Does anyone want them before I try to give them away elsewhere?

I would love to have them Ksane.  I have been looking at brahmas and wanting to get some.  This would get me started. Then of course I have to get more so they do not get lonely! I just love chicken math.

Kass - Neat video of the NNs.  They are eating machines.  

Congratulation on the doeling.

Thank you.  Since I have that pink that hasn't bloomed, I will have to label the Beverly Sills.  And find the name of the other one.

I dont want to make waves for them and will wait until I see if the pens are complete before expressing my concerns to them. I doubt there is anything we can do about it but cant find anything online.

Lincoln County has a FSA office that will have the USDA guidelines.  The office is in Chandler.  405-258-1405

Glad yu are okay also!  Don't envy you the long work hours.
 

Good Morning!!  I have finally got caught up on all the pages~ I shall return to post!

Well this morning while I was in the shower my daughter came in upset that our only Silkie chick was dead. :( My little buddy. I don't know what happened, if it was me or just something wrong with the chick since it had such a difficult hatch. I'm clueless here. I know the three Ameraucana's  are doing just fine including the little one who had the pasty butt. 

I guess since I have so many chick's thanks to Ksane :) , and turkey and pheasant eggs in the incubator thanks to PoultryandBees :) , One day when everyone is out of the house I'll try my luck again with some Silkies. Maybe I can buy live ones instead of hatching lol. I laugh at my dad because he has to turn so many eggs for 25 days. hehe He asked if it would be to late to get a turner put in there but IDK.

Wolves are very hard to keep in. I pulled a wolf out of a shelter once (small town animal control woman had no idea what she was), she was mouthy (liked to chew on your forearms) and dispite the 8 foot chain link she dug out constantly until one day she dug out and didn't come back. I would be very concerned.

I don't see why you couldn't add the turner long as you work quickly they wouldn't be out for longer than it takes to candle.

Agh, worked my real job on saturday all day so I could stay home on sunday figuring I'd be up all night watching storms, just to get sick saturday night and all day yesterday. I need to get out in the garden today, but I think housework is going to trump that  bummer
