Hi Everyone!

Been lurking for a few days so I thought I would check in and say hello.

So who is going to Cement on Saturday? I am planning on going, can't decide if I am going to take some birds to sell or not. If I do it will only be a few mainly EEs. I have some really nice colors but too many.

Sounds like everyone is struggling with this heat. Lost a young turkey the other day, just keeled over it looks like, right by the sprinkler and water trough.

So far I have lost 3 of my best EE hens and the turkey. Everyone else seems to be doing okay. They all have access to plenty of water and lots of shade, which is the best I can do for them. I am really blessed that my place has so many big trees, that has helped all of us. Going to get more automatic waters built once I get the new pens put together. I have enough barrels to make waterers for the new pens and old ones.

Speaking of new pens, I am so excited about the two kennels I got at Maud. Have had to make some modifications to them, which has add about $60 to the cost but for less then $100, total, I have two 8x10 kennels, I am not complaining. New breeder pen and a new quarantine pen. Yeah!!!

Well I better get out there now that the sun is setting and get some work done before it is too dark.

Hope I get to see some of my BYC friends soon.

As you have already seen from the responses to your request for birds, you have found a wonderful group of folks who enjoy enabling others in the acquisition of more birds than you ever thought you wanted to own

Welcome.

Michiele - Wonderful pictures! I expect your two groups will "work it out" and become a single group fairly soon. Chickens are social birds. They enjoy company.

I have a little roo that has a leg problem. Can't find a wound but he won't put any weight on it. I am watching to see if he improves but it is doubtful.

He has a pullet friend that is always by his side. There are other young birds in the pen too but these two are almost always together. If I have to cull the little roo I'l feel so sad his pullet friend. This part of chicken farming is HARD!
