Then my Splash LF Cochin girl, Colin. One of my special Cochin babies.

Nice chicks, but I love the Cochin girl.. she is a Dollie!

Boy we went from the high 80s to the 66s today and 40s tonight.But it was a beautiful day. I was busy putting cages together for the auction tomorrow. Did good till I unloaded feed and pulled a muscle in my back. Now if I move jsut right it hurts like heck!

Excited to be going to the huge Amish sale tomorrow.There is always so much to see. I drove by there today on the way to get feed and the twenty acres was already filling up with all kinds of old tractors and horse drawn equipment ,tools ,lumber,etc. By daylight the birds and critters will start flowing in. I'll try and get lots of pics.

How many of those tiles do you want? I'll be bringing them to the sale today for you

We got our two hens! One has been in the nest box for awhile though and I was wondering how long it takes them to lay an egg? Whenever we go near the box she gets really worked up, is she broody? They seem to love their new homeI have so many questions, thanks for being patient :)

Good Morning Everyone! 

How are yall doing? Been a month since I last popped on here to say hello... and boy you are all yappy...

Kass: sorry to read about the hatchery drama.. I hope all is well now

Sooner: Gosh looking at those shirts makes me POOP sick...

Citiclucks: Just keep the dog you know she will keep you warm in the winter and shady in the summer

Elwood: Funny Funny Farm Sign !! I think I will keep that as my screen savor

 On the home front:

Since we finally closed on the house(19th March) the kids and I have been busy

I ordered 25 chicks from Murray Mc Murray couple weeks ago and with the chicks I was wanting they wont be able to ship the whole order until May 21... I was like dang chicks are going quick.

Sissy is still working the stables and I have realized it is time for her to learn the basics of driving..

Austin (on his own) has really taken to try and be the man of the house while dad is deployed and at times its fun to watch him try and talk big... and be serious... but it is nice to see him want to care for me his mom and be protective over his sissy and what needs to be done on the house...

Some of my fellow Friends recently signed up on BYC and I dont know their screen name yet but I hope they find the OKIES in the BYC as I think they would enjoy getting to know each and everyone of you and will be able to attend the POOPS...  Their names are Britany and Charles... Great people.

 Well I best skeedaddle You guys have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Those are the cutest deviled eggs I have ever seen!  Obviously, the orange beek is a carrot sliver, but are the black eyes a part of a raisin or something else?

Here's one of my Blue Cochin girls the day she hatched and then after she was grown. The 3 that ended up Splash colored were pretty much pure yellow with no gray.
