    Well, the dogs have been found. They had roamed at least 8 miles away. This morning a neighbor, 1 1/2 miles away called and said they were on their porch. I was in the middle of feeding the birds (all of them) as KsKingBee is down with a bad back, so we didn't leave right away. By the time we...

    Well, the first bee class is done and I was pleased with the power point that I got done. That is why I have been scarce and I am working on one for this Saturday. This is the first full blown power point that I have ever made. Kinda getting into it. Hi to all the newcomers, this is a great...

    Back from Gardner and got the new birds settled in. Only had a couple of mishaps, a broken egg in a nest box and a loose brooder chick in the house. FrizzledPink can't believe that we didn't get to meet. I bought the big parrot cage and Danz was sitting there with me so we must have been in the...

    I had started on a reply last night and then "poof" it was gone so I went to bed. Loved the weather yesterday, we got the three coops cleaned out and I got 2 of them disinfected. Now we can can move the breeders around, which is really just the exhibition Orps. The BLRW aren't quite old enough...

    I am sitting here getting caught up on posts and KKB says, "do I have 4 egg turners or just 3"? "I don't know", I answered, "I never had one". "Well, I think I have another one somewhere, I'll go look." "For why?", I ask, "when are you going to stop hatching chicks?" His answer, "when the hens...

    Danz, sorry about your rooster, I can understand your tears and frustration. I hope you can find a replacement for him. We lost the turkey this morning, it's like she just gave up. So now we have 1 blind pullet, 1 pullet with a messed up leg and the pullet with the prolapse in the infirmary...

    Ralph you are right - March in like a lion and out like a lamb. I'm gonna think all positive thoughts about that. That's a neat tool you came up with to collect the hidden eggs. How easy is it to find the hidden nests? I'm worried about finding the guinea nests. One of the guineas was in a...

    Here was our excitement for today Probably happened yesterday while we were at Yoder. We didn't get back until after dark. We were there by 2:30 and were in the 3rd row, by the time the auction started there was 5 rows. Sold 19 cockerels for an average of $4.50, the way I see it is no more...

    Another beautiful day. I did a little cleaning on the pen I've got all the cockerels in. Hoping to take them to Yoder on Friday. Anybody need any EE, BLR Wyandottes, or BC Marans roosters? :/ My girls still aren't laying regular, didn't get a Marans egg today or a turkey egg. Here is a pic of...

    I am so far behind, I've been trying to limit my computer time, but I have taken some quick peeks. Trish, congratulations on the grandson and not needing knee surgery. This colder weather will maybe help slow you down so you will take care of yourself. Very anxious for a pic of the fluffy...

    I've been out twice today to care for the birds. Luckily, we didn't get the ice you got Danz, just some ice pellets. It's cold but not horrible. The chickens didn't venture out much today, they are as tired of this weather as we are. Egg production was picking up, only got three today though...

    Man, I wish Spring would quit teasing us. So beautiful yesterday and today the artic blast is back. The wind came up fierce just as we came inside from enjoying the beautiful day. No damage, just some buckets blown across the pasture. Extremely cold out there today, guess I should get the heated...

    The guinea had a different taste to it, but I thought it was rather good. I did pour about a 1/4 cup of mead in with it. :P I just put the meat in the freezer to use at a later date. It was mostly dark meat but I can't really describe the flavor, just tastey. Danz, I have had two incidents with...

    Trish I think maybe you are icing the wrong spot. Maybe just eat some ice cream and that would make it all feel better! :D Well it sounded like a better option to me any way. Yep, Danz, now that is my kind of therapy. :D

    Hi ChooksChick, good to see you back and that you are still in the chicken business. You were just getting out as KKB and I were getting started. The chicken math got to us and we have more than we have room for, so, no more, until we get more pens. (Famous last words, right :D) Do you still...

    My cat loves to spend time with the chickens, (see the pic I posted of hey napping in the nest boxes). She eats the FF and dry feed no matter that her bowl is always full, except when the chickens get in and eat her food. So I guess turn about is fair play. She loves to play with the chickens...

    Trish, that is not good news at all. Wishing you a speedy recovery with no complications. You do have someone that can come and help you with your chores, right? I will offer my help if you find you need it on your road to recovery. I have to go down the bank to the creek to feed the ducks and...

    Thanks to everyone on the input on the puppy. I'm not sure what we are going to do. I miss having a dog, but I enjoy watching the deer and turkeys play in the field. But the guineas seem to be doing a great job of keeping them chased off. But, I do have a chicken cat. Sharol, so jealous of...

    Well, Happy New Year! Everyone. Things and I are getting back to normal, just don't handle these holidays well. I see where everyone had a pretty good Christmas, busy cleaning, cooking and traveling. Happy grand kids, cute as a button babies, and neat chicken presents. KKB's DIL knows that we...

    Just one more day like yesterday, and then one more, one more and then winter could be over. Wish..... We got another load of honey pulled, but KKB is feeling under the weather so we didn't get as much pulled as we should have. But, I did get the brooder pen cleaned and added some leaves to the...
