how old is your bared rock i think it look like it may be a BOY due to the lite color and the sadel feathers and thikness on his legs it looks like a young cockerel to me

Does anyone have any information about My Swap pages? I keep seeing links in people's signature lines, and when you go there, you see pictures and read descriptions of things that person would like to swap. I have seen some What Have You Got To Swap? threads, but by the time you get to page three or four, there's no way to keep track of what has been swapped already. It's confusing. Is there an Okie well versed in My Swap Pages? I'm thinking this would be a good way to let people know what they are bringing to POOPS and NEOCS, if they want to swap.

I guess the State didn't feel like I needed a snow day

was in training all day and have to do more tomorrow this is my 24Th year of the same old training, I wonder just how dense they must think I am to still need the same classes every year,

My birds don't seem to concerned with the snow they were all still tucked in when I left for work this morning but they've kicked most of the snow around looking for worms that were caught off guard by this bizarre attack of normal February weather LOL I'm ready for Spring now,

My Soapbox for the day
I stopped by the post office to pick up a small package today, I have instructions to them that no deliveries other than normal mail be put in my mailbox that I will make the trip to town for all packages,
The Postmaster asked me why I didn't want any packages especially if they would fit into my mailbox delivered,
I told her that things get stolen in the rural areas quite often and I don't have a door on my mailbox due to the carrier not closing it when they put things in it and the next person collecting their mail in the same row hits them with mirrors or whatever gets too close,
she said that there was going to be a mailbox improvement thing coming up and I would get a notice asking me to repair or replace my mailbox,
I ask her if the post office was going to buy the new one? she informed me that that wasn't the post offices responsibility,
I asked if it was the carrier's responsibility to close the doors on the boxes when they put mail in them? she said yes that it was.
I politely requested that she make a run of the route that my carrier has and count all the boxes that have no doors, in the row on the highway where I live there are ten boxes and eight are missing the doors all for the same reason, She says that she is new at this office and would look into it,
I've had a broken door for the last 9 years on three mailboxes the doors don't usually last more than a few months so I quit replacing them and just deal with mail being sucked out of the box by passing trucks (there is always someones mail in the ditches) and soggy wet mail when it rains, The packages being left at the post office is because the carrier puts anything that won't fit into the mailbox in a plastic bag like a walmart sack and hangs it from the flag,
About 8 or 9 years ago I ordered several pounds of red wriggler earthworms to start a vermicomposting project and the package was stolen,
I still get a chuckle out of imagining the look on the thief's face when they opened their spoils on the dinning room table and out spills thousands of worms..
the seller in this case was very nice and had no responsibility to replace them but did at no cost I just had to cover shipping,
Okay now I'm off my Soapbox, time to go finish feeding and watering LOL

Noooooo! We were kinda thinking that for awhile, but lately we are convinced it must be a hen. If it is a cock we will have to find him a new home. Anybody else think its a boy?

We got it in very early November. It was big enough to live outside, but quite a bit smaller then it is now.

Coral I do think the swap page would be good. But I agree they are hard to follow & understand. I plan on using my BYC page to post have & wants for poops. But I don't want to start taking request until mid- March since what people have & want changes frequently.

Ksane glad you caught the guineas! Don't remember who was seeking guineas. Guessing your last lady got lonely running around alone in the cold.

Anyone have big plans for tomorrow. Not sure if DH & I are doing anything. He is off work this wk, but he MUST finish all his projects this wk. next wk he picks up a new cycle of soldiers & will be working @ least 15 hours a day & lucky if he gets 1 day a wk off.

 

[Elwood Lightfoot]

I'm thinking Roo also,

I'm also thinking your neighbor's dog isn't a bit camera shy
