In reading the thread I have just found out about POOPS!! Can anyone attend?? I would love to get involved. I am so new to urban poultry!!
A new addition to my flock are two Chocolate turkeys and two African geese....will they get along with my chickens?
I had one Indian runner Duck (Rosie) for 8 weeks, I bought her a play mate this weekend (Lilly). Lilly was probably 6 weeks old when I got her, her bill is a weak color, compare her to Rosie and Lilly looks like she has had a rough few weeks of life!
Any thoughts on potential vitamin deficiencies that could be causing my new little Lilly's beak discoloration??
Lilly is pretty wild, she has not been held or loved much, she runs off when I approach with treats (grapes are everyones favorite). Does she just need a little more TLC or will she always be a scaredy-cat? I hope not! I love having both ducks on my lap. Rosie is a ball of love, Lilly seems on the verge of a panic attack every time we cuddle.
Any Thoughts??? HELP!!

I have a lot of things on my list for today Wayne, but I doubt I'll get everything done. I have a script to go over, but that's icky office work...
A couple of weeks ago I had a big old hackberry tree cut down that was close to the house. In the '07 ice storm a branch fell between my house and garage - and I couldn't get out of my back door into the garage. (THEN)
Glad to finally have it gone, and I've already transplanted a Jap Maple from Jack's house to that spot. Now that it will get more sun, I also moved some of the volunteer liriope (monkey grass) and echinacea (purple coneflower) over there. Jack has my camera so this is an ugly cell phone pic. (NOW)
Lots of stuff I left to overwinter in the garden is coming up - I am somewhat surprised it survived the cold this winter. I don't yet know if the tomatoes or okra will come back - usually so many tomato plants come up volunteer that I don't plant them anymore. I planted onions in the late fall and garlic in early spring, and that is coming up. Yesterday I put in cucumbers and today I might put in squash and in a week or so beans. (please forgive another ugly cell phone pic)
I also plan to power-wash the veranda this afternoon and move the houseplants out there in the attempt to get it summer ready. This is what it should look like this summer - I sit out here with a cold glass of iced tea and listen to the bass thump of loud rap music in car stereos as they screech down the street, the neighbors fighting and cursing next door, and occasional gunfire in the evening. (My neighborhood is not that great, but it's not really as bad as I describe sometimes.)

You would enjoy it Wanda - and I'll bet your DH would, too. Several Okies who have brought their "non-chicken loving" kids or "non-crowd-loving" significant others find that said people are often very willing to come back to the next POOPS. You are in no way obliged to bring chickens to sell or to buy chickens if you don't want to. It's fun to go and meet everyone and to look at all the different poultry there. Oh...and there's food!! It's a pot luck so there is always a wide variety of good eats.

Hello beautiful people!
I will have my testing supplies at poops. I'm still working out what to charge, it won't be much just a bit of change per bird.
only birds that are 4 months and older will be tested.
Btw, if there are any ladies going & are up for sharing a room for the weekend, I'm staying Friday & Saturday night. PM me.
Wayne, thats a nice looking pair of games!
