Mornin' Vicki

Luckily, it doesn't take me too long to worm them all. I was surprised how receptive they were the last time. Need to build a small run for the Silkies today too, that won't be quite as easy. I have made cuts in them too, now just waiting for the gal that wanted the "pets". Bought another one of those little "el cheapo" chicken coop kits for them. I have one that I've been using for the Marans chicks, and it has held up much better than I thought. Saves me much time and money, and they are light enough to move with two people. Going to try to build an "A" frame run for them, that should be a hoot!

Well if anyone can it's you. She knows, or should, that you are willing to work on varieties in progress. Just convince her that you can help her with that?

haha...I was just thinking the same thing. It turns into a hilarious mess whenever I go to do stuff like that. Its like the first couple are unsuspecting, then the others get wise and turn into big babies and run and hide. Its pretty funny really. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm a nut with all my birds haha

Uh sure...be right there.

I may get it all done today, but I won't be worth two dead flies tomorrow. Oh wait, I have to get more feed in tomorrow, so Tuesday, I won't be worth one dead fly!

I just tempt them all in the coop and shut the doors. Worm one, throw it out. Got to make sure the roos that oppose me handling the women aren't in there though...

I am patiently waiting on the Silver Blue Salmons too.........just going to have to hit her up harder, I guess.

Blue Birchens and Silver Blue Salmons running around would be heaven.


Hear that Bev......no rest for me until I get me some of those pretties...
