Morning Okies,
 
I need everybody to think happy thoughts for a 14-week-old cockerel who is starting his journey from northern Illinois to Haskell, Oklahoma.  He will ride for 12 1/2 hours with a volunteer driver (somebody traveling south who agreed to carry a chicken).  The cockerel's name is PIP.  He was rescued by concerned children, and he is now a beloved family pet.  He needs to be caponized so that he can remain in his current home.
 
I should be taking custody of PIP this evening.  I'll post when I've got him settled in his temporary quarters.
 
Kelly - Valentine and PIP will have the same surgery date.
Dusti - Your cockerel will be in the same group.
 
PIP will need two days to get acclimated before starting his fast, so I should be doing the surgery on June 4th.
