***OKIES in the BYC III ***

I didn't get any pictures of his hen but here is the Shamo rooster. Which is residing in the house until their pen gets a make-over.

Teva had him running around the house and when she put him up she just opened the door of the pet taxi and told him to go to bed. He just walked right in there and settled in.

Here he is looking at the cat like he has found his next hot meal. LOL

A few weeks ago in Stillwater we bought a pair of dun bantam Shamos that came from Splitsocket222. Beautiful birds and they are still very young yet too.

Kass ,thats pretty good photoshop work making that dime look as big as those 4-6 pound tomatoes! Each one would make a meal! ( for an elf! roflmao!!!!!!!)Sorry had to dig you a little! The only tomatoes I had that did any good this year were my volunteer cherry tomatoes too.

Nice birds NN. That ought to spice up your breeding plans for next spring!

Faerie the hardest thing about hunting is getting permission to go on someone's land and hunt.

There are places that the state has that are open hunting areas.

Thanks Wayne. Hurry up and get back here so birds can be traded and auctions gone to.

Right now the hardest thing about hunting is figuring out where I even need to get started.

I'll figure it all out I guess. Gonna do some serious googling.

Start by getting a hunting regulations manual from the State Game Dept. or go online for it. If you are talking about equipment first decide what you want to hunt and go from there.

The trusty 12ga will serve for both birds and deer but with birds it can only hold a limited number of shells so it has to have a removable plug put in the magazine. The only difference from birds to deer is size of the shot.

On another note, I am intrigued by the idea of cooking radishes. I would never have thought of that.

I had not thought about it until I had a bumper crop, and they can't be frozen raw b/c they get mushy. I quarter them and pan sear (saute') w/ butter and seasonings, w/ a high enough heat to carmalize the outside. They are much less "hot" spicy, and a lot sweeter. I really like them, Gary is "okay" w/ them occasionally.

Then I tried them in a hearty pork stew and they were great.

I may try making radish kimchi. I've tried store bought cabbage kimchi and really liked it.

Radishes are awesome pickled or fried in bacon grease. Yummy!

What a gorgeous rooster :-O
Michael, I'd try no meds, cloves and dancing naked under a full moon if I thought it would work to avoid losing any more of my Cochin youngsters. Planning and building pens is therapeutic though.....makes me feel hopeful to look forward to a couple new birds. I think I'll stick with adults only from now on though.
