hey june, do you ever sell hatching eggs?

poco- you could always sneak me a pullet from june on your way back from shawnee!

Robin, if your put a pullet with him, you will no longer be #1 in his life....

He will still be sweet and friendly, but not the same.

yeah- you are right... he is sitting on his towel on the back of the couch a happy little camper...

the other pair are little clowns.... and have become beggars- they are very fond of peanutbutter!

Goodness Gracious! We don't exist! I just got an e-mail from Fed-X telling me they have a big package for me but can't deliver it because our address does not exist.

Very strange way to say they can't operate a GPS. The package/box weighs 78 pounds. It was ordered by DH, so I'm clueless about its contents. I called Fed-X customer service and talked to Roxanne. What a neat lady. She's got detailed instructions to the house and will do her best to convince the driver that we do indeed live at the address on the box, and that he needs to try delivering it again before it gets dark.

Cool thanks! Since we're going to be down in that part of the country anyway we'll probably go.

There will be an auction at Blanchard this weekend. We will have the heat on. Going to try to keep everything indoors as much as possible, Good luck to all of the BYCers going to shawnee.

It is most likely a Pekin, they are a larger duck very popular in the asian community. Very easy to raise just messy. If you allow the hens to sit them out they will raise them for you. allow them to wander your yard and you will have no sand-burs (goat heads), stickers what ever you want to call them.
dressing and cooking them, there are many ways, the method I have found that I like is deep fried.

Just going by the head... which was still attached... I didn't think it was a pekin, but what do I know. It also didn't have much meat on the body at all. I'll also need a recipe. Anyone cook duck and would share a recipe?

I've got the cookie tins already, got them at the thrift store last week-but what kind of bulb sockets?

I did get some at walmart, they are just the regular one's for a lamp replacement kit. They are completely sealed inside the tin so no water gets to them. I sillicon any openings where the cord comes out. Some have posted in the past about what about the chickens picking at the cord, well mine could careless about the cord & don't even look at it.
