Morning Everybody!

Sorry I have been MIA, work has been crazy and stressful. Of course Farmville is not helping, thinking I may have to shut my virtual farm down or my real one.

How is everyone been? Lurked around a bit but not enough to really know what is going on. What is the word on Stimpy? Hope everyone is doing great.

Well who all is going to Blanchard tonight?? I figured it was time to go to an auction, been to long and I am jonesin for one. Do not really need anything but want to go anyway.

Better get going, have a bunch of things to get done today before heading to the auction. Hope to see a lot of you there.

Good Morning Everyone! I am so glad it is Saturday. No School, No Football, No Practice. Just Chicken Auction...Yea!

I still have chickens for sale... I still have those buffs, RIR, Black Australops, and a few others. If anyone is interested, let me know.

You can call me at 405-664-5645. My inbox was full and if anyone tried to PM me, I guess I didnt get the messages. Now its empty.

Who all is going to blanchard?

No Auction for us... Jason is picking up some pipe fencing so we can start sectioning off the livestock into more suitable and proper paddocks.

Is it legal to do a stake out... the neighbors let their dogs out again this morning and already started chasing our goats... daughter came running in the house so I quickly walked outside to take aim... only to see they had hollered at their dogs and were inside their place safe.... for now... Aleisha thinks because they saw her they got their dogs in before we could shoot... I m just wondering if I shouldnt do a stake out in the early morning and when they let them out ... wait for them to come across our yard and start chasing the goats then take aim... This is gonna drive me crazy... they know their dogs are chasing them... they have been warned but they still wont do anything to keep them contained to their property...

We lost one of the sumo chicks today... the others trampled on it... poor thing... but as long as we have no other losses come a few months they will be some tasty freezer treats..

Morning everyone!!

Barns, I'm sorry that you are dealing with that & I wonder if there isn't something else that you can do about it but I don't know what.

As for Farmville, the new finally wore off & I hardly ever play anymore, same thing happed with Farmtown & now Frontierville.

Well my dad had to be readmitted yesterday to the hospital. He got out on thursday at 2 and was readmitted on friday at 3pm. He started throwing up everything he has eaten since Tues in my bathroom yesterday and I had to take him back. The surgeon ran some xrays and a cat scan and told me that stuff was backing up in there and looked like a partial blockage was there. So here we go again.

Here's a few shots of the birds Jiena was out playing with the camera (the enabling tips are paying off
Goosey & Lucy

This is my lone survivor from the last incubator run, What do you think is it a he or a she? I'm thinking pullet (or hoping anyway)

Tink & the girls

Some shots of the flock in the first pen

You can see the eye of the one hen It's the hen in the bottom far left that still has some mucus around it, it seems some better but not going away fast, wondering if I should pen her seperate from the others.
