Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Game started at 6pm, or were you pregaming? What a game it was, too!

Girls are doing well, at least two laying. We've gotten an egg each day for the last 8 days, then two today. Seems they're figuring it out.

Hope all had a good 4th.
whoops !! My wife told me it started at 4,, but you know what a liar she is .. or maybe I did my usual "not listen real close to her" thing ,,

I put the cockatiel baby on C L.. got a nasty reply from a guy who said he didn't want to sound rude, and then commenced to "d@m this and HeII that" the price in the listing showed 5 while I quoted $50.oo in the write up.. C L puts whatever they please into that box.. I have no control over it sometimes ..

CC, you would be sooo proud of me,,
I didn't lose my cool,,
I sort of played it like "Et tu Brutus ?" remember Mark Anthony's speech ?

I just turned off the incubator,, It was not a good hatching year for me,,
JP picked up his few keets. and I told him I might just give up on hatching altogether,
He said, well, it might have been some bad eggs I brought over..
Yeah, I thought of that, too.. He finds guinea nests with dozens of eggs in them,, then he scoops them up and brings them for me to incubate.. who know how old those eggs are, eh

If I am going to butcher a dozen small hens, I had better do it this week.. they seem to be growing really fast since last week.. I know they are eating twice as much ..

what a game the US soccer team played, I seldom watch soccer, but this was special..
some of those Japanese girls could have passed as men ..

Hi guys :)
we had a very productive long weekend!
lots of running and work!
Does anybody here know about Silkies colors? I thought I had a Porcelain so.etimes also called blue cream. However as I am hatching chicks they are coming out in various colors! Blue black white partridge. And some that look porcelain. There is no possibility of a fence jumper. Other than the baby guinaes next door. But .... that is doubtful ;)
welcome to the newbies! You will Soooooo enjoy this thread :)
 
Good morning all....hope everyone had a great 4th!

Birds are all gone here now. I still have a couple coops to clean/disinfect and will probably take this opportunity to paint the insides as well. Then going to rototill the pens, add some sand and plant a cover crop. Hopefully I can start repopulating in another month or so.
So now I'm looking for hatching eggs....would like SQ LF Brahmas in any variety. By the end of next month I'll be looking for a couple POL pullets (any breed) as I miss having fresh eggs so much...never thought I'd have to buy store eggs again!
If anyone can help me out with hatching eggs for sale or pullets next month just send me a PM. Thanks!

Yep, pouring rain here too! Just what the gardens ordered.

It was also a great race at Daytona last night. How about junior Robin? The crash at the end was a doosy for Dillion.
