This happened to one of my chickens last month when I was out of town (of course) - luckily I was visiting my family in Minnesota and they directed me to this web site so I could tell my kids (and husband) how to help: http://www.brittonclouse.com/c…
Also, since the sulcata is from the Sahara Desert - our summer heat will not bother them (they will need shady areas or a cool burrow to hang out in during the hottest part of the day) but the heat is hard on the chickens and in the winter here, chi…

- Michele - I did meet John and I am personally talking there August 1st. He doesn't think the PPG could as they must be FREE classes - but I am personally happy to help fit his need of presenters! Thanks for the lead.

Don Titmus said… - Hello Michele,
Checking in to see when you will be able to make a payment to the PPG for the Permaculture Design Course. The discount deadline is the 31st and it is also a cut off point for the course happening.
We (the PPG) have kept the course fees really low for many reasons community being one of them but we have to have 10 paid students to make the course work (Pay expenses). So i'm asking you and all the others that have RSVP to let us know where you are in the process. And To pay as soon as possible
Many Thanks, Don Titmus
