INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

I know this is a long shot but i have to try. I live between madison and versaills Indiana i have lost my dog. i am just heart broken. she was just spayed 7 days ago i am offering 50 dollars to who ever can find her and return her to me. if you are in this area please keep your eyes open for me.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope she returns home to you soon! I'm too far away to b of assistance to you in finding her but I'm sure if any of the thread members are in your area they will keep their eyes open.
 
Off to bed to sleep off a crummy night. Lost 2 birds to either a coon or a coyote. I got outside in time to find one. She had a broken neck and died in my arms. I feel like I failed them. I know those of us that choose to free range always run this risk, but it just stinks when we're reminded of it. This is my first predator loss in over a year... Boo on naturre.

So sorry for your loss :hugs. Amazing how beautiful nature can be one minute and how ugly the next.

Well, I had another 1/2 dozen day today. My new hens are doing great!

Lazy question - will their eggs get larger over time?

This also means I'm ready to cull my slacker. This will be my first chicken processing, and I'm both excited and a little nervous. I still haven't decided how I want to dispatch her. I've thought of a dozen ways but they all seem too complicated. I over-think everything, and sometimes it's a real pain.
 
Here is some pics of my birds at the fair.
Meat birds


Splash Ameraucanas


LOVE this pullet! She did great. I am expecting good things from her at state and Lebanon. She actually got to go inside a bank on check out day lol.


Blue Ameraucanas (there are two chickens in there even though it doesn't really look like it). Really like one of these pullets too


White Plymouth Rocks (they were very stressed out at the fair, I have never seen them act that way)




Mottled Cochin Bantam (he was originally in one of the bantam cages, which I could barely fit in them. And then thought I would be able to get him out. Anyways I got him out and after the show I put him back on the shelf with the bantams in one of my cages.)


Head shots of a Splash Ameraucana (the one that won the reserve's)




White Plymouth Rock


So I have two broody's now and I decided to just leave them alone, besides giving them fertile eggs. The White bantam Ameraucana is laying on a bunch of feed bags beside the freezer that the food is kept in and the barn wall.


A production red is sitting here. I kind of scared her off the nest, but she came right back after she ate and stretched her legs.


This is a feeder that I built. Using them in my breeding pens.
