You're welcome anytime Al! Ya, we used to get more drop in just to check on how the hunt went (funny how they always managed to "accidentally" show up at meal time) There's always room for one more. Might wind up eating sitting cross legged on the floor but you'll probably not be alone

sitting cross legged is no problem - but, getting UP is.

Evening Ponders,
Everybody's in safe and sound, filled up on chili and fresh biscuits, saving room for pie of course which they're all planning on downing while they get the cribbage game started. That's my cue to grab my cuppa and crawl into my recliner and relax.
No luck today. A lot of does seen but no one has a doe tag this year. (Very few issued for our area this time). They'll try again in the morning. Hardy souls. The temp will be below zero when they head out to their stands in the morning (it's only 7o right now) so it'll be a hearty breakfast of fresh Polish that DH made a special trip to the butcher in town for, cooked up in a pot of onions and beer and (I'm sure White remembers that delicacy) served up on warm buns. I'm also sure at least one or two will "just happen" to need to come back in early for some reason that has nothing of course to do with the mulled cider kept simmering on the stove or all that leftover chili.

Evening all!

Had a bit of a bad day today. Found my very expensive newly bought ko shamo pullet dead Not a thing visibly wrong with her. I think something wasn't quite right with her internally and had been that way from the start, since the day after she arrived she was acting very weak and odd, but I had chalked it up to shipping stress.

And my ko shamo hen has apparently been so stressed out from just being in the same room (and I do mean room, they have their own entire room in my workshop that they're loose in) with the stag that she was afraid to eat, and has been starving herself to death. So she's in the garage and is now voraciously eating feed. I expect she'll recover, but it makes it hard to breed her if just being with the stag makes her stop eating, ugh.

But! I am looking forward to the show tomorrow. Gonna be meeting another ko shamo breeder that I know from Facebook, so I'm sure we'll be chatting, and I hope to come home with a few new birds Got my crates ready and have my alarm set for bright and early.

True that!

Glad all are back and happy, which no doubt they are with all that yummy food!
Id even be tempted to visit, snow and all, as long as I can stay inside.. I'll do dishes!!
