

Quote: Can I borrow your 5 year old? Last time I did it by myself. Get chickie, wrap in towel, talk to her and then grab wattles with one hand and squirt with the other! It is almost like wrestling a child who needs eye ointment/drops. Mama, I stick the chickens and roosters one by one under...

Quote: My cat (mutt) has an eating disorder as well. He is addicted to bread, eats potatoes, pizza crust, pasta, squash, radishes, beets, broccoli... basically anything that I set aside for the chickens and he can get his paws on

Quote: Good grief! Sounds like you are using up a years worth of troubles in one morning. it can only get BETTER now . ( And thank your hero for NOT letting you drive the doughnut to Tucson).

Quote: Yeah, I think it would be a pretty straightforward procedure. I have to get my hands on a suitable microscope first, but as soon as I do, I'll make a new page or at least update the old one. Maybe I'll look around today; I saw one on CL a few weeks ago, maybe it's still there. (and...
