Hehehe, yeah there's a feller that sells chicks or something over on the old sale barn parking lot.

This area is beautiful, that's for sure!

Speaking of armadillos... I have two that are in the process of tilling up my yard every night. The plus to this is that maybe I won't have to deal with many June bugs this summer.

Just as a point of interest...... although hubby isn't personally enthusiastic about chicken auctions and/or get togethers, he keeps giving Jaxon a few dollars here and there so that Jaxon can buy himself a duck or baby chickens.

Jaxon knows exactly where his money is and he is bringing it with him to POOPS.

Jaxon really likes the few naked neck chicks that hatched - he may be switching his favorite chickens from silkies to naked neck chickens.

P&B,


I have a saipan sitting a clutch of eggs.

I've another one that wants to be broody but I keep cleaning out those nesting boxes every day. She was quite put out with me when I took the two little eggs she claimed (not hers).

What kind of insect hatches from those white grub worms? Are those June bugs?

Right before my Saipan went broody, she was going around and eating every egg she saw laying on the ground. She got a bunch of duck eggs and all the eggs that were bait in the live traps - while I stood there and watched her break the shells and eat them. I tried to put some other hen's eggs into her nest before she went broody and if there was any difference in color, she ate them.

Aren't Saipans wonderfully unique?

Wow, never had one do that. Yet... lol They are certainly unique!

I am excited about POOPS because.....I'LL GET TO SEE MY BYC FRIENDS THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR AWHILE.

Jaxon will quit asking me "when are we going to that chicken thing again?" and Jaxon and I will have a great day seeing all the varieties of fowl that we don't own.... yet.

I am excited about POOPS because..........I can spend all day play with chickens and no one will look at me like I am some kind of freak.... Ok I am still a freak, just you will not all look at me like I am one. Right!!!!
