Robin...are you saying the Muskovys are going to be illegal or did I read it wrong?

yep- here is the link to the thread-

(g) You may not acquire or possess
live muscovy ducks, their carcasses or
parts, or their eggs, except to raise them
to be sold as food, and except that you
may possess any live muscovy duck that
you lawfully acquired prior to March
31, 2010. If you possess muscovy ducks
on that date, you may not propagate
them or sell or transfer them to anyone
for any purpose, except to be used as
food. You may not release them to the
wild, sell them to be hunted or released
to the wild, or transfer them to anyone
to be hunted or released to the wild.

in sure orneryness, i'd like to have a couple prior to the end of the month!!

so what is a good starter breed? and anyone have any around here?​

The problem is you cannot breed them legally

This is crazy! I'd never even thought of such!

Glad to hear of the testers class at Tahlequah; closer for me than OKC! Just called Marie to see if they'll have the renewal classes also. The renewal classes will be at 9 a.m., and the new testers at 1 p.m. They're not taking reservations yet 'though.

EE chicks?

Usually, I try to be the enabler instead of the enablee - but when it comes to fluffy faces and pea combs, I am a goner.

I read through the whole bill and my understanding is you can breed them and sell them for food. How would anyone know if you ate them? My muscovys bother nothing so I am not getting rid of them. That's ridiculous.

She had told me that there was also going to be a class in Okmulgee this year. I'm on the call back list for that one when the sign-ups start. It is sometime in June, also. I thought the 9th?? I'll have to go back and look in my notes. It was Marie that I had called, too. I spoke to her about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully it hasn't changed!

Donna : Life is good and the sun is warming my face, I have a good day planned so we shall see LOL. The Samich was way too good, Italian Pastrami, sharp provolone cheese, genoa salami, sharp swiss, and some Copacola hot spiced italian meat, all on dark german wheat bread with mustard and mayo.

I admit it, I'm now officially grumpy this morning.

However, I'm mitigating that by thinking about the fact that I have 2 MFC pullets coming from one of the most well known breeders... and I'm so excited about that.

Morning everyone...

Chores are done.. DD is making our Thursday Waffles... YUM... DS is putting some ceramic eggs I have into the nesting boxes to see if they really do encourage laying... as we only have just the same 2 girls laying... Cruella and Betsy... although Betsy has started laying her egg outside?

Hanging with my favorite chicken people, looking at cool birds and stuffing my face with nachos. Life does not get any better then that!!
