Thanks sooner! She is a sweet girl, I am glad she is hanging on.

When I was reading about fundraising queen, I wasn't jealous @ all!!!! I hate fundraisers. Not sure how you do it. Think girl scout cookies ruined me. Thousands of boxes in the living room. Days standing out in the cold selling them for my troop to get .40c a box. I know all troops are expected to sell cookies, but the time invested doesn't make sense financially. How many yrs have you been doing 4h? My girls were tired of girlscouts after 3 yrs & honestly so was I.

He/She looks like the hen. I cut all the hair away from her face so I don't know how much good a picture will do. I have to go medicate my mom's horse a little later and I'll get a picture then. There's a tiny bit of a comb (it's a mature bird) but no wattles. Then again the bearded ones don't have wattles and she's bearded.
Maybe I should name 'it' Pat

We are in our 3rd year of 4H, we really like it. Lil'Sooner's project is poultry. Never did girl Scouts but did boy scouts. We only fundraise once a year as a rule & we are selling raffle tickets for a deer riffle, so no product in my house.

Glad to hear every little birdie is doing great. Hope the Blue silkie is a girl!

Doctored Popeye and Splash early this morning. fed and watered all the birds.
Watered the veggie beds..loads of turnips up.
Fed the dogs and gave Gracie her antibiotic. Her incision is healing nicely without an Elizabethan collar.
Helped the boys set two H posts in concrete for a new gate in a pasture fence. They have now gone to feed on the leases.
I'm making lunch. Roast pork, corn on cob, fried potatoes and a salad. Amish Friendship bread for dessert.
Then it's pick collards for MIL, doctor the two again and then we have a soccer game for granddaughter later today.
Hope to get a short nap before fixing dinner and doctoring the third time before bed...gonna be a long day.

Hope everyone has a great day at NewCastle...would love to be there.

Goats are the same way. They can suck the leaves right off of the stems and I would just clean out the stems and throw them to the horses. Was win-win. Or it can be ran through a chipper-shredder and then ran through a food processor to get it very fine and then rehydrate it.

We used to get cow pea hay for the horses that wasn't harvested and as the horses ate peas would fall out of it and the chickens would get them. Everyone stayed fat that winter and it was cold too.


Treat the vet that ya'll found like he is made of gold. It's very rare to find a vet here in cattle country that will treat a chicken.

Here is a list of poisionous plants from Cornell University. It lists what piosons are in the plant and the species that are affected by them.
