I got my rooster from a family down near Amsterdam and my girls came from a family near Long Lane/Buffalo area.

Woohoo! I hear peeping in the hatcher. They're due to hatch tomorrow but I already have 3 eggs pipped and a 4th one rocking! This is my first hatch of the year and it always excites me.

I have Buff Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, LF EE, Australorp, White Giant and BBS bantam Cochin in breeder pens.

If the girls get back to laying I would! LOL! I'm supposed to be collecting eggs for a gal this week and it went and got bitter cold again and no one is laying! I just have a few breeder pens. I wouldn't claim any of my birds are show quality simply because I don't know enough about the SOP for...

Oh ok! 4-6 shouldn't be any trouble! LOL! Cleveland is further north than Butler. Where I'm at is almost exactly 20 minutes west of Harrisonville.

I'm in the Cleveland, MO vicinity and it will just depend on how many eggs I can get into the incubator by then. I only have a few buff hens so it won't be like 50 chicks at a time or anything. How many chicks are you looking for?

I'm about 45 minutes south of KC and I should have some buff orp chicks available by spring.

Until last night, I never killed the raccoons. I always trapped and relocated them. We have a state park about 20-25 minutes away, down in the Amarugia hills where I'd release them. The only time I ever tried to kill a predator was one year when we had a coyote come back FOUR TIMES in one day...

You'll only be about 30 minutes from me. I'm right down 69 highway, just a few miles east of Louisburg, KS... but I'm on the Missouri side of State Line. You can tell your husband that there are plenty of places where you can have animals but won't have to drive too far to get to KC. Even as far...

I used to buy from Murray McMurray every couple years because I was never into showing. As long as the birds were healthy and recognizable as the breeds they were supposed to be, I was happy. I always had great luck with them. BUT... I am now resolute in avoiding hatcheries. I guess I always...

Hi Kelly! Do you know what area you'll be moving to? I'm about 45 minutes south of downtown KC. LOVE it here. I've got chickens, goats, llamas, horses, and will have rabbits again eventually. If you have any questions or want a critter buddy when you get to town, give me a holler! You'll...

She just told me this morning that there is a church she's eyeballing down there. I don't think she's gone to one yet. That was about the only thing she was sad to leave behind when she moved, she loved the church she went to. Maybe when I head down to visit her next time, I could swing...

No way! My mom just moved to Long Lane this winter. For the last 38 years she's lived up here by me... just south of KC. But her sister bought a place down there with two houses on it and mom moved into the second house. I've lived in Missouri my whole life and had never even heard of Long Lane...

Thank you so much! Since then we've had four more. We had another set of twin girls and two singles, a boy and a girl. They are so sweet and friendly. LOL!

How about this one? One of my favorites of my Muscovy ducklings. :-)

They can be SO much fun and at other times SO darn frustrating! LOL! There's an old saying that is absolutely true... if your fences won't hold water, they won't hold goats. Although the breeds I have now are less determined to escape than the pygmies I had several years ago. They're total...

So is everyone trying to dig out?! LOL! Been awfully quiet in here. Since we were talking goats, I thought I'd share. (I don't think I already told you guys) One of my goaties had her first set of kids a week ago. It was only 8 degrees the night she delivered... they arrived at 11:30 and...

Indeed! I think my rooster loves having the weather as an excuse to wear one of the llamas as slippers!

Oh yes! Star gazing...

LOL, The amazing flying Daisy.... too funny. I'm glad no one is bothered by the "off topic" conversation. When talking about my critters, I really can go on and on and on... I guess in my mind the goats and chickens and my two llamas are sort of lumped together in one big "flock". They're...
