The Bluebonnet show at Texas A&M is January 4, 2014. I will be there. I hope to be showing my Wyandottes this year.
There is a Backyard Chicken Class and an Egg Show!
Hey Erikk. How is that SLW cockerel I gave you doing?
As far as I know.... The medical part is fine... It's the education part that's fudged...
I just harvested 7 perfect asparagus spears from our asparagus jungle. We thought it had given up the ghost with the summer drought. It's amazing how quickly plants respond to a good rain.
Looks like I may have to drop out of school if the shutdown continues... guvment pays my tuition!
All I found for links lead to this one

Is there a better one? It really does not tell much and no pics. If anyone takes a look and could tell me what kind of furry cow that is. Coolest looking beef I have ever seen.
So far wonderfully! He's taken over the flock quickly without much stress to anyone (got 3 eggs from my 3 layers last couple days still). Our family friend who's staying in our motorhome came back with her dog though so I haven't had the opportunity to train my dogs to rooster and rooster to the dogs. When my dogs have come excitedly running out to the fenced run the cockerel did move to put himself between the dogs and his flock (still inside the fenced run). That was VERY encouraging.
Looks like our motorhome-guest is leaving town again for a few days so I want to get the cockerel and dogs acquainted. I was thinking maybe letting him free-range in the yard with one of the silkies I don't care about and let one dog at a time go out and see how they all react. Or is there another better way? I ultimately want the roo to act to defend his flock and I want the dogs to learn the limits the roo sets. Suggestions?

I've got my asparagus on drip though they too seemed to respond to the rain. I haven't picked any of the new spears for fear they were from root splits and thought harvesting would kill/delay the new split-bulb. Or am I way wrong and should I try the spears? (they are SOOO good. Snap, eat, heaven).
This winter we'll probably move the ones we planted 2 years ago. We didn't realize when planting them how long the fern branches would get and they're hanging over our walkway.
