Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

[FarmerDenise]

Lori, that does sound excellent! I used to get wooden crates, they are marvelous. I still have three, two of them are at my house, that DD lives in. We just brought one of them here to make into a goat shelter until the goats outgrow it. All we have to do is reassemble it. The bolts are still at DD's and I keep forgetting about them

Somewhere in the beginnings of my poultry venture, I missed a very important memo. I imagine that memo must have been worded like this:

In the spirit of "the early bird gets the worm" it is a requirement that all poultry exhibitors and/or vendors and/or purchasers and/or browsers arise at the early hour of 3 am in order to make haste for 3:50 am departure, in hopes of a 4:50 am arrival."



So, we did, got up at 3, left before 4, arrived just before 5, and by 5:30 am we were feeding, watering, cleaning, etc.

I don't get up that early for my HOME chores. At home, the birds are lucky to see me by 7 am.

It's at this point I must interject that - I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON.

So, I've got coffee in me, hard boiled egg for breakfast, and I'm trying to curb the instinct to buy some birds......

The only thing I'm really planning to take home, is a trio of Coronation Split Sussex...............................................

Have fun at Mt. Hope today. Wish I could've gone Was thinking about sending some stuff, but didn't get it caught up.
Just read the post about the BLRW's. I love them wish I had more than just he one hen that I do have. I have been trying to get some, but really can't afford them and shouldn't buy anymore chickens without cleaning out quite abit.

but i might go and lay back down... ha ha ha ha ha"

I get on the "Summer Schedule" up at 5:30 - get busy. Nap at noon. Then up to cook dinner and evening chores. I even had the kids on the schedule when they were little. Back then we had nap mats set up in the basement family room so we could sleep where it was dark and cool after lunch.

What is this nap thing you talk about??

I hate mornings. I hate mornings more now that we have broody ducks that wake up at 5:00 wanting FOOD> NOW AND I MEAN NOW DARN IT. Then the rooster starts crowing and the goats start maaaahing and I have to shut them all up so the neighbors don't hate me. I also hate the owl that has shown up in the backyard to nights in a row so that I lie there worrying about the ducks that aren't in the house.....

Coronation Split Sussex-I'll have to look that up!
