The only owls I've seen are the little screech owls. I've seen them hunting mice in the early evenings. They would have a problem with one of the bantams even.

Thanks for your sympathies about the chick.

Me and my family need your prayers desperately. 
My dad is a High school P.E. teacher.  He tried to get between two boys that were going to fight.  One was a 6 foot tall bully, and my dad is only 5 feet.  He told the kid to knock it off, and got between them.  The big kid grabbed my dad's arm, and tried to shove him out of the way.  My dad's hand hit the kids tooth accidentally and made it loose.  Then the bully proceeded to pick up my dad, spin him up-side down, and ram him against the chain link fence.  My dad grabbed the fence, and held on.  He called for help and a few other students got between my dad and kid, and held him back.
He came home with blood all over his face, his hand swollen.  The bully however only has a loose tooth. 

The district is trying to fire my dad, because it is easier to "get rid" of the teacher, then punish the student. 

We welcome your prayers. 
Thanks

Oh gosh, I am so sorry. That is just awful.. Prayers coming your way!

Molly, that is just TOO cute!

Thank you...I must agree with you

We had the babies outside for a while today, it was so much fun! Watching them chase each other over little worms was 100x better than any TV show I've ever seen. Buffle got tired and took a nap in Mark's hands. It's so much fun to see the adorable newly hatched babies! Ours from McMurry are supposed to have hatched today and get here by Tuesday or Wednesday

More pictures of the new babies!

Priceless ! And yes, 100x better then TV!

I hope so! I want to keep two but I don't know for sure which. I depends on how well the others hatch. Heritage RIRs, Bresse(a lot of us seem to have them though) Blue Egg layers, Basque and Asturian Paints are possible.

I pullet the last three eggs out and found one still alive in the first one. The membrane started bleeding so I poked a little hole in the other two and got the eggs back into the hatcher. Crazy hatch for sure!
Wow, that is one seriously amazing hatch rate for shipped eggs

. Those Arkansas Blues sound like very hearty birds. I sure hope you decide to keep them so I can get some eggs/chicks..

If you decide not to breed them, keep me in mind for a roo and a few pullets?

Best of luck, use the Teacher's Union and don't let them flog your dad for trying to stand up to a bully.

What happens when you skip a day collecting eggs because you are gone to a show? And you have an OCD number of chickens?

And I just heard someone out there singing the egg song! I only collected around midday...................and it doesn't count the four eggs I let Earlene keep because she seemed intent to sit.....................and she's a showgirl, what more can I say?

Deb

Who is that cute little green egg from?

Here are a few shots of some of my birds at the show this weekend.

Porcelain silkie


SPPR pullet

Your birds are beautiful, these two are my favorites. I have a soft spot for those puffballs - and that penciling on the pullet is wonderful.

Hey all, I'm new to keeping chickens and my husband and I just picked up our first 3 girls from Miss Molly this evening. We picked up 3 cream legbar chicks, 2 typical coloration and one white girl. One of the girls looks like she is going to have the most amazing crest. Yeah, this is the start of an addiction...
