So will we. Thinking about trying to sell some birds for the first time, see how that goes. We have way too many!

Our 25 Dark Cornish chicks came in yesterday, and they are beauties. So, I'll be working on a future home for them. I have an old truck I picked up cheap at an auction, so I'm thinking about turning it into a mobile coop for pasture raising these babies with electric netting for a boundary. Build a little house for them on the back I can lock up tight at night.

I hate to bring everyone down, but if you could, please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

My uncle was a preacher in Slapout, by the panhandle. Yesterday he was mowing around the church and was attacked by wasps. He is extremely allergic, he did not make it. He and my aunt have a 20 year old son who is extremely mentally handicapped.

Thank you everyone.

Got 17 beutiful silkies intoday, man they are good looking little guys. I put them in with the 4 turkeys I hatched out from Carlas eggs and 2 puffed up like toms. Look like i may have 2 pairs. I took the turkeys and some older chicks out of the brooder and moved them into the yard and moved some silkies into the big house.

After the very fun and successful spring 2009 POOPS event there was much interest in having a fall event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. As always Monty will be seeking Donations for the clubhouse rental and the cabin reservation info at KOA. We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs.

Well we are kicking around some ideas, we need some input from everybody so we can get the ball rolling, once we have a few concrete plans cityclucks will start to post them.

We are trying to get together the Chickendales dancers, we have a large wheel of fortune type rig we plan to use creatively, and maybe searching for some talented members to show us their stuff. We could use everybody's ideas please !!!!!!!!.

POCO : What are your special talents, do tell.
