A Hearty second to Sooner's comment.
I couldn't make the event due to prior commitments but I was there in spirit for what that is worth.
I know Coral did all she could do and from what I have read, aside from a few glitches, the event went well.
I have helped organize five POOPS...
Hi all. I have been helping one of Jack's sisters (her name was Laura) since May 13 - first in the hospital and then with her at her home under hospice care. She died peacefully at home Tuesday night.
Lynn, three of the eggs I got from you hatched. I got one Ameraucana, one Brown Leghorn...
I would like some more too, Bill - I have had a couple from the suckers that finally sprouted from the cane, but maybe the root sections will take better - that variegated cane is so pretty - would be a good green wall where I am planting it!
...family and friends who have been diagnosed with disease.
Greybear Lynn - thanks for your call today. I wish I could meet you and Teach and old*cowboy Saturday at the Guy Rose auction - sounds like tons of fun and it would be good to see Teach again (and you, and even Guy!)
One of the...
It was great to see you and your family too, Greybear/Lynn! Now after wishing these broody hens would just "get over it" I'm praying they stick with it since they'll have fertilized eggs to sit on. Thanks so much for showing me all your chickens - you have a great setup and some beautiful...
Greybear - I just read your post about overdoing it a bit yesterday - take care of yourself, Friend. I'll see you in a bit. (I'm going to pick up eggs for the broody at Greybear's!)
I need to go back and edit my post to confess to the "internet guinea photo" I submitted - it is something called a "helmeted Guinea fowl" Here is info on the photo and I will also edit my original post:

Someone with first-hand experience will know better, but my folks always stole the keets from any "open range" hatches as they appeared and put them in a brooder of some sort.
I just changed the bedding in the keet hutch I'm keeping the 16 week-old guinea keets in (thanks jcatblum/Christina &...
I put the cane I got from Elwood in the ground a week ago Sunday and I haven't checked to see if there is new growth on it yet... How did you plant yours, Kass? I cut mine into 8-12 inch pieces, dug a 3" trench and planted it with the stem laying horizontally on the bottom of the trench. I've...
RetiredArmyWife - I'm glad I'm not the only one! I won't be able to keep the chicks from my planned broody experiment since there are rules about how many chickens we're allowed in the city limits and I am already more than full up on clucks. I am really just tired of trying to break broody...
I think I am one of the few holdouts on the Okie forum who doesn't want to incubate eggs, doesn't like broody breeds (when they're broody), has a strict no-rooster policy, and is basically just no fun that way. But I have a hen who went broody a couple of days ago, and I saw Greybear mention...
Monty! Sorry to report that I did not get away from POOPS with your extension cord. When I saw you were missing it I thought maybe it got put in with my equipment, but it's not there.
