A short intro for myself as well, I am the Hubster of the BarnSwallow. I am currently in the Army as a welder and machinist with just under a year left. We have 25 Cuckoo Maran chicks coming this next week so we are very excited since we have never had this breed before. We hope to meet some of...
Make an image in your head of a person just like YOU holding a baby chicken,Now.........Flip that around. Make a picture of a Big chicken holding a person in their wing with one of those cartoon bubbles coming from the person saying, You guessed it, Chillin' With My Peeps!!
For Everyone Who Knows Jer-man............... I Want To Thank Him So Much For Helping Me With My New Roof. He Drove To My House In Elgin From Mustang Ok To Help Me Tear Off Shingles That Were Old And Crumbly With A Million Nails, And We Did All Of It In The Rain!!!! He Helped Me Meet My...
YOU CAN'T DO A ROLL CALL YET...............SOME OF US ARE STILL HERE! We had a great time and I still do not believe that I actually WON the duck I wanted from the raffle. This years POOPS was great and I would like to know the dates for FALL POOPS!!!! I plan on being there. BarnSwallow says...
Here is what "I" want to do, I want to have chicken eggs for eating and selling once we start getting 20+ everyday, and I want to raise turkeys. Mostly to process and have turkey year-round. I would like to sell some turkey poults but right now I just don't know. Since we have heritage breeds it...

Brooders can be made out of plastic tubs or cardboard boxes, or ....... I used to get the boxes that furniture comes in so they would be tall and big - then put an old screen window over the top so they couldn't fly out - would get the window screens at Habitat for Humanity for a few...
I noticed that you said there would be another RAFFLE. I think we should CANCEL it if countryroad1330 is going to be there. I think she went home last time with a trunk full of prizes!! Who else thinks it was RIGGED????

Ya know, I have thought about buying some hatching eggs but we are in way over our head here on the farm right now. We don't have an incubator, brooder or any other kind of chick motel setup, HAHA. Believe me when I say that everything is on the list but I don't think it's a good idea right now...
I see that we are yappin 'bout hatchn'. I would like to start doing some hatching but we have a young flock and The B-Swallow and I need more practice I think next year we will need to start building up A LOT more.
Good Morning MaryBeth, you appear to be the only one here. I am glad I can still type considering my throat is all messed up this morning, I think it is from riding the motorcycle in the cold and the smoke inhalation from burning brush in the backyard.

Lets say that your run is 10'x100' and you want to put 6 inches of sand in it. Ok length times width is 1000 sq feet but it is also 1000...
BIG OKIE, I am happy to hear that you all are ok. About all I can offer you at this time is my weekends.......All of them! I do not know just how much you lost but know this, I have a big bad truck with a big bad flatbed trailer and all of my hard labor for a friend in need comes to you for the...

Who did you contact to get that price. I could use about 16-18 tons of gravel.
I go to Dolese gravel between elgin and Lawton. Yesterday I weighed in at 6900lbs with my 2500 pickup and I have the loader top off the bed until it's level which turns out to be just over 4000 lbs, and I...
Well I guess it's that time. I have almost DOUBLED my post count tonight and I am now about half way through my incubation period. My shell is very thick and hard to break out of . Just to protect myself....I said shell, not skull!! Good Night everyone

I don't think anyone is "ghosting". They must have taken the night off. Maybe something is going around, NO WAIT!! Something IS going around.......Barn Swallow is going to bed and I am still here!! *cough* *cough*

I had a great day at work too, which does NOT come often! I finished welding one of my tables and that felt good. Then I had to cut the plywood for the top and I hate sawdust in my welding area, it just doesn't feel right.
