My spangled butchers are getting bigger. I had two spangled penny hatch pullets and lost one to the 4 day cold snap.

Ya, it is getting gorgeous. Fall is my favorite time of year. Just too bad it is so short. Halloween party tonight!

We just moved into this property 10 months ago and it's kinda in a small river valley. I grew up about 20 miles away and we had ticks, but I don't ever remember having lonestar ticks there, or worrying about a disease. I made a cricket farm in the garden by throwing out the old straw from the...

Thanks Shawluvsbirds. Sounds like a wonderful trip JT. I hope you have a great time. Dad was married in the Thorncrown glass chapel in Eureka Springs. I like the downtown there. I hope it hasn't changed too much. Very pretty area. I need to do some winterizing and redo the roosts in the...

Thanks, JT. Ya, the Corning festival would be a 3 hour drive for us, but you never know. Maybe the fall colors will be captivating this year. It's been pretty rainy here. Mom had planned on going to the Fair Grove festival with my aunt, but I don't think they made it. I grew up down the...

You are right JT, the cooler weather is very nice. We got lucky here this summer and always got a rain right before things started dying. The festival in Corning sounds interesting. Fair Grove, MO has a harvest festival that always had steam engines and tractors. I haven't been for quite a...

I've picked up my share of walnuts! Did anyone go to the Sedalia show? I didn't make it. Instead, I picked up a couple game hens off craigslist. Pretty things, but I have to run em into the coop at night when they start to hop into the trees. My wife and Mom named them Thelma and Louise.

They sure are cute though. That reminds me, I need to get a good pair of rubber boots.

Ya, we didn't get a Spring, a Fall would sure be nice. It's my favorite time of year. I hope my new chicks will train the older ones to use horizontal nipples. I may get some cooler extensions for the nipples and try that through the winter.

The show in Sedalia might be fun. It's the biggest in Missouri isn't it? Sedalia is only a couple hours for us.

Ya, I wanted to start some game birds from chicks and handle and get to know them a bit. It's fun seeing them grow. I have had three batches of birds already this year, and some will have to go before too long.

Thanks. Spangled Penny Hatch mostly, a couple Albany, one Claret, a couple McLean Hatch, a few Spangled Butcher. I hope some hatch out. I'll know in a couple of weeks.

Hello all. I'm in SW MO. We got guineas for ticks, and that turned into more guineas, pullets, chicks, and now hatching eggs. Lol. Hopefully I'll have some game fowl soon if my eggs turn out.
