I am looking to start with some meat rabbits. Anyone in central MO that has any? I have waited to late for the swaps and sales. I think I want to try to get reds or fawns so I don't have to fool with dyeing fur. I'm not really a furrier, but I will try to use it. Seems so wasteful to just...
Is anyone going to the Keytesville auction on 8-13? I have some goats I need to sell and wondered if any of you who go often could tell me whether there is anything I need to do to sell them at Keytesville. Do I just show up with them? Do I need to call ahead or have them checked by a vet or...
I must have been near you all too. I was on the left side of the ring at the bottom of the bleachers next to the old stoic looking amish man who did not seem impressed by my adorable muddy little ones, lol.

Trying to find the critters I...

4 chicks, 1 zipping, half a dozen or so pips....come on chickies
KDbeads how is the little one doing?
PS....incubating is MUCH more fun when chicks hatch at the end....I believe I am hooked
Congratulations on your new fluffies!
I have 2 new baby chickens and 3 more have pipped. I am surprised they are so early, I wasn't expecting any until Saturday! I will try to get pics as soon as I can.
Also, 1 more quail hatched late last night for a total of 5 out of 21 eggs. I left them...
