Glad you are enjoying the birds, they seem very happy! I just set a couple more Buff eggs for the folks I emailed you about. I also set 2 duck eggs. It will be fun having baby ducks.

The judges know the are in the process of being approved and cannot reject them as competition. Jacob Bates thought they were all nice looking birds. Good to hear commnts from the judges. Same should be true in MC., got a whole crop of new judges for that show! It will be fun and the should...

Received my premium check today from the State Fair and to my surprise, I did have the Champion and Reserve in the light duck category! It just is not a class they give an award for or someone made a mistake? Happy anyway! So Kari, you and I should hold our heads high this year! Woo Hoo!!!!

Very happy to have found them such a good home. I know you will fall in love with those Buff Brahma pullets. They are little sweethearts even though a bit tough to rodeo in a long pen! And if you ever want to have some of your own chicks, I can rent you a roo for a weekend!

Don't forget Iowans, we got the Clay County Fair coming up September 6th to the 12th. Then the Mason City double poultry show the 20th and 21st of Sept.

Mike, you gotta remind me when the fair is each year! I'd love to be able to compete down there or is it open class just for Jrs.?

In November, Webster City will be hosting a poultry show and that might be a good time to pick up some birds close to home.

I looking too, for bantams. Some in IL but want to see them in person.

Sorry to hear that. But yes, if you're gonna go, go out running!

Nice article about urban chickening in the Des Moines Register today. Basic, but nice to see as the headline!

Emily, how are you recovering?

Just finished washing the show birds. Got a late start cause I rammed my little toe into the foot of the sofa yesterday AM. It's only been there 5 years and this is the first time! The bruise goes about 3" up my foot. Hope it's not broken! The birds are drying in front of a heater. I have...

Anyone planning to attend the poultry show in Avoca, IA? It's Mothers Day weekend. I will be there.

17 out of 20 hatched. 2 of the late hatchers seem to have leg problems and will most likely be culled. The next hatch will be pheasants and maybe some more of my eggs. Not sure when the teacher will be getting those eggs, he wants a hatch before the end of school. Three of the kindergarten...

Yes, they moved the camera from hatcher to brooder. It is the current date and time. 2011 must be when the account was set up. You should see, in the brooder, a brown chick (Barnevelder) a couple of yellow chicks (Delaware) and some silvery/white chicks (blue splash Orpington) and the striped...

The FFA class is hatching my chicks! Live webcam at the addy below if it works...... http://www.ustream.tv/search?q=okoboji+ffa

No, you're not crazy! lol At least no more insane than the rest of us! Your girls should travel fine in a large dog crate, or even in a couple of boxes, as long as they have ventilation, some feed and drink now and then. The weather is finally breaking toward warmer temps, the overnight lows...

So, any comments on the Waverly (not Waverly) exotic swap and sale? It was a nice day here, hope it was there as well.

Ottobjumper, is Emily ....she lives in manly and may be able to help you out. She posts on the Iowa Blue thread and has a website you can link to. Super nice people! Website: rosewoodacres.weebly.com

I would recommend putting them in the garage with a heatlamp. If it's a sunny day, get them by a window so the sun can shine on them, they love it! And you can turn the light off for awhile. As-long-as your garage is protected from constant drafts, they will be happy, harden and thrive! Make...
