Carl, did you repair the mower or get a new one? Speaking of mowers, I guess i should go put the blades on mine so i can mow.I have to go work on a friends truck in a few hrs.

Pardon while I interrupt this thread with pretty pic's of pampered piggies on parade, Philm at 11 (perhaps)

Those are gorgeous! What breed are they?

Ksane, yes the Guy Rose Auction is on hiway 177 south of Stillwater and North of Perkins, it is every Sat. has poultry and rabbits and such on one side and junk and collectibles on the other, they have two auctioneers going at once, it usually gets started by 10 am, lately there have been lots of eggs, chickens, roosters and such, some cages sell, if you are selling birds, if you get there early enough you can use their cages or your own. They stop everything at 12 noon and sell hay, round and square bales usually, then go back to usually just junk and such, poultry is usually over by noon. Lynn

I'm not seasoned enough to muster up the heart to sell any at an auction yet, maybe I'll get that brave in a year or 2 I know myself and I'd be in tears watching the tiny babies I'd raised up there on the auction table. I'm trying to get good at placing them personally into homes 1st

But that auction *does sound like something I'd be interested in and I'm going to try to get there next weekend if possible.

Was at TS in Weatherford today. They had a quart of vit. mix for chickens for 12 dollars. Took bottle around to horse side and had a gallon of vit mix for horses for 29 dollars. Read label and it was exact same mix and made by same company. Just shows how comapanys try to take advantage of poultry folks.

What's the name of the stuff?

I just dont look anymore.... And If I do, I dont count.

OKracefan was thinking of a coop with double pens....
Here is one I've been thinking about....it is in rough form yet...still need to think on the electric, etc gates into the pens would be on the same side as the door into the coop building. Pens could be as long as space allowed. Could even extend the roofline out to offer shade to the pens.....It's a work in progress. Thinking 4 x 8 plywood

Morning all, looks like Steph has been having a ball chatting up with everyone. I am glad she has been having a good time she really deserves the break from everything else going on.

In the event anyone is interested I have 3 Pair of top notch Black Rosecomb bantams that will be ready for the upcoming show season. From top show stock and very well developed for thier age with good heads and combs. I also have a few Blues I could spare just not too many.

and anyone that would be interested in some extra OE cockrells I have some of them too, as well as an abundance of Columbian primarily pullets. I will be out working on the yard 13 days straight of 12+ hour days at work I'm starting to see that I was slacking around here.

The whole idea of turning the incubator off probably isn't going to work out too well, I have another hatch coming off today and tomorrow they have already started and just put a few hundred more in to start incubating a few days ago. I may just cut back and only hatch from certian pens, we will see how that works out.

Hey Carl, I got the babies settled in okay and I recognize the 5 little Buff Columbian pullets, but what is the little brown/black/gray one with the eyeliner? Sure is a cutie!

Looks like a bunch of us are working outside today.

And we just knew you wouldn't be turning off that incubator....

Quote: They are Pot Bellied pigs, at least the mother is the father may be some other kind of small breed pig he is a little bigger than her and has a ton more hair she is hairless by comparison I felt bad for her all winter but she didn't seem to be bothered much by the cold, The babies are just adorable and very hard to catch as I found out this morning LOL

Brassy Back pullet, the only one I had left over kind of escaped the sale of all the others somehow. You and the grand kids will love her, they always have a real "pet me" personality and where the ones that showed great, but always wanted to be held or sit in your arm, shoulder while you do chores.

Mitzi - yes they are from Bill! They are hilarious, such little spazzes, but I don't think getting attention will be a problem!
