I'm bringing a pretty good white silkie (she's a silver white to boot) and a pretty good blue, though she's on the darker side. I'm also bringing a blue showgirl who has a really pretty light colored body. Don't especially want to give her up, as I have none other with that color, but I just have toooooo many. Mixing showgirl silkies with regular silkies will result in mostly silkies. And they won't be carrying the naked neck gene, because it is dominant and WILL show up if it's there.

My wife decided to close up the coop late last night and scared the bejeebers out of me. She ran screaming toward the house like there was an axe murderer after her. Before I went to get my gun she finally calmed down enough to tell me about the snake curled around the post that holds up our nest boxes.
It was 6 feet long at least!
No, 7.
8!!! I swear! And as big around as my arm!
Kept getting bigger all evening. Anyway, he was long gone by the time I got there. I had decided I wasn't going to kill him but rather catch him to have Al or Jeannie or somebody ferry him up there to you.
In her defense, it was pitch black outside and the snake was less than 2 feet from her at about stomach level. That probably would have freaked me out, too.
I'll keep my eye out for him.

Betsy - you have such beautiful birds! If I didn't abhor broody chickens so much, I'd be knocking on your door. By the way - are Showgirls broody like Silkies?

Thanks Kevin - someday I hope you can come back for one of these get-togethers. Or better yet, return to the Promised Land to live. It would be so great if you and Doodle could move back here. Ah, Oklahoma! Where the weather is always temperate, the wind blows only as a gentle breeze, and there are no biting insects, serpents or rash-inducing flora....zzzzz....zzzzz....SNORK!

Good evening everyone. How are ya'll doing?
The Silkies and Cochin are coming to POOPS. The guineas are not. They have already been sold. I just found out this evening.
I will have a pair of white Silkies and a pair of partridge Silkies. There will also be an unknown white Silkie and red Frizzled Cochin.
They are just starting to feather out, so I'm not sure on gender.
I will also be selling out of all my quail. Andrew has decided that he no longer wants them They weren't the right breed to begin with. Originally he just said that he wanted quail and as soon as I brought home the Coturnix, he specified that he wanted Bobwhites.
I am working on getting the cages ready for tonight. I will put the older birds in their cages tonight and then move the babies in the morning. I will be leaving here as soon as I can. I am SO ready for tomorrow.

(this is my very tired self posting) We've got almost everything loaded - birds, cages, boxes for people to put chicks in, raffle donations, auction items, b/s/t items, feed, eggs from all my birds sorted and put in new little plastic 6-count egg cartons..... and I think that's it, but I'll still be loading baby chicks and ducks in the morning!
Hi Ya'll!!!
Got everything ready to go for POOPS bright & early. Bringing some standard and some bantam chickens along, and some chicks also. Got chips, cookies, water & all that. Got the HD video camera & the regular camera ready to go.
I will be shooting video and regular photos, & will post them online for all.
See ya there in the AM!!
