OK have to go get ready for my MIL's 88th birthday party!


How do to you too Terri, quite a bit of contrast to where you just left from huh?  LOL Slushy stuff yuck, the only slushy anything I like comes from Sonic or the ICEE machine on a HOT day too!

 

Have a joyous trip, and keep warm as possible too. BRRR (shuddders), gives me goose bumps even thinking about freezing rain LOL

There's a whole world of differences between propagators and breeders. My goal is to propagate breeders towards the Standard of Perfection.
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, you can make a purse out of it, but it won't be silk. LOL
 
Maybe in about another 30-40 years I'll get this "being an expert" thing figured out by then. LOL

It's not brand new but it was not $700.00 either. I picked it up for 250.00 today from someone getting out of the hobby. I had my eye on it now for a couple weeks but after doing so well the other day at the sale, I decided to go ahead and get it.

Thanks,

You might check with the feed store at Barkers corners. I met a lady that works there part-time and she had just gotten a dwarf goat. Made me want one too. I had two Nubian milk goats once. No milk. I'm pretty sure you have to have a billy around to get milk. They were a lot of fun. Thought they were dogs.

Not as much fun as a new baby though. Congratulations.

My sizzle flock is doing great. I would love to post pictures if I could figure out how from my IPad. They are very photogenic.

Don't forget my coop. Then you will have more money to buy the goats.

I'll do that with the feed store!

 

I have not forgotten about you....I need to get my trailer back from the person I loaned it to in order to bring it over to you.

Hello BYCer's, I just wanted to let everyone know that I moved back home to Lafayette from Gulfport Ms. I'm starting my flock over and will be breeding rare breeds as a hobby and when I say starting, I mean the eggs are in the incy and some still haven't arrived. I wouldn't call myself a breeder but I'm still learning, everything will be housed separate and culled to improve my flock. I do plan on selling eggs and chicks later next year to help pay some of the feed cost because we all know this is not a money making hobby if you're breeding for perfection. 

 

Here's what I'm starting with and I'm sure I'll add more later:

FBCM's from the Kevin and Wade Jean line

75-100% English blue, black, splash Orpingtons from ReniesPeeps

Blue Isbars from Greenfire Farms

Malaysian Seramas

Lavender Orpingtons from HinkJC

Coronation/Split Sussex

 

Does anyone have a list of shows, auctions, sales or any other functions to sell, buy or swap chickens in La? Thanks and I look forward to being part of the La chicken community.
