MM - Pictures? We'd love to see them. I forgot to take pictures of my new OEGB today. Maybe I can do that tomorrow after work.
Sooner - You could ride the whole way with a pecan pie on your lap. Better yet, you could have a piece of pecan pie on the way there, just to be sure it's okay for the rest of the group. ... I know what you mean about not having the time. I'll see you at POOPS for sure.
I moved my two-month-old birds outside today. They wouldn't stay in their house when it got dark, so I double checked the hot wire and let them sleep outside. I hope I don't have a bunch of runny-nosed birds in the morning. I'm really pleased with the White Chantecler and Buff Chantecler chicks. They're not skittish, and they have an amazing undercoat of downy feathers. No wonder they do well in Canada. The Jersey Giants they're growing up with are larger, but don't seem as hardy. I can't make out the sex of any of the Chanteclers yet. They have minimal combs and wattles, and so far none have any color in them. Maybe by the end of next month they'll start to spar or try to crow. I'm anxious to know how many are pullets.
I have an empty seat in my Matrix for anyone in my neck-of-the-woods who wants to go to Fletcher for the auction/pot luck but can't go alone. If you're going and have a large vehicle and an empty seat, I'd be glad to help pay for gas. Let me know. I'm going to start cracking pecans on Thursday.
