You’ve been a member for 12 yrs!!! How about that. Hope you join in our conversations here on the MO thread....

I will join in when I check in....I'm trying to make myself work more and look at chicken sites less.... but every so often, I have to waste an afternoon chicken chatting! Thanks for the invitation!

Here's a reminder about a big poultry swap this Saturday, September 18 in Silex, MO.
It runs from 8 AM till noon. Action starts early and often goes beyond noon but in the past some people are starting to leave by 10AM.
This is the annual Fall Poultry Fest run by the River Hills Farmers' Market at the Central Elevator in Silex. From US 61, go west on Highway E through Silex till you get to the elevator.

Speaking of hummingbirds we have gone through 50 pounds of sugar so far... I've never had so many hummingbirds before. When do they migrate from south Missouri?

Gosh, we’ve only had a few, as in 2-4 at a time, but the females are still here. They say leave the feeders up for 2 weeks after you see the last one, that way you feed the stragglers....

I use Starbar fly traps and they are quite effective... which reminds me it's time to clean them out for next year. I hang them anywhere flies might gather for a safety meeting or discuss the nearest pile of poop.
