That is SOOOO cool!! You all should be very proud of yourselves and your chickens!!

I was on the front page of the Sunday Claremore paper earlier this year. I'm an internationally published astrophotographer with a home observatory, if you watch any of the shows about the universe on the science channel (& Others) then you have probably seen some of my better photos.

When I showed the paper to my Mom she said it was the first time anyone in our family had been in the newspaper and handcuffs had not somehow been involved..... she was so proud!

Yea i hit the auctions
like so many others dogs almost wiped out all of my chickens we were down to three hens and my wife and I started to go to the Blanchard auction last summer
it's only 51/2 miles from the house.
then we started going to the Lexington auction on monday nights
I'm back on swing shift now so I can't hit that for a while now
and we went to the Fletcher auction twice now and plan to hit it this next saturday
my wife says we now have about 50 chickens

Quote:
Hey OldTownChickens! Are you a regular auction-goer like some of our folks on here? As far as I can tell about us chicken people, there are three things to watch out for: Chickens/Chicks, Poultry Auctions, and Hatching. If you can do that you may not catch the cluck sickness...but it hasn't worked for any of us...

Anyway,

Well, I'll probably see you there, then. I'm gonna get me some of those free hotdogs even if it costs me a fortune to do it!

We'll have to coordinate so we can say hey.

Thanks, Grace! I will run out and buy a newspaper today! It's hard to see Liz without her white hoodie on.

5 out of 8 birds on Champion Row was BYC owned.

Now, it's out to grab chickens to wash for next weekend.

The Seramas had a lot of broken feathers so I clipped those off with scissors. (You are supposed to be able to pull hard feathers out 3 days later easier after clipping first.) Corey saw them and asked what I had done to her chickens. Sometimes, it's funny how kids act when they think you just messed up THEIR stuff.
