P&B good luck sorting birds. I think newcastle auction should be a good one with the nice weather. Turkeys are a gamble, since it isn't quite time but if you hold on to them & weather turns bad or cold you will miss the turkey season. I try my best to say we have more birds than we need but a little girl always disagrees & dad won't back me up. If you ask every bird here serves a purpose, even if only 1 girl can see the purpose.

Hello all. Just wondering if someone might have a hen or pullet or two that will lay blue eggs that they'd be willing to sell? My granddaughter loves gathering the eggs, and is fascinated by the colors of the eggs. She had hens that layed brown eggs, but thanks to the heat and a fox, she lost her beloved chickens. Now we've found her 3 hens, and they lay tan eggs. I think she'd be thrilled to go out and find some different colored eggs, and absolutely thrilled if there was a blue egg. I live in Perry, and it would be very helpful if I didn't have to go far. Thanks!!!

I don't think my poultry count will help either but I might win for variety ... we have 23 meat birds until tomorrow when we'll have another 25, 7 barred rocks, 4 RIR, 3 white leghorns, 1 EE rooster, 1 mottled cochin bantam, 1 silkie, 1 golden sebright, 5 white holland turkeys, 1 buff runner duck, 2 swedish blue ducks, 12 cats, 1 snake, 4 rabbits (one of which is pregnant), 1 three toed box turtle, 1 red eared pond slider, and 8 ornate box turtles and, to my knowledge, that's all ... but I do have children and a husband who could be keeping things from me. Oh wait, I also have 2 silver laced wyandottes, 2 rir x barred rock, and Scrawny (which we don't know what is). Do I get to count the skinks that nest in my greenhouse and the doves that are roosted on my porch and eat from the chicken yard and the squirrel who thinks it's hysterically funny to throw pecans at my turkeys?

I think you might get the prize for variety!

Thanks Mitzi, I hope I find one too. Glad to hear the girls you got from me are doing good.. I knew they would thrive in such a good home.

Channel 4 news showed a guy who is trying to get his tiny egg in the world records. Think we had some eggs that small at poops. Guess we should have weighed & meassured them.

I need to find some more Lav. Orps. One of my 2 pullets has just disapeared. Guess something go her while they were in their free range pen. I don't get it there is no sign of anything. I am guessing the owl that has been hanging out here. She was in with the two young lav roos and my big CW Roo and he is good with the girls he is with. So if anyone in the OKC area has some young pullets 3-5 months old I need them. Guess it is back to the hoop house for my other 3 (1 pullet and 2 roos) so that I don't loose anymore of them.

We also started a new project for the birds. We are growing fodder for them. I bought 100# of barley today and we will see how it goes. I know the birds will love it I am curious to see how it impacts the feed bill in the long run. We will see.

I have had chickens for more than 3 years now and I think I love them more than ever. I am plum crazy about them. They are so beautiful and funny.
