@CrealCritter did something similar with cleaning out the barn/chicken area to use in the kiddie pools he started the asparagus seeds in ...

That's what I said.... HUH ??????

Chicken flavored ham?????

:fl:fl:fl:fl

Also, to get it drier, use a cheap utility type heater (milk house heaters we called them) ... stand the brooder on one end, face the inside and let the heater blow into it to dry it more... and I would do one more spray down with bleach water.... to get it a little damp but not really wet...

The only other suggestion I would have is to paint the whole inside of the brooder with a good enamel paint to seal it .... but obviously you cannot do it with having just washed it and needing it to use again. Agree something came in with the other chicks... I also would go with the medicated...

@tortoise ... some cows will take a calf grafted on them pretty well, some do not. I have pretty good luck with getting them to take them normally... but this cow had very little in the way of an udder... Unfortunately, she came in the barn the next day all swelled up in the vulva area, gave...

Our co-op has asparagus root crowns and they are pretty decent looking... $25 for 25 in a bunch... so I think that is reasonable... I might go on and get one bunch... Have to see what kind they are... would get a year ahead... and still do some seeds.

@R2elk.... we have also gotten frost here on Memorial day... I do not get in too big a rush to get garden in.... Easier for me to do most all of it at one time... try to do some of the "cool weather crops" earlier... but mostly do the major part of it all at once, then do some succession...

We have another 6 weeks before our last "frost date".... May 10th.... Thinking about maybe seed starting in another week or so....

Welcome from the western side of Va ... Yep, garden then chickens... then keep adding... :lol::gig:thumbsup:thumbsup

WE are NOT going to get to that point... we are going to die with dignity... probably run over by some crazy animal and stomped into the mud.... :hide:hide

My sympathies for you @frustratedearthmother .... it seems like there are a whole bunch SHTF things this week with several people I know. Lost a 600+ lb steer... that's over $1800 buried.... pulled a dead calf Sunday and cow is all swelled up and no milk so not going to try to graft a calf on...

Pulled a dead calf from a cow this afternoon... head and 1 leg out... 1 leg hung up... looks like it might have been dead a few days, smelly fluid expelled...not showing anything yesterday.... must have finally gone into labor... good cow, if we can't find a calf tomorrow to graft, she will get...

They ought to shoot whoever is in the truck if they find it occupied... NO QUESTIONS ASKED.... STOP ALL THIS .... I feel so bad for her, and her family...hope she did not live through the first few seconds, to not die in total terror but too quick to react and suffer the mental anguish. That...

Dry Shod are better boots than muck boots and will last longer. Still expensive... Yep, plastic grocery bags over the socks into boots... also makes it easier to get a shoe out of the old fashioned "galoshes" that you pull on over shoes... most dairyman use them over their workshoes when in the...

@Dreamz .... where have you been?????? Glad to see you post...

Welcome here on SS as well as BYH.... glad to see you taking advantage of the sister sites... some of us go back and forth on both... If you like rabbit, they are a great source of manure and soil improvement, as well as eating.... I am a "big baby" and cannot kill them myself... always wanted...

Did you find any fish wanting to become "pasture raised" instead of pond raised???? I can remember as a kid we had a pond that over flowed during some extreme rain and had several in the grass that us kids managed to catch and put back in the pond as it went down....

Liver and onions the last 2 nights... one more serving.... I LIKE liver and onions.... homemade lemon custard for desert.
