Quote: Well, I'm glad he got there ok. I hope your truck keeps working. Car troubles are the pits. I am way up on top of the state (near Morgantown) or he could stop here for lunch or some such! Catherine

Quote: Oh, thank you! I will make every attempt to make that. It is supposed to be all week, or just one day, do you know? Catherine

I used to have a lot of Guineas, and they were useful, in that they ate the ticks. I have not seen a tick in ages. However, I mostly gave them away, because they were mean to the chickens. They would chase all my timid little hens away from their food, and beat up on my not timid roosters...

Yes, I still have some BO's, but no--I am not all that near Huntington. I am sort of between Morgantown and Fairmont. Catherine

I am right near Fairview, which is sort of between Morgantown and Fairmont. I have too many chickens. I am just not able to take care of them all, and I guess I will have to put an ad in the Bulletin Board. But first I wanted to let you all know. I have Silver Laced Wyandottes, some...

Yes, my gals are laying like crazy also. I figure they are bored. They have nothing to do, as all their scratching grounds are covered with snow, so they say, 'Oh what the heck, let's go lay an egg.' Catherine

Well, what do you all think? Are we going to get this awful ice storm? It doesn't look too bad today, but you never know. Yesterday Fed Ex did not deliver something to me because they couldn't get here. I wish they had called, as I could have had them leave it somewhere. Catherine

Well, ok, I could make that I think. Although it would be a bit of a drive. My problem is, I LOVE hatching out chickens, and now I have more chickens than I can take care of! Well, I AM taking care of them, with the help of my husband, but you see what I mean. LOTS of chickens! And I want...

Quote: We did not get that much snow, but my husband's college (Fairmont State) closed early. The roads were dreadful. My car is a 4WD, and my husband has had to take it for ages, so I am getting a little cabin fever. You can't really get in or out of our place without a 4WD. Catherine

Quote: I forget where Putnam County is. Can you tell me more about where it would be? I wish there was something closer to me. I am in Fairview, which is near Fairmont. Catherine

Merry Christmas to all of you! Catherine

Quote: Yeah, I have a bunch of them molting. They look awful. I should be getting tons of eggs and I am not. Very frustrating. Let's all pray for rain. I doubt if it is a factor in the rate of eggs, but who knows. And we are almost out of water. Catherine

Yup, it is raining. We need about two weeks of it, constantly! I do what you do, I try to put at least one green egg or blue or olive, in each dozen. I just raised my price to $2.50, and you know, it will probably be $3. before too long! Since the salmonella outbreak I think our home...

My gosh Ken, your coop is BEAUTIFUL! Did you do that yourself? Wow, wow. I am SO jealous. Catherine

Yes, the Moderns are pure. They are different colors, as very few of the colors of Moderns breed true. I was trying for lemon blues. But they are all pretty. Catherine

Oh gosh I have just GOT to learn how to post pics. Modern is short for Modern Game Bird Bantams. They are truly cute beyond belief. They have long legs like a sandpiper. They are very friendly and gentle, in spite of their background as a game bird. And like you, I don't want to charge for...

And I have little cute adorable Modern roos if anyone wants them... Catherine

Oh wow congrats! Isn't that first egg really great! And I still love to see those eggs. Right now I am getting a gazillion little pullet eggs. I will be glad when they are bigger, my goodness. This bunch seems to be laying small eggs longer than I remember the others doing so. Catherine

There is a Southern States in Clarksburg. I sort of switch feeds around, because I get my feed from a older guy that lives right near here and has a small feed business. He gets Southern States but he also gets whatever he can get cheapest. It is called 'Pappy's Feed and Tack'. Some of the...

Ok this is SO off topic. Heartstrings, I truly do love your rescuing efforts. I used to do Italian Greyhound rescue but I could not keep it up. (For those of you who do not know, Italian Greyhouds are tiny little dogs. They are like miniature Greyhounds. Beautiful and loving.)...
