The coops look great!!!

Seeing your coops is putting ideas in my head. OMG

I said I was thru building coops but-----------

I got to figure out where to put all these silkies.

Mary...have I told you I love you?

Thank you so much for Saturday! I was nervous to just speak to that breeder!

Well I just thought (or maybe did not think

) that the worst he could do was say go away

or something nasty

.

I am just so happy that someone of his caliber in breeding would talk to someone like me that knows nothing but wants to learn.
You knew so much about breeding silkies and was so knowledgeable and I was just trying not to say anything too dumb.

Sometimes it just amazes me how doors are opened when I least expect them.

Amy Having a group of awesome BYC women with me made me braver.

Sometimes my sentences and words come out all jumbled. Was afraid I would say something really really weird. That was the one person I have been wanting to bump into!

That made my trip! My day! My week! Heck it made my life! Thanks again Mary!

I've been busy since Tuesday or Wednesday and haven't been on. Just finished reading 20 pages to catch up! I'm glad everyone made it through the stormy weather on Wednesday without damage. My daughter works and lives about 10 miles from where the tornado hit in Rock Hill. She had to work late, or would have been on the road in the middle of it. I told her not to ever complain about working late again-sometimes there is a reason for it.
Congratulations, Jackie, on your new little chick! That is exciting. I'm glad everyone had fun at the show yesterday and those who wanted chickens got them and those who wanted to resist, were able to!
Lou Ann and I added some shavings to the coop and let the girls out for awhile. They always make me laugh when they go running across the yard, flapping their wings, at least until they are doing that to keep from going into the run! No eggs yet, but I did notice that our maran was much calmer. Usually, if you try to handle her she fusses like crazy. Yesterday, Lou Ann picked her up and she only gave her a couple of small clucks. When she put her back down, she actually stayed in the same place instead of running off with the others. She has also gotten more of a comb, earlobes, and wattles in this last week or two. It's not going to happen before Thanksgiving, like Lou Ann had hoped, but maybe by Christmas.
Here is a picture of our Maranda, the Cuckoo Maran and one of the Silver Laced Wyandottes, Lacey. They discovered they could get up on this wagon and swing set frame and were having fun.

Okay, I can't stand it any longer --- WHO DID YOU MEET????? I have read back and don't see anywhere that you say WHO!

I want to know too. I read this and thought you'd responded to me.

Been watching for a pm here ... on FB....nothing.

Just realized you weren't talking to me. Blond moment. I'm tired. I spent the day at the Farmer's market selling eggs and talking to people about chickens and eggs and birds etc. Had a great time but I am really tired.
