***OKIES in the BYC III ***

We got some rain, not sure how much though the rain gauge is not on the way to the car, so I didn't check on my way to work. If I were guessing though I'd say maybe a tenth or two.

My girls are doing well they are out every day foraging the way out of the yard, I have been sprouting grains for them for several weeks now which they love, and they get dubias 3-5 days a week. Several went through hard molts, but the worst of them are starting to look like chickens again.

Spunkychickenmomma - I sent you a PM.

Sooner - Merry Christmas! Glad to see you online. I'm not able to read much during the week. I'm being super lazy this morning over a second cup of coffee before I tackle Friday's papers.

Robin - Hope the roo is better. Did you find any information about giving Penicillin orally? Post if you find anything. I've only ever used the penicillin as an injectable.

Coffee's gone . .

. Time to grade papers

. Just kidding... Time to grade papers

(If only wishing could make it true.)

Setting up breeding pens (on paper for now) for the spring breeding program. Looks like there will be 13 sets.... Gonna have to set up a tracking document and figure out a toe punch plan. And order some spiral leg bands....and get pens built...and the list goes on....

You are not the only one anticipating Spring hatching season.

I am new here, and new to chickens, so please bear with me. I love reading all of your post and hearing what each of you are planning and doing. It gives me so many ideas of what I want to do. As a brief background, My wife (of 40 years) and I ordered a Blue Silkie male, 2 females, and 1 White female day old baby chicks for next April. I have a small coop being built by my dad, and getting my fence repaired to keep varmits out. I love reading all your posts, and any advice you have is appreciated. Have a great day!

Well, to be completely honest, I also ordered a Welsummer male, 2 Welsummer female, and 2 EE females. All Bantam. All day old babies. Guess my dad's gonna have to make 2 coops instead of one. LOL! I'm already addictided and havent even gotten any chicks yet. Plus, I don't know why I got all bantams. Just wanted them I guess.
