"Okie" got jumped by the two RB toms yesterday. He was getting beat up pretty good but before I could get out there he ran between their legs and escaped none the worse for wear!

Sure good to hear that Okie is a quick chick Those doggone bullies!

Okie got really beaten up today. Guess I'll have to make a separate place for him. P

Thanks, I'm pretty bummed. I'll pick up 10 RB poults from a local hatchery "Country Hatchery" in mid June. They've done well for me and only about 30 miles away.

Second one that I've seen anyway! I have him separated and he's still strutting. I think I might be crazy. I ordered a dozen Naragansett poults last night. Couldn't resist. LOL. My feed bill is going to triple.

Lol You'll have fun watching them. Do they eat alot? Raising animals correctly isn't for sissies, the faint of heart, those who don't like getting a bit grungy or shoveling you-know-what or most definitely spending alot of $$. Our 2nd home is TSC. All the employees know us by name. The payoff is we have healthy animals and have picked up 3 egg customers from there and that's without advertising

. I have a little hobby farm, about 20 acres. My first home is Lowes, second is the farm store,and third is with my wife. If she knew how much I spent on my "hobby"' she'd flip. (I think she knows but doesn't say anything). My daughters family is in San Diego.

I found one of my hens in the brush. She was wounded but I did some doctoring. It took a while and she's still limping but she's going to make it
