Well, I have Salmon Faverolle pullets, that turkey if you still want it, black Aussies, two runner ducks, and I am open to offers on many of the other breeds. What are you interested in?

I was wondering if you had speckled sussex for sale? Is the turkey a male?

I have some young Sussex , not sure on sex yet. I don't know how to sex young turkeys. When would you be coming by? It will be great to see you again

Went to the doctor today and got a shot for this rash, and an rx so maybe I can get rid of it. Two weeks is too long. Hope to work on the pig house tomorrow . The piggies are growing, and come over as soon as they see me now. We had a tree split in a wind storm so it is leaning on two other trees. Always something.

It rained on and off all day, so I only sold two chickens at TSC I traded my ducks for turkeys, dh did not say anything about that. Never did get the pig house done, but I put a tarp up over their run. Man, I am tired from hauling chickens. Hope I can sell some next weekend. Saw an owl near the barn, hope it eats lots of mice.

Now you are showing off talking about rain.Today it rained south of here but not at my place.I went down south with my white pigeons to do a wedding in a pretty church on top of a hill built in 1901,it's a huge old catholic church with gold leaf painting inside.I made enought money to pay for pigeon feed for a while.

So I will have to ask her if she wants to try turkeys again. I would love to check out the sessex. You know I love all your lovely chickens!!!!!!!! I am not saying everyone else chickens are not lovely too, but yours were absolutely amazing.

We truely had a wonderful time visiting you and seeing all your animals.
