There is going to be a chicken swap in your area (West Monroe) next weekend. You may want to attend. Some Louisiana BYC'ers will be there.

Incubating is not exciting to me like it is to others. I get more excited seeing a hen hatch her own babies. I was more excited at seeing my lone gosling hatch then I am to have 13 chicks hatch.

Oh well......... life goes on

Those are some gorgeous babies & congratulations! & not big deal if you dont' like 'bator hatching-- I never had a broody hen - main thing is, you get good, healthy pretty chicklets, no matter how!

Jeff - sent you a PM -- my life goes back to normal this coming week so if you don't make it to Alex, we can get the young roos to you (pullets too if you want any) -- No thanks on your "two for one deal" lol!!!

Well just got the call from (S)Lowe's that our new push mower is in -- so guess that means we'll get rain for the next several days. Now we once again have all the basic lawn mowing equipment up to par -- take your pic from the weed-eater to the Kubota tractor & every size in between!

Julie picked our first blackberries yesterday -- over some frozen vanilla yogurt, -- major YUM!!!!
