Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[FirewifeJess]

Not caught up, did not have it in me tonight to read through everything. We got up at 5 and left the house at 6 to head to Ashford to pick up DS's little pony. We were trying to get him home and in the stall before DS woke up. We missed, but it was a fun attempt. They had snow down there and it was coming down steadily as we got the trailer loaded with the pony and his tack. We got back just before 9 and got him settled before he came down to the barn. Logan brushed him about 5 times today and can clean his front hooves all by himself. This is the best pony I have ever met.
Here is the hoof cleaning, his feet should be turned away from the horse, but I didn't correct him, as he was so excited that he could do it. We will work on that tomorrow.

Also, in looking over the youngest chicks today, I am 85% sure that one of my white leghorns is also a cockeral. I do NOT need two Leghorn roosters. So,
DH said that he would butcher it.



FWJ ~ the cakes that you made looked wonderful!! Your little guy is cute with his mohawk! I let my boys do the Faux-hawk, but my older son doesn't ever style his hair, so it just looks like a regular haircut. He is not allowed to have a mohawk at school, it is on the disruptive list in the dress code.

What a great pony!!! Your DS looks to be in love

That's pretty awesome!

Thanks about the cakes, the kids did love them We shaved off the hawks tonight...no way will I allow my little ones into God's house tomorrow looking like little heathens

I've been drooling over some of (most of) the chickens on Greenfire. Wish I was rich.

No kidding, but if we can wait a year or two, prices come down.

uh-huh. I just wanted 3. Within 4 months I had 8. I should have started with 8 to begin with! How many are you allowed to have where you live?

if our property is 35,000sf(0.8 acre) or less then 4 if 35,001 sf then 20. i think we are on 0.25 acre so i can have 4.... im in federal way

IF he has attacked especially IF it was a child there is no better time for freezer camp than RIGHT NOW. There is only one good place for mean chickenz. FREEZER CAMP !!! there are too many nice chickens to allow mean ones to waste precious oxygen!!!!

freezer camp??

 

[bikerchicky]

Probably in 2 months - or so.

Less?

OK, I will figure something out for the time being. I would love for you to stop by and give me advice/help/assistance with my setup.

For the newer members: hallerlake and I have been friends for... wow, how long, lots more than ten years, anyway, and sometimes address each other in shorthand.

Also, on another posting board I frequent I am known as Confusa...

(And on another, Cronescaper).
We met on the aol garden boards about twenty years ago.

Must. Have. Self. Control!

Well today we had to go to town and I decided to drive the pick up. On the drive the pick up relayed to me that is DOES NOT want to go to Vancouver or Canby the following week. Soooo it looks like we will be taking Whitey. The bigger truck. Scary thing is......... too much space to haul lots of stuff home.

feel free to buy lovely ladies for the rest of us noobies too far North to make the auction

J.K.

wow, not looking at this site for a day and it just leaves you behind. The electric work has been done and the mill is back up. I lost a few of the day old meaties because of over crowding while the electric work was being done, but still have about two hundred doing great now. I also have about thirty asorted layer breeds and most of them need homes. if anyone is looking for some free straight run chicks let me know. I will list them for sale on cl Monday. there are some astralorp, some gray chicks with featherd feet, a rir, several rose comb anconas.
