Quote: oh! it's on my "View My BYC Page" link under my Profile picture! You did an awesome job on that dinner bell Hawkeye. Did you get it from here? Seems very inexpensive. I was expecting more. Did you use enamel paint on that? Edit for spelling. Blaming the heat on that.

Quote: Hey Chooks, I think it's called an angle drill driver attachment. You can find some fairly cheap, but I don't have one. I just go at it at an angle and hope for the best. You could, however, angle a pilot hole through the first board, place your screw and drive it in. I usually just...

Speaking of incubators ... I built another one, but a tad smaller. This one is really tight and keeps the heat in real well. It hardly waivers more than three-tenths of a degree. I use it as my hatcher. Here's a pic of the inside I went back and made some modifications to my first bator. I...

Ivywoods — I snapped some pics of your offspring this morning. They all are doing great and enjoy devouring watermelon. They all seem very docile and I can pick anyone of them up without too much squawking. My favorite is Brownie — the BPW. She just goes limp when I hold her. Keep in mind that...

Quote: Quote: Thank you for the compliments. Shucks, I don't think of myself as a master builder or anything. Just doin' what makes sense, but I love building things — always have. Ivywoods, sorry to hear that poultry barn is on hold. I know how excited you were talking about it. Your plans...

I went out this evening and found a bunch of these in my front yard — B L A C K B E R R I E S The DW and I picked nearly 3 1/2 gallons so far. There must be another 2 more gallons left to pick. This is the third season since I planted them. They are taking over the yard — ACK. That rain...

Quote: First of all LN2008! Sharol has pointed you in the right direction. I would suggest to keep it simple to begin with as some of the coops posted on this site are very elaborate. Post question here and I'll try to answer them and give you some direction as best I can. And remember to...

Quote: Sounds like a quaint little rural PO. I just adore the old-fashion appeal. Our Troy office was remolded about 20 or so years ago and my grandma bought one of those old post-office boxes. They're so ornate. That gate you describe must of been placed there in the 20s. I love to see it...

Quote: Hey Hawkeye — Been following this thread for some time now and I just want to chime in on the postal thing. My wife is a rural route carrier in Smithville, Mo. and has been delivering for about 14 years now. I've been to her post office (and even helped her deliver mail) and it's air...

Quote: I'm so glad you asked Ivywoods! Just look at this Golden Lakenvelder egg. Every single one you gave me looks like this! I candled Saturday and I could actually see movement in a few. I had a feeling all of these were going to be viable fertile eggs. The BCM eggs were a bit of a...

Quote: Keep the faith Susie! I'm pulling for you! I have to tell you about coming home with the eggs last Saturday. My twin daughter Alex (who was with me) was texting her twin, Nicki, about all the cool stuff she saw at your place. She then texted her about your double-yellow head parrot...

Quote: Holy Cow Susie. That'll feed an army. Nice snag. My grandpa would filet a mess of cats and fry them up around the 4th. That was good eating!

Quote: Holy cow! What a good deal! ... Er, should I say steal! WTG Ivy!

Quote: Oh my Susan. I think you're in deep. Where are you finding these great deals? Good luck on your new bator(s). I've been working on mine today. Have to stop now, cause I must go to work. I'm still waiting on that dang egg turner. eBay takes so long sometime! You wouldn't happen to...

Quote: Ahhhhh! Sorry about the loss Ozawakie. I also have teens in my brood. They are 17 and 16. I use to have to remind my twins constantly if they did the job I assigned them. I think their minds must still be developing, because they often get sidetracked with FB, texting or MTV. Now...

I did a quick Google and found some here. It's through Amazon. It doesn't seem too bad on price for a 50-pound bag, but I bet the shipping cost would smack you hard in the pockets.

You will never be able to overcome the power of fuzzy butts again! OzawkieBantams — I think I've developed a new addiction. While on the subject of mites, have you tried using food grade diatomaceous earth? I've read a lot about the overall good effects on keeping down flies and other...

Gettings lillie2202!

I went to TSC yesterday before I went to work. I thought I'd pick up a couple of things for my coop and such. The first thing I heard when I passed through the doors were loud chirping noises. I felt my palms getting sweaty and my eyes began darting back and forth like a man obsessed seeking...

GREETINGS amenning! Welcome to the flock. I'm a new bird too. Looking forward to your contributions. There's a wealth of information here!
