    HEChicken, what so you think of your Muscovy ducks--plus and minus. I'm thinking of getting some for my MIL. She has them in with her geese--would that be a problem?

    Trish, I think we'll start with a couple of pullets so they can be in the show pen. We looked them up the other day and my son fell in LOVE!

    Quote: Nope. They live in Atlanta. They went through all kinds of theories about what might have happened to Sam, but after a week they decided he must have been killed by a dog. A few days later he showed up fixed but well cared for. And he didn't want out for a while after that! We're...

    Trish, we're looking for some nice show birds for 4 H. My son LOVES his Ameraucanas and is looking to add some ladies for his boys. I know you have some pretty birds. We also have Large Cochins, both White and Black Langshans, and a pair of little frizzles. We also have a bantam roo...

    Well, it seems like I've missed a ton--50 or 60 pages of posts! I've been busy helping my mom, she had open heart surgery for a valve in November. She's doing so much better now, so now I can start going in every other day instead of every day. Trish, are you planning any hatches right now...

    HEChicken, I've been feeding Lacey tomato and bread bites in her nest box. She came out for a few minutes the second day, but when baby couldn't figure out how to follow her up the ramp, I had to put them both back in. She has been in the nest box since--they have water and feed in the coop...

    Welcome to the world of motherhood!!! I always say that God gave me children to break me of my perfectionism! Say goodbye to the perfectly clean house, having laundry done AND put away, being on time ANYWHERE, and wearing clean clothes (babies LOVE to spit up on your only clean shirt)!!! With...

    A drive-thru would be bad, but hopefully he doesn't think it's an All-you-can-eat buffet!

    Oh, and not that it helps you QueenBee, but my incubator is our Lacey cochin! My mother-in-law uses those Styrofoam ones and disobeys all the rules of where to place them and gets pretty good results--but they are fickle. She's looking into getting a counter height incubator that has a...

    Today my daughter took our ADHD puppy Daisy to Ag class for animal day. They checked their vitals, took them on a run around the track, and checked their vitals again for a lab. I walked her up to the school (or rather she walked me and I kept her from chasing the wild birds). Daisy then ran...

    I promised some pictures of the 4-H kids with their dressed up animals. Here are a few. Trevor (Turken cockerel) as Dracula won 1st Poultry. He's wearing a red and black cape and was a crowd favorite. All the poultry entries. The whole poultry class. Emily (Americauna/EE...

    My in-laws burn hedge--it's HOT and there is little ash. It's their favorite.

    Well, I had a post ready to go last night when the storm knocked out our power...ugh...I don't remember all I was going to say! Danz, my pointer just turned one year old in August. She is still a puppy through and through, but my hubby wants to start bird training (I translate that to making...

    Thanks, Josie. I'll give them a call, but I'm not sure they do what I'm looking for. We need to train her to bird hunt (although the obedience wouldn't hurt!--She really does act like she's ADHD!!). The guy we used before doesn't have an opening until May--although that may give her time to...

    OK, this is TOTALLY random....but does anyone know a good English Pointer bird dog trainer? The guy we used with our last dog isn't training until next year, and he won't share any names.

    I only had that "nesting" feeling with one of my four kids--thankfully!! I had pulled EVERYTHING out of the kids' room so I could steam clean the carpet before the baby came. He was born the next day--almost 2 weeks early. My husband hurried home to put the toddler bed back in the room, but...

    Danz, what color cochins do you have? Josie, welcome home. It looks like your trip was fun. Flying is CRAZY with a baby--we went to Washington with a 2 1/2 yr old and 8 mo old years ago. Between strollers, car seats, and diaper/keep-the-kids-happy bags, I was shocked we survived and didn't...

    I love the Frizzles! Thanks, Trish, for the link. They are for my mother-in-law--I really can't tell them apart as goslings. She was "gifted" a bunch of boys and would like some ladies to go with them.
