***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Buster52]

Yeah Buster. Hope this cuts down on the vet trips & keeps the birds safe. I always like to know my dogs are earning their keep. The neighbors got new mini horses this weekend & they got out in the rd. the dogs quickly got the horses back where they belong. I could really use a snake catching dog around here, then we would be doing real well.

Yeah, I have a feeling this did the trick. That makes 4 GP/Anatolian mix and a black lab.

And a chihuahua for bait.

I don't expect many problems in the future.

That is awesome, glad you were able to get some reinforcements for her.

Tina, Sam says, "Hi! back atcha" and he loves his new cage mate. I guess he just likes big girls.

I opened the cage door this morning, but neither of them have ventured outside at all today. They are perfectly contented to sit in that cage and watch the world go by. Some of the bantam cochin youngsters have ventured in there to see what's going on, but Sam runs them back out. He isn't letting anyone in there but his big blue girl friend.

Chicken magic, indeed. If Sam can make Kevin Hall admit that he actually likes chickens, I may have to change his name again, to Miracle Worker! But, it's just nearly impossible to watch the little guy without smiling.

Buster, it looks like you have a pretty good security force there. I hope they can keep the varmints at bay. We have a mutt and a blue heeler/australian shepherd that stay out at night. So far, they have been able to keep everything from skunks and racoons to coyotes and bobcats away from the yard. It probably helps that our entire yard is fronted with a big pond so access is limited from that direction. The varmints do get some of the barn cats, but I'm sure it's because they go hunting at night instead of staying in the barn where it's safe. Keeps the population under control, though. I don't have a good snake dog, either, but my "chicken compound" is lined with sheet metal laid sideways and so far I haven't had a problem. The 12 gauge takes care of the copperheaded-rattle-water-mocs that come across the pond.

Nanakat, that is an adorable baby cochin! Does it need a new home??????

Sooner, if you would like some hibiscus, I have more of the Texas Star (and, yes, it is red) and also more of the Confederate Rose which blooms pink in the morning and turns red by evening, or blooms white and turns pink. At any rate, it changes color! I love hibiscus, too. I can't say they are my favorite, though, because I love so many flowers I could never choose just one.

Mitzi, I'm sure glad your baby is doing better. We've all been worried about her, whether we say anything or not. Dollar signs don't count for much when you love something.

Well, I'd better get back to the weedeater. This week is my gardening and yardwork catch up week.

Well, you should have learned after the first time, she can't be accountable for your lack of learning!

That's for the "heifer" comment, and

one more for good measure!

yeah i am a little slow at learning.

and i thought "heifer" was better than "old cow"

ohhhhhhh this is gonna hurt! i can feel it already!!!!!

ouch! quit it! stop hitting me!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Poco Pollo]

okay no way can I catch up on 14 pages right now. Hope everyone is enjoying the cool day and getting stuff done!

My nine babies I got at poops are all doing great.

Poco Pollo, you still have those kittens? My 5 yo was so sad you didn't make it to poops!

Yes. I still have them. I was sad I couldn't go to POOPS this year as well. I can't bring them to N.E.O.C.S., but I can invite you to come by the house after N.E.O.C.S. is over to get a kitty (or a lot of kitties!) Will that work?

[Greybear23]

Hi all, just now getting on after Poops, would like to thank all that had a hand in making it a wonderful time! My kids and I really enjoyed it. I actually got home with one less chicken than I took!!! Don't know how that happened!!! Well I should be getting my internet hooked back up this week so maybe I can keep up with the goings on!!! Have a great day all!!! , Lynn
