Jody,
I've got at least a dozen young chicks out there in a pen running around that are big enough to pull a plow. Problem is the shipping costs would break the bank. Sure wish I had a way to get some of them to you. I would gladly give them to you.
You might check the link below for incubator parts. I built one using these parts. This company is the manufacture for the large cabinet model incubators as well as the hova bators. I purchased a 250 watt heating element from them for mine...
Sounds like someone has a bad case of hatching fever.
Obviously I'm old school because I all to well remember the muu muu dresses. But somehow I thought they went out with the leisure suits. Actually I know a guy that still wears his leisure suits to this day. Must be the only thing in his...
I've been both busy and lazy as of late and have not posted on my thread for some time. It's time I catch up rather than just read. Right?
This morning I made a pan of those baking powder, cathead biscuits like BamaChicken showed a pic of. Man those things will knock your socks off. Had to...
How beautiful those girls are. You are the envy of buff orp people. The 12 that I hatched from you are growing out real nice and should look like yours next spring. I can't wait.

Hi Yogiman!
Tonight I'm making YOUR recipe for cat head biscuits and also some red pepper mustard greens (from my garden), not bad from a Mainer-huh?
Not bad! Not bad at all! You go girl, do it. But when you get those biscuits down pat then we've got to work on some cornbread...

I'm wondering if Yogiman/Roger is okay.
Ms. Julie,
Yogiman is fine as frog hair. Sorry, didn't mean to worry you none. Just been real busy around here. Fortunately the hurricane come on shore down east of us and traveled up through the center of the state. We had little...
Well, I spent the morning cooking up all kinds of foods and breads while waiting for Hurricane Gustav to get here. He is now making his entrance here but I'm not a good hoast so I'm not inviting him in for supper. He's already caused me to much work and trouble.
Redfeathers asks:
Yogi, if I ever get sick will you come hang around my back door and cook for me too?
Heck yeah, and I'll even bring a new box of Slap Ya Mama to expedite your illness. Can't beat a deal like that, now can ya'?
Well, since DW is down with pheumonia this week, I'm hanging closer to the back door than normal. So today I was in one of my cooking moods and off I went. First thing this morning I cooked a pot of pinto beans seasoned with a Vidalia onion and bonless smoked ham hocks. I also cooked a pot of...
The fact that you are in Texas, you might consider Ideal Poultry in Cameron, TX as a source for chicks. They have a wide variety of breeds available during the hatching seasons. There is a minimum amount order for like $20.00 or $25.00. They have an online ordering service that works quite...
I don't know how to put it into proper words except to say that Willie is one fine looking speciman. Wow! Gotta ask you: Is he pure black or b/b/s breeding, not that it makes any difference?
That blue pullet is gorgeous. You can bet that with the right roo she's going to make some beautiful...
OMG, Ms. Julie, you done went a got me sittin here slobbering like a suckling calf now. Where on earth did you get fresh collard greens this time of the year? I just bet Mama drove over to your house in the rain to eat a meal like that. Who wouldn't? I'd crawl on my hands and knees through a...

Lawd, have mercy, Ms. Julie, you just flung a craving on me something fierce. I'm not one to go...
Whoot! Tori, ya' done good this time gal. Congrats! They are fine looking chicks. Now the fun begins.
I'm priming these 6 silver gray dorking pullets for ya' so that you can attempt to break that record with them next spring. They sure are looking might purdy and just starting to lay so...
Wow! Is that a purdy boy or what? Jody and Charlie, thank you for being generous enough to share your success with the rest of us. I sincerely wish the two of you nothing less than continued success and good fortune.
And if that boy ain't perfect he didn't miss by much if any. The rest of...
It's blantly obvious that I'm no poultry expert but everthing I read says that it is the hen that establishes the sex in the chicks. Have you thought about having a heart to heart girlie talk with Velvet and Skye? Just a thought, ya know. Poor old Suede is doing his best, I'm sure.
