I guess that will come with practice. Next time, I will use something that smells good. I also made laundry soap, twice. I like it! Makes me feel like a homesteader, and self-reliant. A good feeling. Now on to dish soap, and dishwasher detergent! Good luck on your baby chicks. They're so cute!<br />~~LoriDirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-364919477255775942011-03-28T14:50:28.065-05:002011-03-28T14:50:28.065-05:00Erin, Oh, and it smells divine!

It is warm and heated as well as the lamp we have on them. Maybe I am just being overly concerned at this point?<br /><br />On the bright side, at least the hotel I will be at has high-speed. So while I may not be posting alot (cuz it's pretty boring out there), I will at least be able to keep up with you guys this time!!!

Set up your brooder light over the bigger box area for them until they are feathered out. Will it stay warm enough in the chicken house for them with this set up? That way it can be kind of a transition home for them before letting them loose in the chicken house.<br /><br />Don't go to work. You can't go. Just as Susan says, we're just getting back in the loop with you being here regularly. You will be missed a lot but, at the same time, you'll be back before we know it. Maybe it will even have stopped snowing by then.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-51667999401694660482011-03-28T13:30:17.679-05:002011-03-28T13:30:17.679-05:00Jane, I will certainly take you up on that!!

And, heck, do you have to go? Just when we were relaxing and enjoying your great posts! Well, hurry back! I'd be interested in all of your soapmaking efforts. Although it's on my list, it's at the end. I have to retire first, before I can work through my lists.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-10032547437380883332011-03-28T10:24:47.561-05:002011-03-28T10:24:47.561-05:00Boo Hiss is right!

I have all the ingredients to make soap, I have been putting it off for a year telling myself I don't have time, etc... I just need a good book about it and to stop making excuses. Let's challenge ourselves to get a batch done before summer's end! We'll miss you when you're out making the big bucks, glad you like everyone in your group, that makes it much easier I'm sure.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
