At least you've got better neighbors than us! Our dachshund was outside when a thunderstorm blew up quickly & she got out of the yard. When we went looking for her, the neighbors acted like we were a nuisance more than anything. One had the audacity to look straight at my 7yr old daughter &...
Polk is only an hours drive from me... yippee! We need some more girls & guys, especially a new guy. Hoping I can convince the DH to go down there though, he isn't too thrilled about getting more chicks at this time. Maybe (hopefully) they'll have some older ones available too
I lived the mojority of my life in STL or surrounding areas. About 7 months ago we moved to northeast Ohio & things are so much different up here! Really miss STL a lot & hope to get back there one day soon. We've been looking for farms to rent/purchase or even land to buy in hopes of...
She normally stnads a little more upright, she's eating & running for food in those pics though. Definitely not a leggy bird! Everything I've read abotut hem says they're flighty & not the ones to run up to you, but just like every descritption of every breed of any animal, there are always...
Checked the lobes last night, they're white too. Alright, everyone has me convinced she's a silver duckwing OEGB. So now I need to read up on those guys too
Here are two more pics I was able to get of her last night before the goat ran her off, lol!
She does kind of look like the one in the first picture, except my girl's head is a bit different & she doesn't have "yellow" legs. The second picture is similar in coloring alone (besides the legs). Your girl is much thicker & has the fluffy butt (sorry if there's a more technical term, I'm...
Her legs aren't yellow like the others. They do have somewhat of a yellow tint to them, but they are more diluted, almost white, so it may just be the lighting. As of right now, her comb is virtually non-existent. We got her in March & she's the only one yet to develop one. I'll have to take...
Do you have a suggestion on what variety? I've looked through a lot of pictures of game hens & the closest one I found to her was the golden duckwing, except she doesn't have the slate blue legs. I will try looking more into the OEG too, but when I did the comparisons from another website that...
I got this little lady out of the bantam assortment at TSC. When I asked what breeds they got in, nothing was mentioned of an AGB & when I looked through all the pics of the breeds they did say came in, not one looks like her! From what I hear though, this is pretty common from them. Doesn't...
Wow, I wish you were closer. We just lost our rooster & have been on the lookout for a new guy, but we're about two hours away from you We think we found someone up here who has some bantam silkie roosters available so hopefully that works out, but we were more interested in a full size guy...
We just lost our last rooster, a gorgeous 3 month golden sebright, to a dog. The DH really doesn't like the idea of having a bunch of girls without a guy or two hanging around so we're on the lookout for a new roo. Does anyone in the Cleveland/Akron area have a few too many roos? We're...
The blue jay actually had two babies in it's nest. They fell out of their nest (or learning to fly, but they don't quite have all their feathers yet) & the chickens went on the attack. We actually had to save the baby blue jays from the chickens!
We have a few blue jays in our yard that hover over our chickens too & they're nearly full grown! I've seen them swoop on the chickens a couple of times, but nothing ever came of it. Blue jays are beautiful birds, but man are they mean! They would even dive bomb our cat when he wasn't even...
Fast Eddie's is iconic in the STL area! The food is cheap & delicious & they have lots of drinks/beers with great prices too. It's a hole in the wall without being a hole in the wall. It's nearly always packed, especially on the weekends or when bands are there so depending on what time, it...
Jealous, we really need a trip that way! Lots of friends there on the IL side since I went to school at SIUE. Don't forget to make a stop at Fast Eddie's!
