Jeannie did Jason even notice the added decor to the living room?

If someone had 100 of them, they wouldn't be as valuable.

For that price, you would want to build him his own room in the house and then hope he didn't die of a heart attack 10 days after you brought him home.

They start selling goats and calves at 2:00 and this week they are selling groceries after that.
Poultry related stuff starts at 5:00 cages, waterers incubators etc. then eggs, chicks and adults

Actually, Jerry indicated that they are going to sell groceries at 2:00 and then the goats and calves at 3:00 - followed by the poultry at 5:00. Groceries are a new addition today. They have been scheduled to sell goats and calves at 2:00 since they started doing that, but the general consensus has been that they never actually started selling them until 3:00 (did I mention waiting from 2:00 to 3:00 two weeks ago so I could bid on the bottle goats?)

Yea Stray! Glad you're coming to POOPS! Do you know yet who else from your family will come? I think your mother likes looking at the baby chicks almost as much as you do! I'll put you on the list and you can let me know who else whenever.

Just got home a few minutes ago, unloaded my new hens from Chuck. He seems in really great spirits and says he thinks he has most things they need. I also picked up 3 dozen of Maran hatching eggs, although they may be mixed. Which is all right, I am looking for some dark layers for just eating eggs to add to my egg eating laying flock. Although, I was going to try and wait, I couldn't fight my addiciton. I did fight the addiction for some really pretty Dominicker roosters. I need to look them up, they looked really similar to my Barred Rocks. Are they related or no. Well, I am not sure I am going to go to any more auctions this weekend since the sun is out and shining and seems like it is going to be a nice day. I might just get some of my coop building and such going today. I started cleaning out and preparing the vegetable garden yesterday. I can hardly wait for spring to get here to start gardening already. I may even get my greenhouse fixed back up for growing some vegetables, instead of chickens, LOL. I hope everybody has fun at the auction today.

I have some of the cutest babies in my incubator

My blue barred plymouth rock cock has three black plymouth rock ladies, and two blue plymouth rock ladies. Most of the eggs incubated for this batch were from that pen.

Thanks Sooner...okay, I'm kind of embarrassed about this, and I hope some of you will be able to give me some

instead of the

I've been giving myself.

Yesterday I was cleaning out the garage a little bit, and I cleaned out the big deck box that used to be my chick brooder but is now the container for feed, etc. I'd been arguing with myself about those frizzle bantam cochins I'd seen at Atwoods. I don't need bantams, I have so far been resistant to the Power of Foo - I like to think that I am a pragmatist. But the more I considered how easy (and fun) it would be to get a few chicks, the more my mighty resolve crumbled. So I went to Atwoods in Sand Springs with that excited feeling you get inside when you think about peeps.

Thankfully, they didn't have any more frizzles and there was nothing else that caught my chick-jonesing eye. So I left, thinking "that was a close call." But then I remembered that Sapulpa wasn't that far - I could at least go look!! They had more chicks there - and after several long minutes of looking into the bantam bin I picked up 3 frizzle cochins and 2 silkies.

I had buyers' remorse all the way home, and the angel and devil on my shoulders battled the entire trip.

Angel: Why did you get them?
Devil: They're cute.

Angel: You can't keep them.
Devil: But I can raise them to see what they're like and sell them

Angel: Where will you keep them?
Devil: The hospital coop might work for a while.

Angel: Cochins and Silkies are known to be broody breeds - something you don't like.
Devil: So?

Angel: You know those birds are all from Ideal, and their Silkies are known to be of horrid quality.
Devil: Everyone needs love.

Angel: You probably got all roos, dummy.
Devil: uh-oh....

So anyway. Whenever I start feeling really conflicted I just go out to the garage and sit next to the brooder and watch the flitty little peeps. I guess I'll worry about all the other stuff later. But this is so unlike me! Gah!!

They are darling wee ones, aren't they?
