I was surprised to see you on there until I remembered you were the one who told me about it.

It is nice to realize that folks who raise chickens also tend to have other self sufficient thoughts that cause us to overlap in other areas of our lives. I sometimes have to pause for a minute to think about whether two people I know are likely to know each other - based upon the group within which I know them. I know folks who raise chickens, those who raise bees, some who raise rabbits, my friends from church, my co-workers and some know each other . I love how it is a small world.

That looks about like the one I caught in my dog pen a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it's not some spooky Halloween magic that made it do a "Weekend at Bernie's" over to your place.

Fortunately my dogs were inside at the time I spotted it. I have a little silver border collie female that was only a hair bigger than it was. She would have given it a run for its money, but it would have been ugly.

Ok i got very busy last night huntin another bobcat.However the compassionate side of me couldn't find myself to shot him even though he was probably 30 lbs at minimum. because he was in the exact same place as the last one I shot which was a female. He had cubs with him well one that i could see. I dont mind killing predators by no means But I can't find it in my heart to kill a baby Knowing I already took his mother. So I have decided to contact my state trapper to have them relocated.
So with that being said its picture time. My First Broody finally LOL

I have a cool "small world" story. Back in the 1970's my Gparents lived in Lordsburg NM, where my gma worked as a waitress. One day there was a young (their age) family coming through from CA on their way to OK. My gparents were very unhappy w/o green in NM and so struck up a convo w/ the other family about the move to OK, that planted a seed and my gparents shortly after moved to OK. They settled in Stigler area, and the other family they later (a few years later) met, they ended up in the Antlers area, they kept in very casual contact (a convo every couple of years or so). I knew the story and the peoples names, but never met any of them. Well fast forward to the 1990's. I'm grown, married and moved to Henryetta, working at the Okmulgee walmart, when this young family w/ 4 young children come in to the shoe dept, all the children are neat and well mannered w/ catches my attention, then they start all calling them by name, and they are all named bible names which causes me to strike a casual conversation w/ them (helping them find shoes anyway). Well it turns out the father of this family is the son of the people my gma met in Lordsburg NM back in the 70's!!!!!

Hi, first time here and am not for sure what to do. I am wanting some blue Ameraucana chickens. I don't show, I just want to find some pure blue birds that are also bred for the blue eggs. If anyone knows of any, I would love to find some. I have raised birds for years and like to find other breeders out there. Thanks

There should be a thermocouple from the gas valve to the pilot lite. The pilot flame will touch the thermocouple and keep it hot and that will allow the gas valve to open. If the pilot won't stay lit that is probably the cause.

Hi
Thanks for the reply on the blues, I only need a rooster if I can find hens. I would like a splash rooster if I could find one, with blue hens. I really don't want chicks unless there is nothing else out there. I would like to find this fall, if I can, that way I will be ready for spring.

If it's anything like a gas heater setup then it could be that the thermocoupler needs replaced.

Looks like friday nite quiet time!Guess everyone with kids is at school functions. Supposed to be a hard freeze warning for here tonight. I finally got my flowers moved inside today. Also brought one of my female mice in because she is about to pop! They do okay in the shed but I felt sorry for thr newbornes to be(plus I wanted them in where I could see them!lol). They are just another one of my unusal pets. Wife says "what in the world are they good for". Dunno,I just like pets!

Gotta get uo at 4 am and meet my friends and head to Louisville,Ky for the big pigeon show. Don't worry I'll bring lots of pics home to bore you all with!lol
