Re: [CHICKENS-101] housing issue

I dug potatoes, sitting on the ground with gloved hands at my parents. Then put the bacteria gunk on the broccoli and cabbage; the bacteria that kills cabbage lopers and other caterpillars that like cabbage too. While I dug potatoes, I reached over on the other side of me and weeded carrots. Then when I was done I unloaded a truck load of dirty bedding all by myself. (had it loaded into the truck in barrels and trash cans back when I paid a family to clean my barn, this was the last load) Tomorrow I wash and sort potatoes, dry them in my feed room with a fan running in the wagon that has a screen like bottom and sides. I'll feed, gather treats from the garden via gas powered wheel barrow, wash water dishes and water. Then I'll take the potatoes back to my parents and pick apples on my way there. I am going to beg the man to let me take my truck across the yard to the trees. Then I can pick into little buckets and fill the larger buckets with out lugging them. When I am done I will come home, shower, tuck my birds into their beds/barns, and get ready for another week of school.

Shannon, Yahoo this morning is missing the reply buttons at the top, to add to all of the other headaches their format has caused! It is close to the same in Michigan except you need to be on some kind of hand out to get their vote. They are determined to squish flat everyone who is working and leave them dirt poor with no benefits left.
I've lucked out, the people who bought the home with the apple orchard on the way to my parents have been letting me pick their un sprayed apples. I've picked thru carefully picking apples good enough to eat out of hand, and carrying them in little buckets to the truck, to fill up my larger buckets. (Will I ever get strong enough to be able to do something with out a hundred extra steps?) I am hoping today they will let me pull my truck up and fill it full of perfectly good huge apples on the ground that only have a bruise on them. I'll make apple sauce for me and the rest will go to my silkies.
