Doug I read about your Chickens, and how your thinking about MAYBE getting some more Chickens ??? Maybe you need to build a Chicken coup ??? or maybe not. If I could I would love to have Chickens, all different kinds of chickens. The feed store by us (our middle son raised sheep in Agriculture in High school, Jalopy was her name, she won first place at the county fair, for her wool. We went to the Feed store a lot, and they always had all these different kinds of chickens, I love those chickens and more than once wished I could buy them and bring them home.) We aren't allowed to raise poultry on our property, or I would have raised chickens in a minute if i could !!! Anyway, back to a chicken coup, I saw this chicken coup on TV, they tried to make it so animals couldn't dig under the coup, and with chicken wire walls, and they planted climbing roses to go up the side of the chicken wire, looked pretty, and also the thorns on the roses protected the chickens to some extent . Just a thought !!! maybe to much work ??? Sully in Sunny California In a message dated 1/9/2014 4:32:16 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, ddcrim@gmail.com writes: Not much happening on the home front... We're finally thawing out.. This morning it's a balmy 52 degrees and I'm loving it. The rocks I raked last week are still in piles and maybe today I can get them picked up and hauled off. Have I mentioned how much I detest rocks? The chicken-killing possum has been dispatched and the trap has been sitting baited and idle, so hopefully that problem is resolved. Have I mentioned how much I detest chicken-killing possums? Now I have to make a decision as to whether to replace the dead chickens. They are a minor pain in the ass but I've grown accustomed to having chickens around. Don't need the eggs, but Sherry loved her chickens. Have I mentioned how much I detest making decisions? That about covers it for me this morning. How 'bout you? The Dougster :-)* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "an-internet-family" group.
