INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[EmilyOfIndiana]

Anyone know where I can get some good, Cochin eggs or young hens? I only need one or two. Figured I would ask here before I went and looked to order some.

She let me know that she "feels unwelcome" and "won't be coming back."

There you go. Problem solved.

I have spent the last hour catching up on the thread and I'm just rolling with some of the back and forth comments from Too Fast and Old Salt!

It has been just too hot, I know I don't want to be outside for long, I can't imagine how my chickens and turkeys feel.  I'm doing everything I can to keep them comfortable, fresh fruit and all..so of course I'm seeing interesting waste deposits all over the back yard.

I'm still waiting on the first egg from my girls, but who wants to push those out in this heat! They would rather just flop around in the dust!

I have some younger birds in another run and they have become little Houdini's jumping out when I have the door open. I just LOVE chasing scared little chickens!!! And some does the dog (Australian Shepherd ((pregnant in this heat)) - really using her herding skills now).

I'm picking up some Bantam Cochins tomorrow as my birthday present to myself.  All I wanted was chickens! So I will get to spend some time dealing with quarantine and introduction!

***And welcome to the new Southern Indiana people!!

Good luck with the new chicks

Shawna- my mil is awesome. You can borrow her anytime. She too thought my chickens were in the house too long (they were) but was funny about it!

My aunt used to do that naked thig when answering the door. Stopped us from coming over for years, lol.

Your comment reminded me of a story my son-in-law told me about his trumpet playing days.

He was on the band accompanying Carol Chaning in Indianapolis some years back.

Her manager said "Carol does a lot of quick costume changes. She doesn't bother with a dressing room. Some of you guys may be tempted to take a quick peek. I advise against it. Think about a couple of oranges in a couple of socks."

Senator Claghorn?

You sir, are the winner. Look for a dozen eggs in the mail, any time soon now. If you don't get any thru the mail, check your flock for delivery!

Senator Claghorn spoke was known for some windy speeches, and he had a nice southern drawl. I got the info from watching some Loony Toons DVDs we have, with some over-commentary talking about specific characters.

I think of Foghorn Leghorn whenever I see our roosters out and about.

I have 6 Buff Cochin. 3 pullets, 3 roosters. They are 2 months, 10 days old. $30 if you want them. I live in Lebanon, 25 NW of Indy.

Nah. I think I'll stick with the roosters.

The character of Foghorn Leghorn was directly inspired by the popular character of Senator Claghorn, a blustering Southern politician played by Kenny Delmar who was a regular character on the Fred Allen radio show. The rooster adopted many of Claghorn's catch phrases, such as "That's a joke, ah say, that's a joke, son." Delmar had based the character of Claghorn upon a Texas rancher who was fond of saying this.[1]
A leghorn is a breed of chicken, and foghorn describes the character's loud, overbearing voice.
According to Leonard Maltin the character's voice was also patterned after a hard-of-hearing West Coast-only radio character from the 1930s, known simply as The Sheriff, on a radio program called Blue Monday Jamboree.[2] The voice has similarities to that of another Mel Blanc voice: Yosemite Sam (a strictly Friz Freleng character).

Ain't wikipedia great?

Ah knew, ah say ah knew ah shoulda stipulated that no internet look up would count on this game now, son. Back in my day, there was no such thing as the internet. At least until Al invented it.

John, you must skip one day from donut diving.

Emilyofindy- I think my neighbor/ friend has some Cochins. Not sure if he has LF or Banty. W live east of Columbus.

I've been cleaning out my nests. I like and so do my girls...soft grass hay. Had some from a couple of years ago and it's Thierry fav. Tried straw they don't seem to like it or shavings either.

And yes my leghorn( who was supposed to be a girl) is aptly named Foghorn!! And is a very "randy" boy!!!
