OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

[Mr Feeney 1]

Hello Marc,
I'm looking for a new female companion for Mr. Feeney. He is an Emden/Toulouse cross. He is older (don't know his age; he was purchased at an auction with 5 of his companions who were sold for meat - terrible. Anyway, what kind of geese do you have? Any nice older females in either of those breeds or even another breed? His mate was a brown China. I'm happy to come pick her up!

Beautiful ducks! Alright, I'm reaching out to yall for non- poultry related info. We have been discussing relocating and which states/areas to look into. Dh threw in Ohio, I said southeast portion. We're looking for rural area (of course!) but near enough to heavy equipment operator jobs. Any suggestions as far as a specific area or company to look at? Of course since we currently live in the Appalachian Mountains there is experience on coal/gas well properties etc. We're country folks that don't really do well in big cities like Columbus

Good luck, I live in south central Ohio.

OK, I have to share my excitement, as well as a funny picture. First, we finally had our first egg, and we ended up with two first eggs on the same day! One of my barred rocks laid her first on Monday, and not to be outdone, around 4 in the afternoon, a black australorp laid her first egg as well! We have 6 nest boxes, and they both fight over the same one, the barred rock hogging it for an hour at a time, while the BA stands there and hollers at her. Finally, the BA gave up and laid in a different box, which she now views as hers. Other than one day, when the BA didn't lay, we've had 2 eggs each day since then.

And now for the funny picture... My chickens love to stand on the front porch and peck at the front door for attention. Today, they had a long staring contest with my lazy, indoor-only house cat:

Bunnies are cute. Might do market rabbits next year for fair, get a good 300 or more for them you can keep them if you want, but we will sell them off at lucasville or something.
