WOW that threw me for a loop too, I like BC had assumed man, then saw the DH..

This reminds me of Ivie's dudes and dudettes list she wanted when she came to BYC.... MAybe we do need one!

LOL guys! I have it but have not kept it up-to-date and it is amazing how many chickeners have fallen off our thread since I started that list.

So good morning chickeners! Sun is shining in my eyes at this table while I write. 'so move!' you say. Silly me. Gotta go to Monti for errands this a.m. No point in moving.

It rained for about 10 minutes last night! We got about 1/2 inch, that is the third rain of the whole year....
I have been busy lately, cleaning up around the coop and making plans to turn my current coop into a show bird/breeding coop. This weekend we are going to a neighbors to a look at a grainery they offered to give me, I would use this a laying coop. I am hoping it is as big or bigger then my current(10x12). If I get that grainery I have to move out the nest boxes in my current, and put windows and roosts in and it should be bird ready so a nice and easy day project.
Two days ago I saw 4 langshans for sale, I just could not resist so I contacted the person since he has really good birds. They are all around a month old, 2 Blue pullets and 2 black cockerels for $45 plus whatever shipping would be which would not be a lot since they are still very young. I am not to interested in doing blues as I have my handful with the Cochins but I would like to do blacks. I am still talking to the person as they would rather sell locally but no one locally has shown any interest or said anything. Hopefully he gets back to me today

Still alive ! Another Chiropracter visit . Got to share this in case it helps someone . I stopped taking my statin . Aches and pains are getting better because I quit . It is hard to know if it is age , work or meds . It seems meds were a large part of it . Janet quit her statin this spring . She said even her toes hurt . Hey I bet I could of found BC Sunday by following the smell of cooking blueberries . Got more done yesterday as I could walk around better . Hope to get more done again today . Walking without the cane . Still walking slow but improving .

Hello. I live in south central Minnesota. I'm looking to get some bourbon red turkey poults as close to January 1 as possible. Anybody know anyone that hatches early turkeys?

Do any of you do DLM in your run? Does that work with our weather?
