Anyone looking for two Silver sebright cockerels? They are 7 weeks old and doing great. Handled often and friendly, but could take you or leave you as far as they are concerned

Here is a pic of one of them at about 5 weeks old.

Early race day to everyone....yep...X2 on your loss glarner, I was so far behind on the reading that my small brain doesn't always comment on posts, but I do absorb them all. Just had a coopers hawk after my last and only black java...she made it away unharmed, but scared for sure. She is in hiding now under the hostas.....great breed for free ranging, but don't care for the single combs here in the north, and the roo's in my line were just plain mean to people.

Hope we get some rain today...dang it's dry...and a week from now the bash will be over....just a reminder that if you bring it in ...take it home...no garbage pick up service at Camp...Thanks in advance for that!

Raining here. Got a mower from a neighbor, now can't mow because it is too wet. The grass will be up to my neck before it is cut.

So, everybody start laughing. My son says if we get a rooster, we will not get any eggs because they will all be fertilized. I don't think that is the way it works, who is right. I say a hen has to be broody first.

Well........ if you get a rooster, that will not stop the girls from laying eggs. They will lay and the rooster will fertilize them, but as long as you collect them every day, you won't have to worry about an embryo developing.

If a hen goes broody & you let her sit on them, the embryos will develop & in 21 days, you will have fuzzy butts.

Wow the race day meal was perfection...grilled raw shrimp and venzun backstraps with a baked potato....if you never grilled shrimp..you should, gets done as fast as deep frying bluegills....almost!

The rain is pleasing to see today....Lord knows we needed it here.

Come on Junior...you can do it!....But wish he still had his own team to be in control where he belongs in my opinion.

Cool, cause that is what I told DS.....nananana. Now, I have found my white elephant, pondering on how to wrap it.

Hi All!

Nothing New

Night All!

good morning,

Frankie got me up at 4:3o AM,, I let her outside and left her there and went back to bed until 6:3o.

she was glad to come in then.. otherwise it is in and out every 15 minutes, while I am wanting to go back to bed..

all I have left to do is put the mower dick back together and mount the mower again,
Oh yah, and take off the rear wheel and put a tube in it.. tubeless tires on tiny rims was/is a bad idea.

I turned off the hatcher last night,, only have a dozen eggs going in the bator.. I can hatch them in there..

I have a dozen guinea eggs to set.. will do that today..

going to clean out the guinea pen soon,, will transfer the meaties into there in about a week.. they sure are growing nicely..

the goose has not hatched her eggs yet,, we are beginning to doubt any will hatch,,

we had 1 1/2 inches of nice slow rain,, does everything good..

the apple and plum trees have dropped all of their blossoms,, looks like we will have a good crop of each this year..

the garden is doing well,, still have corn, beans carrots tomatoes and peppers to plant.
just need a dry couple of days to get the tilling done, first..

Morning everyone! In Indy and had a great race day. We will be heading home this afternoon. We'll have to unpack and pack up again! Is it supposed to rain for bash weekend?
