***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Picked up a few bags of feed today. Any word on when feed prices are going to top out?
Anybody notice if dog feed has gone up? I am stocked for 2 months prob, but need to know how much I should add to my ever growing feed budget.
Dinner was take out from Billy Sims-- so yummy!!! Then the girls & I watched the RNC-- Alexis said its like a concert for old people.
On the way home DH spotted a dog on our rd tonight that he said was skin & bones. It was too skiddish to catch. He came in & found some old bowls for feed & water. Went & tried to find it again. He looked for 30 min & then left feed & water where he saw the dog at first.
He did find a cow in the ditch sleeping right next to the rd, she stood up but refused to move so we don't know where she came from. Hard to see tore up spots in fenceian night. I spent some time calling neighbors trying to figure out who it belonged too. Cattle really should be tagged better! Everytime I call & say black heifer yellow tag #000 no one seems to know if it is theirs! How about initials & a number on the ear. That would help me narrow down my calls!

Mitzi that is one pretty boy! Sure hope the baby turns out just like him. Sorry you lost the handsome boy!

I may have a 4 week old chick that i thick is a roo which is going to be black or possibly blue, if you are interested I will hold him for you.

Surely out of the 3 dark Cochins I've hatched the past 2 wks one will be a boy. Not like I need a boy anyway. I've got 2 Silver Laced Cochin boys, and too many Ameraucana and Araucana boys I'm trying to place. If one of my Cochins turns out to be a roo I really hope it's the one from the Brown Red boy you have.
Thank you for the offer though.

Sadly lost the paint showgirl and its silver white hatchmate. Neither would eat and I was having to force-feed them. Expected to lose the silver white, as it never acted quite right, but thought the paint would make it. The third hatchmate, a blue showgirl, was just fine from the beginning. I had to force-feed the two lavs that hatched 9 days earlier, but they fairly quickly showed interest in eating from the toothpick and eye dropper, where the other two never did. I've force-fed quite a few tiny chicks, usually with success. Some of them just show no interest in eating, and it is 100 % certain they'll die without intervention.

I think the hot summer babes have a harder time, maybe because of the excessive heat during the time they were laid and brooded. No less sad though. Was so excited about that paint babe particularly.
