Missouri is a beautiful state to live in Hope you find a good spot to settle down so you can join us on the MO thread

Went for a short hike at Don Robinson State Park with my daughter, her boyfriend’s son and one of our puppies today. It’s only about 15 minutes from my house.

We had another cactus bloom! And the double ditch lilies finally bloomed...

Also the yard owl just landed 10 ft in front of me as I was typing this... that was exciting... but she saw me here on the porch and flew off immediately

I think there is just a ton of people that decided to take advantage of the extra time at home due to corona and get chickens. That's my thought anyway. It is part of the way I got my husband to finally get on board(I'd been wanting to get chickens for a long time). He was bored staying home and likes to build stuff. So, I've gotten new steps to our currently unfinished basement, a chicken coop, custom dog bowls, an outdoor fire ring with an outdoor buffet/table, a swing, and very rustic benches for around the fire out of him being stuck at home.

Anyone on here good at telling if cochins are roosters or hens? I have one that is larger than everyone else, brighter and larger comb but not crowing at all so I keep thinking hen, but just not sure. I took a bunch of pictures today trying to get several angles with the other cochins I'm almost certain are hens.


I believe they are about 12 weeks old now.

I noticed that welded wire fencing is out of stock here, anyone else have that problem? I'm looking for some 1" x 1" welded wire fencing for the new run.

Fun, when will these guys start crowing?

My daughter named the big one Rainbow.

I am guessing they are sold out

I have found big box stores like Home Depot out of it, but ranch stores like Orscheln's have quite a lot of fencing in stock. Maybe TSC as well.
