Can you beleive it's time to be thinking about our breeding pens for next year. On standards in Oklahoma you have to start early and get some hatched so they can grow before July and August. Another year like this last summer and I might retire. I know I would love to have some big shade trees on my little 2 1/2 acre chicken place. Got 3 little ones and thats it. I will breed my standard buffs and black bantams in orps next year and drop the white, blue and buff bantams. What's on your mind for next year. I still have a chocolate thing in my mind.

Don, I am not all that far from you. I am 275 miles from Shawnee. I live in Nevada, MO. We will have to meet up one of these times, for sure. I am still learning. I have not jumped into the show ring, but I sure do enjoy the breeding, hatching, and growing out. I also love to share (so I can keep hatching!).... I have at least 2 Orp pens I will be working with. My main focus is my project..... creating a new strain of Delawares. I hatched over 200 to get just a dozen F2 keepers. Springtime will be the F3s. Chocolate is on my mind too, Don. I am very excited about having the pair of chocolates I won in the raffle at the Crossroads. They are about a month old. I think I will keep them inside for the winter.

My biggest fear is that they say that this winter is going to be horrible.
