Thread seems slow today. Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the wonderful weather. We've been shopping for building supplies all day, so I'm worn out. I hope the good weather holds so that we can get the new pens roofed without too much difficulty.
We lost a banty rooster today. He was bitten by a little black snake a few days ago and had been lame and lethargic as a result. When I checked him this evening, he looked like he was asleep, but he was gone. I've looked in every nook and cranny in the barn to be sure there aren't any more snakes. It's nearly winter. It's too late in the season for snakes. I hope there isn't a nest of the little biters hidden under the stoop.
Can somebody post the lowdown on the December show in Shawnee? I'm curious about folks selling birds there. I know the birds in the show have to be tested, but are the folks selling or swapping required to register, test, or declare their intentions to sell/trade birds? Will the birds being sold be traded in the parking lot, or is there a seller's area inside? Thanks in advance. I'm hoping to go for the day on Saturday, and I want to know what to expect.
