    Good morning from Oklahoma City! I haven't been to a poultry auction for many years and miss the fun of visiting with everyone from BYC. (I don't miss the time and expense of feeding all my new acquisitions that I bought because the "price was right " and I was enjoying the bidding) I still...

    Surely, no one is suggesting this kind of chicken math is a bad thing? LOL

    Probably a hat other than a ball cap would give you more authenticity for a training hike, maybe you need one like Elwood Lightfoot wears. A hundred miles is a lot of walking Just checking in. We actually went to our "fraidy hole" for the first time in many years. Of course, once we...

    We had a llama cria born last week. Didn't even realize the llama mama was pregnant. Llamas are sneaky that way As for raw honey - I am pleased to announce that the governor signed the Oklahoma Honey Sales Act last week, which will allow small beekeepers such as myself to lawfully sell raw...

    Nothing like information regarding POOPS to bring some of us old timers out of poultry retirement Yesterday, I found the first guinea eggs of the season. Guess it is time to separate the colors in the flight pen so I can hatch some pure colors. I need to have jcatblum remind me what color I...

    Jaxon and I plan to attend Although I have downsized significantly this year, Jaxon will most likely "need" some baby chicks.

    What a gorgeous day today! I actually enjoyed getting some chicken wire reattached to the bottom of the chain link pens, using metal rings this time instead of the zip ties that broke when a guinea somehow got between the chicken wire and the chain link. She managed to create a space for...

    Sounds like you have a great system going for your chicks. It would be easier to raise chicks if all of them could be placed with a mama hen willing to accept them. It never ceases to amaze me how nature takes care of the little ones by giving the mama hens a desire to accept whatever hatches...

    Good morning! I am reminding myself that the cold weather this week won't last too long and we hopefully won't have frozen water bowls very long. Many of my pens are a distance from electricity so it isn't practical to run electricity to them. I use the black rubber bowls for water so pour...

    Jcatblum - glad to see you are on the mend after your surgery. Hopefully, that third opinion on your lung will be the best one for your good health. I was sorry to miss the Shawnee show this year, but we went to San Antonio to celebrate my Mom's 87th birthday. She is in reasonably good...

    This evening I was reminded of the joy of a mama hen with her chicks. A hen managed to hide out and hatch 12 chicks Wed. morning, which I didn't immediately try to capture since it is usually much easier to catch the hen and her chicks at night when she is calmer. Unfortunately, when I went...
