Okies in the BYC The Original

[QueenPeaches]

Good Evening everyone.

Just got done brush hogging about 1 1/2 acres of pasture land with my Lawnmower....

Montana was there helping me all the way up until the lawnmower put him to sleep.

Now when I finally get someone here to brush hog, they will only have about half to do...

Which means costs me half as much... and it gave us something to do today, once I got tired

of being inside the house.

Sounds like you have found a new way to get Montana to sleep - some mom's put their child in their car seat and start driving until the child falls asleep. You put your child in your lap on the lawnmower and he falls asleep during the ride. Of course, it would be a challenge to hold a sleeping child and steer a lawnmower with one hand.

Yep, and I don't feel any shame about my chicken obsession. I just saw pics of some newly hatched bantam cochins on the Mille Fleur Cochin thread and know that I am completely helpless to fight it.
While I was gone my chicken house that I bought on ebay arrived. My hubby put it together and suprized me. It took him 20 min, (was made in England so the hardware was metric but no problem) I hope the chicks like their new home. It is a splurge but with many time savers built in; no. 1 -easy to clean. I'll get some pics up soon.

I think there is a disclaimer on the home page about the BYC forum being addictive. The Okie thread is especially addictive.

Your hubby sounds like mine. He doesn't particulary care about poultry, but he added a tarp for shade to my duck pen and reset my former flight pen for pheasants so that it would be more varmit proof, so that I can use if for guinea keets if the hen that has been sitting on a nest for the past two months ever gets any to hatch. Some guinea eggs that I have placed in the bator have hatched so I know that at least some are fertile. I think her sisters keep laying eggs next to her and she just can't cover them all so she rolls some out and some in - but may be rolling out those that are partially developed. Of course, in this heat, I had two eggs that hatched out 24 hours AFTER the chicken hen abandoned them so that she could brood the chicks that had already hatched.

thats what i did today, the teenagers and the main flock are getting along pretty well, the younger ones aren't there yet... so they have stareoffs between the fence....

please be praying for the twins, they are still in the hospital, they will quit breathing periodically- so they are trying to get them stable-

LOL.... Too Funny, well maybe you need a side car for the lawnmower!!!!! I turned my son loose mowing on my riding mower when he was 4 and he did pretty good.... I didn't mind if he couldn't keep it going straight, I just put him on the seat with a cement block to hold the seat down and put the mower in low gear and turned on the blade, showed him how to turn off the mower if he wanted to stop or got where he could not turn around with it, Of course I stayed outside and kept an eye on him, he had a ball driving all ove the back yard!!!! when he got tired he would come up to the house and turn it off and hop off of it!!!! Of course two weeks after he got his drivers permit last year he called me to come get his truck and him and tow it home cause he had a wreck in front of Walmart!!!!! He was fine, I pulled the radiator out of the fan and pulled the grill off and let him drive it home!!!! His grandpa had fun rebuilding and repainting the truck for him........ Boys will be boys..... now if I can survive Dakota and Heather!!!!!! LOL GNITE ALL, I am tired, have a blessed day, and Stimpy may the great chicken gods protect you and and watch over you, Praying for a fast recovery!!!!!! Severly in need of a POOPS FIX!!!!!!! Lynn

How particular are you about color?I have a partridge banty that has some gold lace on his hackle feathers. He is only about 9 weeks old so I don't know exactly what he will look like yet but he should be pretty.
