Morning, everyone - We had a coyote chorus on and off all night. Twice it was so loud that DH went out and carried the shotgun because he figured he'd run into about twenty or thirty coyotes on the front porch. I've never heard them so loud before, and some many... Most of the noise came from...

Sooner - I paged back and realize I didn't say hello. Hello. Were you able to enjoy the sunshine today?

Joe - that's something I can say yes to. I'll be getting eggs/chicks from Donnie, and I have made sure to have enough room for a few more, eggs or chicks that is. So yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I will get some chicks from you in the spring.

Joe - That's too mean!!!!! I already said I want some, but I don't need some, so I have to just say no.....

Donnie - I've got special quarters already assigned for those. That's one of the reasons I'm not going to take Joe up on his offer to pick up some splits or coronations.

Joe - I sure do want some, but I don't need some. That's the stinky part. I love they way they look. I'm going to have to stick to the business plan in my farm file. Otherwise, I'd have to make a new plan and start penciling in about thirty more breeds that "look" spectacular but aren't in...

Donnie - I appreciate you asking. I really love the Speckled Sussex breed, and I know I'll put them back in the rotation in a year or so. In the mean time, the hens I kept will make good meaty birds when paired with my Dark Cornish.

Splits - $15 each, Coronation - $75 each. Is that right? Is the price the same for male and for female?

Donnie - I'm not going to have the pen space for SS this season, so no, I don't need the SS roo. Thanks for asking. My SS ladies will be in the meat bird pen, as they are big girls and usually make some really big chicks. Joe - What do they cost? I'm super curious, but it would mean I'd need...

Joe - I don't know enough about the genetics. Tell me about the splits... What does that mean when breeding them?

Joe, I've been looking for some nice New Hampshire Reds (2 Roos and lots of hens), some Silver Laced Wyandottes (only need hens), Dark Cornish (only need Roosters), and nice game hens. Are you parting with any on this list?

Okay Joe. That sounds great. Are you taking anything special on Saturday? I'm probably taking a White Wyandotte cockerel, a BLRW Rooster, and a few other birds. I'm still deciding.

Hi Joe - Looking forward to chatting with you next Saturday at Inola. DH is coming with me to see what a big auction is like. He usually wants to stay home and study, but he said he's committed to making the drive. If you don't want to haul the Delaware boys to Inola, I could meet you some...

Busy weekend ahead finishing the firing for my last three classes... Is there a chicken sale anywhere this Saturday? Would there be a lot of folks at Mary's Swap Meet? I feel like I need to connect with chicken folk before I dive into a new project with students next week. Three weeks of...

Barn Swallow - Maybe they are just getting too much exercise. How big did you want them to be before you butchered them? My birds have dressed out to about 75% of live weight, so maybe you're closer to freezer camp than you think.

Looks like more winter weather on the way. I was hoping we'd seen the last of the snow and ice. I had to break ice in a few dishes this morning, but others were only mildly frosted. Have a great day everyone.

Our weather is like a bad incubator: can't hold a consistent temperature. I had to break ice again. Thank Carhart for thermal overalls. Major news came via a phone call late last night. DH and I are going to be grandparents again! Our youngest daughter, who lives in California, is...

Sooner - Does the feed mill in Muskogee have medicated starter, grower, layer, and game bird ration? I'm trying to decide where to go when I get close to my last few bags of feed.

Evening Everyone, I got home late because I had to ..... pick up my new truck! I traded in my Matrix. After six years it was hard to say goodbye to that little work horse. Now I'm driving a 2011 Toyota Tacoma, Access Cab, Standard Bed. That's me and the salesman, Art, in the picture. DH...

Morning, Sooner - I hope you are right. The pointy egg is cute now, but later it will just seem weird. I'm off to work. I need to do some room cleaning before kids arrive. We had a super messy 7th hour Monday.
