***OKIES in the BYC III ***
I personally adore my speckled sussex. They are handy foragers and lay quite well and are very inquisitive. Plus when free ranging they have a natural camo outfit! I had welsumers and loved them too. They lay a beautiful terra cotta colored egg with dark speckles. On the leghorns I have had...- FunChick

I love the princess bride names as well. My youngest daughter, who is now 28 can still recite that movie from beginning to end. She would love to name our chickens after the movie characters too!- FunChick

Thank you all for the support in regards to my roo. It is so strange to visit the barn and coops without hearing his deep chuckling at me. I am going to try and hatch some eggs from his hens...a mixed farmflock. Unfortunately I only have space for 8 eggs in the incubator as I am trying to hatch...- FunChick

Howdy Peeps! It's been a bit since I have been on. Usually every Memorial weekend we decide to pick a big project to work on around the farm since we have the extended weekend. This way we usually get rental equipment for an extra day at least since the rental yards are usually closed on the...- FunChick

Today watching the tornado coverage and the thousands of Oklahomans helping anyone in need has made me so proud to call Oklahoma my home. I may be a born and bred Californian but I will be an Okie till my dying day.- FunChick

My goodness what wild weather we have been having! I hope everyone is OK and safe. Here in Piedmont it almost felt like we were going to have a re-run of the May 24th tornado a couple of years ago. Prayers to all those who have been impacted by the bad weather. This weekend we kept ourselves...- FunChick

Today I was getting composted horse poop from the manure pile for the new trees and found a HUGE grub...thicker and longer than my thumb. What kind of bug it makes I am not sure...Japanese beetle maybe? Anyway I took it to the bantam cochins and there was a four way tug of war over it...that...- FunChick

Wow! I cant wait! Thank you for telling me! We also got one cottonless cottonwood which is supposed to get to 75-90 ft tall. I hope it does! I really love trees. We lived on an open prairie in California and there were no trees for shade anywhere near us. One of my requirements when looking...- FunChick

Thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us! I am so pleased to see that what we have in mind should work. I just wanted to be sure we wouldnt have heat stress related deaths. As it was last summer, in spite of hosing down shady areas, using ice chunks in waterers and providing misters...- FunChick
