Miracle on the loose ....

8/29/2011

 
Well, I guess most of you heard that we set Miracle free today.  She was grown and going nuts in the cage we had for her so Mom and I decided it was time.  At first I was fine with it but when she actully took flight and circled the house and took to the trees it kind of stung a bit.  I didn't think it would but I did feel something.  I pray she lives a happy long time ...

    Oh man I think I forgot to tell everyone I got entered in the Tulsa State Fair.  I will be taking my poultry project.  I hope I do as good as I did in Coffeyville.  This is another show where I am up against grown men.  Anyway, I think that about covers everything for the day.  
    Oh wait no it doesn't My sumatra Hen got a cold.  She is in the house and we are checking her every hour or so and keeping her nose and eyes clear.  We also put her on an antibotic.  She was doing much better this evening then she was this morning so I think she w
