Just checking in. Want to welcome all of our newer members. We're all pretty new here.It's been a busy summer for everyone I'm sure. Once the chores dwindle, and the weather turns colder with shorter days, we spend a lot more time chatting here, so don't give up on us.
lovinchickypoos, omg. omg. omg!!!!! It must have been a small trap. I've heard if PePe can't raise his tail, he can't let you have it. I might have felt compelled to call for DH to assist, but you knew just what to do. You rock, girl!!! I am duly impressed. I've heard of people tying a rope to the handle and then dropping in lake or whatever for awhile, and retrieving via the rope, but you were much more humane. I'm glad I don't live near this habitat area though.
smurphy 2000, You might check at local fairgrounds for a poultry show. There was one early this spring at the Monroe fairgrounds, but maybe there are some in the Fall someplace as well. Also, learn your way around this website. There are many forums, and maybe you'll run across someone needing to reduce their flock. There's a "Buy, sell, trade" thread. If you've decided on Plymouth Rock's, then find that thread under "Chicken Breeds" There's also a 24 hour auction which I love. You'll find something on this site I'm sure.
Hope everyone is having a good summer, good harvest, good eggs, good everything.
Talk to you soon,
Vicki
