| It has been a while since I posted, or even logged in. Any ways My silkies are the silliest of the flock. Infact my flock has been altered a bit. I lost one hen, got two new (cochin hens) that are black, got two americauna peeps, and now I'm not only raising chickens, but ducklings as well now.(And they are cuter than a button. I have a polish Cockrel and I entered my pullet in the county fair.(She got second) My grey silkie is really pudgy now too..XD

Congrats on your winnings at the county fair! What do you do to show your chicken at the fair? P2 wanted to show in the open show but I said no for this year and when we went they did not have an open show or a pig show this year.

I got birds everywhere too, but mine are wild turkey. They always emerge this time of year because the corn is cut and they peck the cobs left behind and spilled corn silage. I got a permit to thin the flock out since they pass salmonella to the lambs.
At home I have chickadees everywhere pecking the ground from the corn silage I have here. Its actually funny watching them peck at dawn and dusk.
No chickens though, we chickens back in the 80's and that was too much. (50,000 broilers and a dozen laying hens). Congratulations on the second place, it always amazes me how many entries there are in the chicken aspect of showing.
I love vegetarians...slice them real thin, dip them in ranch dressing and they compliment lamb quite well! :-)

| @ Cweick: I met with the person in charge of that particular area in lifestock, in my case poultry.usually calling the fairgrounds' office works. @ Drawbar: Lately I've been concidering mixing a couble turkeys with my flock.I was thinking that White Midgets would be easy to raise, but, until my ducklings get older, it would be to many babies, to cold, and extremely unmanagable. The best luck of the turkey basis would to get some Turken pullets.
