So we've got now 28 birds in our loft. The most recent additions have been there for almost 2 weeks now. Last night one of our hens was acting really lethargic and sat around all puffed up. She let me walk right up to her and pet her before taking off, which is really unusual for these birds. My...
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound snotty by my post about the roo. I just went back and read it. I thought you thought that if the hen went broody, you'd have chicks regardless of the fact that you don't have a roo. My mistake! Good luck and I'm totally jealous you're getting chickens... One day...
Oh okay... I never thought of the horse bedding. I'm not sure what corncob is running here anymore. I wonder if the sand would help with Pigeon Fancier's Lung? Anyone know?
I just checked out Slobberknocker's. I didn't realize just how expensive it is to ship birds! I can't decide what kind of...
If you ever get fantails though, don't do what I did as a kid and let them cross with rollers. That's one goofy looking bird, let me tell you. Some feathers stuck up in a fan and some went straight out. It was hilarious! Lessons learned I guess...
I have a few questions real quick. My dad and I have had pigeons on and off since I was a little kid and he raised them as a kid as well. We are going to getting back into having pigeons shortly (hopefully I can get my husband into it!), and we're trying to decide what we're going to do with our...
Kevin says he doesn't like the ducks and that I have too many... He also goes out to talk to the big ducks and is always asking me where Wocket is (one of the babies). If I have him out, he needs to hold him and pet him. I love it!! He always tries to act tough about animals but he's the first...
See now I really enjoyed Paranormal Activity... I thought it was well done, but then again, I'm very into the whole ghost thing.
My worst movie would have to be The Love Guru. That movie was absolutely ridiculious.
Hmmm... wet asphalt, just mowed grass, horses, dog feet, just before it rains, playdoh, bonfires, just lit matches, lakes and marshs (reminds me of duck hunting w/ my dad as a kid), I don't know what else....
HappyMtn: That stinks!! Most our lakes around here are just gross so we don't eat the fish here. We actually catch the cats in the Lake of the Ozarks...
SillyStunt: I agree. While we're "trophy hunters" per se, we eat the meat. If we don't need any more meat, we give it to people who we know...
I love fishing too. See... I prefer catching catfish. They're the only fsh I eat so I like getting them. My dad fries them up in batter and man are they good!! We're catch and release here though. I have no interest in eating bass or bluegill so back in they go if we catch them.
I'm supposed to...
Flame on then... IRM...
I bowhunt as well. I don't trap anymore, but I used to trap coons all the time!! If they started in on my birds, I start trapping again. I'm just not home enough to check the trap lines and I hate wasting anything so I'm better off not fooling with it again. I really...
We don't shoot does because the people who own the property beside ours kill them all year. We especially don't shoot does during bow season because their babies are usually still with them. I shot an almost 3 point last year. It's tines were huge and curved, but never spread. My DF and his dad...
Okay... this kind of started in the picture posting thread and I'm curious to know... How many other women on here hunt and what do you hunt? I'm not talking... oh I went out hunting once... type hunting... I'm talking looking forward to the next season as much if not more than your S.O.
I hunt...
I'm moving to Taylorville, IL in 2 weeks. If I can get the ducks off the pond, I could bring one with me and meet you somewhere. I've got a pekin, a rouen, and a crested pekin hen.
My DF got transfered to Illinois for work and we're renting an apartment. That being said, a 750 sqft apartment is not going to work for 14 ducks, a dog, and us. I need to get these guys new homes before I go. I'd give them away, but I really need the money to get some stuff for the new digs...

......and a hunter too?
Hey! Want a stalker?
LOL
Lol... I know... most guys just can't believe it. I can out shoot my DF with a shotgun too... Lol.
Mine's from last hunting season. No... I'm not 16... I'm 21 lol...
It was my first deer... He had a smaller rack than everyone elses but about 50lbs on them... hehe... leave it to the only girl allowed at deer camp to shoot the biggest deer.
