Well okies... I've done it. I ordered an incubator this morning.

Hope my relationship makes it through my new toy

Good morning everyone! Does anyone know where I might be able to buy some Red Star pullets in or around Tulsa county?

 

[Sooner]

Wow everyone just left~

I don't think I know anyone with Red Star.....sorry.

Robin, that's wonderful that you took the time and trained the dogs. I've had over a dozen dogs for (literally) 20 yrs now. I don't have the luxury-or the trust-to spend the kind of time you did training them. Once they've mauled the livestock I just can't find it in me to ever trust them again. Since the last of my Pyrenees died I haven't trusted ANY of the dogs. The Pyrenees were gentle & sweet with everything, I'll never find that naturally again in a dog.
NanaKat, the White Faced Black Spanish are so pretty, I love how they look! Do you know what their temperament is like? Same with Modern Games & Shamo, awesome looking birds.
I'm really hoping to find 2 Faverolles hens for the pair I've got in Shawnee in Dec. Does anyone think I might have any luck?
MJ, I've become so attached to the little Silver Lace Cochin pair. I know they're not show quality but I could care less about that, let's face it-neither am I. Sigh. I'm putting those 2, the 2 Blue LF Cochins from Carl & the 2 Cochin Bantams from Robin (the yard bosses-haha) into an 8'x20' area. Part of it is roofed, it's 6' tall pickets and it has it's own access door into a 5'x7' area of the other wooden building. So he'll get his own little Cochin harem-too cool for such a sweet boy. The only one who'll allow him any liberties at the moment is his little Silver Lace girl, the 2 big Blue Cochins don't think he's worthy yet. But I figure he may get lucky over the cold winter snuggled up with them lol Surely they can't ignore his charms forever, he's such a good caretaker.
Firefly, you only THINK you're hooked on birds! Wait til you hatch some of your own, it's a whole different ballgame

I just found out from Faery there *is such a thing as bantam EE's. I've actually got more room than I do birds now & will have the 2 lone standard EE's in a 40'x50' yard with their own 1/2 of a wooden building with 1 7 yr old Barbado hair sheep. Don't you think that yard is just begging for a few Light Brahma & bantam EE's???? Yea, me, too.
SSHavny, I don't know of anyone with Red Star pullets. I have 6 RED Star hens I got at a swap meet last summer who are egg-laying machines! I feel so sorry for them because they were debeaked. But they sure eat fine. If anyone knows where to get any kind of bird it'd be Michael D.

I'm popping in and out today, cooking and cleaning w/ some BYC breaks! lol

Just finished my husband's breakfast pizza biscuits. I make a weeks worth, he can just pop one in the microwave and carry it w/ him in the mornings on the way to work. It is a recipe I invented he loves them.

I need to go to the store and get some coconut silk (milk) so I can make a couple of veggie creamed soups today too. I found a great buy on broccoli this week so I'll make creamed soup out of the stalks, I have several winter squash that would make a great creamed soup.

ohhh i love that name!!! betcha she was a precious baby !

She was an adult rescue. The people who had her before called her lilly bud, but like I said she is a lab / rott mix and to me lilly is curvy flowing feminine and she is more of a tank. (well now she is when we rescued her she was ematiated) Anyway the name did not fit her and I didn't want to call her the same thing the people who left her to starve did, but she was a grown dog so the name had to sound similar and Little Bug just fits.
