[Gunmama]

Hope all has a good 4th. I went out and took a few pics of my chickies today so I have to share some with u guys!


This on is Hunny. She loves it when I bring her treats. She is my Australorp.
This one is sugar and I am pretty sure she may be a Jersey Giant.
This is Pinky a cochin we got off of MJ. Here is Mr. Spotty, another MJ cochin. THe other wouldn't let me get a good pi so maybe tomorrow!!
This is Elvis, my Spitzhauben Cockerel!
Last but not least is my Silver Laced Polish Pullet named Elvira.

Okay I am done for now I promise!!

Yes they are all pure Icelandics! I had two hens left after the fox attack and they both went to setting. One was on their eggs and the other is on Ice eggs from Greybear plus some game eggs from him. My mutt hen is on ice eggs and WCBpolish eggs.

Congrats on your baby kitties and chickies!

Doodle - Congrats on the chicks and the kittens. Your Icelandic hen looks like a no-nonsense momma.

Gunmomma - Neat pictures. I think Elvira is the perfect name for your Polish hen.

Hope everyone has a splendid 4th of July!

We drove back to Choctaw this morning and picked up the three remaining heifers to calve and brought them home. Besides losing the one that was pulled, another heifer successfully had her calf last night. These 7 girls were not supposed to calve until September...looks like the 8 month old bull that was running with them until we took him out was very capable to do the deed! Not what we intended! The little momma that lost the calf was doing great this morning. she stayed with the dead calf all night but moved on with the herd this morning. You have to give animals a chance to accept death naturally.
Edit to add: Checked my notes. The girls went to the right bull IN September rather than being DUE in September....whew! Keeping notes only helps if you READ them.

Going to do some shifting this morning of the flock. Need to move 32 growing March born chicks off the floor to the outside. And want to move the broodie CW's inside. I have CW eggs in the incubator that will hatch about the time the broodies do so I want them to take on the hatchlings. So I'm going to switch their locations. These chickies need more space! I really need another large covered pen....but this will do for now.



You were in Choctaw today and I went through Meeker. Thought of you as I was traveling down the highway!

He has started to crow. Hubby keeps saying he sounds sick but I think it is so cute. Kids love him! He is a beautiful lil guy

Buckguy20 If you were on 62 Hwy east of town, you passed right by the house. We are just west of the Sale Barn on 62. Thanks for the thoughts...can always use them. Next time you'll have to stop by.

Quote: I always love to hear the little roos practicing. Right now we have several old enough. Brings a smile every time. Nice pictures

Feeling proud of my main dogs today. We had a hawk attack and they about took it out. If it was about 2 seconds slower they would have. They don't like critters messing with their chickens.

Which makes for interesting days when we do processing.
