Yancy! The egg is beautiful! And your girls are so very pretty, all grown up like that. LOL

Bantam Cochins are my love! Mille Fleur projects, buff barred projects and black/blue Mottled. Chickens, Guineas, Ducks, Peafowl and Meal Worms. Contact me for hatching eggs and a link to my website.


God Bless America!  If you can't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them!

The only items I had to buy to make these was the hinges, nails/screws, dowels and dowel holders, hardware cloth and roofing. All of the wood was reused from shipping materials.  and the knobs and handles were reused from pieces of furniture and cabinets and stuff that I have collected. :)

I wish y'all could see the colors and markings of my muscovys better, I am going to have to catch them on a cloudy day, for whatever reason my phone just didn't capture the coloring very well. And don't tell my little Buff Orp hen but the ducks are my favorites. wink.png

I have thought of doing that but I don't know how I would be able to, I can't install it on my neighbor's side of the fence which is where the problem is and I have my own animals on my side of the fence.... Maybe I am just not thinking of it right?

Saw this ad on craigslist. Didn't know if anyone was looking for a LGD but figured I'd post it anyways.
