HOOSIERS Only - INDIANA - Ru1?

[joebryant]

Let's have an exclusive thread just for us Hoosiers; after all, we ARE the best looking of all men, strongest of all women, and all of our children are above average, i.e., Garrison Keillor has nothing on us. Let's make ourselves known to one another.

Introduce yourself and/or your chickens. Have a question or information to share? Need help? Want to buy or to sell something? Know any gossip?

Is anyone interested in a nice EE roo? He is very vocal and doesn't seem to be aggressive at all. We are in southern Pulaski county and don't want anything for him. Here's a pic that was taken last November.

Welcome sdsmowen!

Gale, when I'm stressed I go pet a chicken...lol! Yeah, if my income was coming from crops (or being supplemented with crops), I'd be stressed too. I just grow a garden for hobby/leisure, and this drought has me stressing over it. I think we need to plan a mass car washing day across the state - that is sure to bring on rain....

Hi, neighbor! I sent you a PM.

My name is Joe. I live southwest of Greenwood, thirteen miles due south on 135 from the circle. I have a wife, Anne, and two grown children, Rex and Kate. Rex lives in Lafayette, and Kate lives in St. Augustine, Florida. I have seven bbs Orpington hens that tolerate one black rooster and one blue rooster, all from a line that I developed over a thirty-month period, six bbs silkies, five of which came from Little Ameraucana Mom, and eleven bbs Orpington chicks that I hatched from eggs that I was supposed to have thrown away for three weeks after medicating all my chickens to prevent respiratory problems. A fellow Hoosier will be coming to get those eleven chicks in a couple of weeks. I've incubated my eggs and given eggs, hens, roosters and chicks away to quite a few Hoosiers who now have my line of bbs Orpingtons, and they're as proud of them as I am.
