Well I head to Detroit sunday for a 3 week job training stint. I will only be home over the weekends and will more than likely run to my coops first. I made a detailed care list for my husband and son. (yes I know it may not be followed to a t) The guys are great with them but they don't do things like I do, but it works as well. I am going to miss my chicken watching and training the Cochins will be set back unless Jeff can get them to respond to him.The 2 pullet cochin have been coming when called while Stumpy looks at me and only comes near if treats are offered. They guys are rather nervous should any unfortunate things occur with my birds while I am away. We have figured out my mothering instinct has gone to chickens since our son is 22. Has anyone else done this? lolol!

Will anyone near Columbus Ohio have female muscovy hens for sale in the spring? Lavendefs, lilacs, ripples, barreds, blues, whites, etc?

My new camera arrived so I had a test run of it yesterday. I wanted to share a picture of my new little pips. They were full of energy even after I put them in a box to try and slow them down.

Well, of the 12 Buckeye chicks we got this spring, 2 died early in the brooder and 7 of the remaining 10 turned out to be roosters.

So, sent two of them to freezer camp this past weekend. Going to send four more to freezer camp this weekend. And, will keep one.

Friend of mine showed me a very simple way to process them that doesn't involve scalding and plucking.

Also found a good article over on Backwoods Home that takes the skinning one step further and yields a bit more meat (http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/grim79.html). Might try the BWH method with two of the four remaining roosters so that we can have a couple carcasses to cook up and can for broth.
