well they made it...took 41 here...and by wi/mi border they closed down the hwy after they drove thru...they got here safe...mom and aunt loves the birds...

quick question for everyone...back in the 1920's they (the united states) developed a kind of chicken called a lamona...i did research on this bird and they are said to be nearly extinct in america now...well i have found someone that has them....any thoughts...on if i should get them...seems like a lot of pressure to get a bird that is nearly extinct...huh...my family was promised a pair of them...because they want something that our family has hybridized...some duck or something...is what they want...

I say go for it! So cool to be helping a breed!

Sorry BL4--pred suck it big time for sure! I wish I could help you get some of your bloodlines back but they werent so successful here as you know!

I am missing all of my chicken peeps greatly! Heading to make the Bash thread now!

Seems as though we've both had good news on being Cancer free recently. Congrats Vicki! The stress for me waiting for the news was killer knowing the fight I had and always assumed it was back with all the trouble I was having. Finding out I had Ulcerative Colitis and stomach ulcers was good news considering what the other could be. Glad you got good news.

My BLRW are finally fertile, was giving me a scare after all the money I've lost this past year in bird accidents. I'm over 80 birds growing out in the house with a few in lockdown right now. Can't wait for swap season to finally start. Was thinking about going to the Jefferson swap but can't justify the 4+ hour drive one way. Just got my BBS English Orp eggs, they lost the package again coming from St. Paul This is the second time in a few weeks this has happened. If the eggs don't start I will be filing another claim on them. I only have one more shipment of eggs coming, Swedish Flower hens. If they continue to have issues with shipping, I won't be buying anymore hatching eggs. I do have a shipment of Speckled Sussex chicks from Lancaster and a Cream Crested Legbar chicks from Papa's Poultry yet to come. Iv'e been hearing alot of bad stories about the USPS lately on shipped chicks arriving dead. Hope it doesn't happen in my case for sure.

Babies growing like a weed. Walking all over now and starting to talk although I'm the only one who understands what she's saying.

More good news! That' great, Sclark73!!

HI All!

Birdman.... glad they got home safe! How bad could it be to get a new (old) line of birds? If you got the room, why not?

Sclark.... I think you mentioned a while ago you were cancer free (congrats) but I think you had some other stuff in the post that probably distracted from the good news.

Night All!

might not be the warmest morning, but not bad to work out in ( no wind!!). Chickens are out scratching and happy.
Just happy I don't live out east.

Bummer birdman, but at least your family made it safe

Where is the new cabelas? We ventured to Richfield this time. I hear sometime this year they'll start building one in Sun Prairie. If that's the case I may visit my friend in the big olé city a bit more often as she lives on that side. (But then again maybe not the city and I don't always agree haha)

 

[Kildare49]

I heard Sun Prairie as well. Get some parts out of McFarlanes, will need to check it out when they open.

Yep your right Cindy, I posted right after I got the good news. I did recently get a letter though from the biopsies that said I'm not lactose intolerant but my body is not processing the lactose correctly. I can't remember the term they used but I have to watch what I intake. They were doing more testing to see if they could pin point the cause.


Almost forgot to share a pic. She's so amazing you have no idea and beautiful!
