WElcome Natedbrbr!! He is a pretty roo. Hopefully someone close will be able to get him. You might also try craigslist or Golsn.

Countrypunk and I went to the Elkton Ky. sale yesterday. It was agood time. We both came home with new birds and new money so thats always a plus! I got a beautiful EE bantam roo,he is almoost solid stark white! I had never seen a white one like that before ,and he was perfect in every other detail also. And his little mate layed a blue egg on the way home! I now have two of the best EE bantam roos I have ever owned! Can't wait to see chicks out of both. I also picked up 7 serama chicks,already feathererd out for 75 cents each! For some reason the people at that auction don't know about seramas and how rare and expensive they are or something because they never do good price wise there. I was tickled at the quality and variety of colors. Looks like 3 roos and 4 pullets too so thats goo.d.

Okay I washed bothe cars this morning trying to make it rain,sure hopr it works!lol.

Thanks Donna and Carol for the boxes. Now I just have to fill them up. ha
I was thinking it would be nice to stop for lunch and was wanting veggies well I wound up at Ryan's eeewwww. Never again. It was awful and the place was packed, and in my opnion over priced for the quality of food. I was hoping to at least enjoy a meal out which I NEVER do because eating alone just draws attention unless I am sitting at the bar. I feel like people stare and feel sorry for me, and wonder why I do not have anyone to eat with. Well I am used to being alone and do lots of things alone, but I don't like the pity stares. Not to mention the food was awful. Oh well I am not hungry anymore so whatever.

Now shall I take a nap or try and pack. Found out last night my hubby is not coming home till Thursday. Stil not sure how long he will be in for though. If we dont' kill each other trying to move it will be a good rotation home.

Connie how are things you way? If you need me or anything just give me a call sweetie.

You are very welcome. I'm just glad I'm not the one moving! LOL! I am sorry that I wasn't home, though. I had looked forward to meeting you. Maybe next time.

My husband and I were talking today about how we hardly ever go out to eat because it is so rarely worth it. I'd rather have a BLT or a bowl of soup at home. The only problem with eating at home so much is all the dirty dishes it creates.

I have realized the past few days how the eggs from just seven chickens add up so quickly. I'm not sure what I'll do with all the eggs once the new chicks I've ordered start laying next spring.

Well I rarely cook since it is just me and I used to eat at the nursing home with my Granny to get veggies and stuff. But well I can't do that anymore. I know my days of eating out are numbered with a new morage and all but I was hoping for just some good home stlye veggies. If I wanted canned goods I could do that at home for a lot less then 14 bucks.

Far as the extra eggs go sell them to help with the food bill. I love your little tractor btw. You know what would really look good at your place....................a little Showgirl. haha Ya know a little yard candy! I usually take one everywhere with me and when I sit them down in the yard and they just kinda peck around, then walk back over for me to pick themback up most people are just in shock. Spoiled absoutely spoiled. I can get them talking and everything. Oh and they tend to follow my voice when they are put down.

I packed a few boxes already today to add to the pile I have been working on all week. So what happens when I run out of room to stack boxes? This stinks so freaking bad.

He would enjoy that too much!!!! Do it!!!!!!

BTW: I candled one of the Ameraucana eggs and it is alive!!!!!!! so far

What would I get if I breed Split x Split (probably will not do that) but what is it? I am going to need another roo... I just know it.... Dang

Got to get on those breeding pens

Got to go visit Becky and get some eggs too!!!! Next hatch if all goes well.

Yup you need a roo

but a lav split x lav split unrelated would be a percentage of lav color and lav split black in color I would think anyway. I am waiting for sone to grow out 4-5 more weeks then my breeding pens will be open for business. Oooh can't wait.

hey Natedbrbr,
I'd love that roo if no one else has claimed him yet. I've got a couple young girls that are right in his color pattern with no roo. I think I can keep them seperate through the winter and let them meet in the spring. I work in Nashville, but I can get him one evening if you're ok with that. He'll be taken care of here.
