PossumManor~~Kathie~~~my goodness woman, it's been a long time!! where have you been hiding out

So your down to just Silkies now? can't think of a better breed

ready for a new color?

Miss Lydia~~Trish~~know all about that ice skating thing....we had a water pipe break when the power was out, and before we could get the generator going....anyway, I forgot about all the water that had flowed out, and I went sailing this AM

my bones are too old for spills

Greenskeeper--did they put on a show for you with a dirt bath too?? our ground has finally defrosted enough that the girls were throwing dirt big time

I think in the spring I would love to have them hatch one of those multi colored ones you have. Phyllis is broody more than not, and I am sure she would take good care of it.

I lost my rooster in October, but now have Cecil. They pecked a spot bald on his neck, but after an hour they loved him. When I put out treats, Cecil eats last. Well, unless I give them tomatoes. Then he pushes the ladies out of the way to get to them. I spoiled them all when I bought a pound of dried meal worms. Now they think every time I go into the coop I am going to give them meal worms. I wish I could but I have not found them for less than thirty dollars a pound, delivered.

Anyone know a cheaper place to get dried meal worms?

I am going to figure out how to get a photo in these dang posts.

HAPPY HOLIDAY FROM ALL THE CHICKS AT POSSUM MANOR WEST....CECIL THE ROOSTER TOO!

Even chickens like holiday decorations:

Good Morning Kathie~~love the decorated coop!! I never even got the human house decorated this year...lol.

Yep--Phyllis is queen of the broodies; she'd lay about 4 eggs, then decided it was time to set. I've got two gorgeous Partridge roos right now you could have

and a good morning to all my neighbors----looks like everyone is sleeping in...I'm gonna go feed the birdies their breakfast (rice and mixed vegetables).....see you'll later

I cannot have a second rooster, but I would take one of those eggs some time.

Have you checked craigslist....I get fresh live mealworms from a lady in Raleigh. Way to far for you, but maybe there is someone closer. Its $10.00 for 1000 worms. We are trying to grow our own. Got some growing, seems like forever.

Morning all, I get my meal worms on line, don't have time now to look it up going to Wally world with my dh don't know how this is going to turn out, anyway will talk to y'all later.

I have always gotten mine from a guy on ebay. $30 for a pound. I will check craigslist, and I will wait to see where Miss Lydia gets hers. I do not think I could deal with live ones. The dried ones are icky enough.
