These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is...

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

I agree with Ari, there was a really low showing of birds at the MEN fair today. VERY disappointing.
At least I got me an automatic door opener for the chicken coop, woohoo!
On another awesome note, my black star HennyPenny laid TWO eggs today!!!! For the first time!

Well - I planted some beautiful foxglove two years ago in the small garden in front of our windows.
It has finally bloomed, and I was so excited I took these pictures this morning.
But today when we came home from a nephew's graduation, this little humminbird was sitting under the window, with a hurt wing.
She is a Rufous Hummingbird. She could not fly and was spinning circles in the dirt.
(sorry - terrible picture - super quick and no flash as I didn't want to scare her more than she already was!)
I took her to PAWS wildlife center and made sure she was indeed adult and injured enough to need their care, yes and yes.
They are the ones that told me she is a she and a Rufous Hummingbird.
They said she should recover fine and when she does the center will release her close to the area as they are extremely territorial.
But I'm worried I caused her to crash in the window by planting the foxglove too close. ![]()
I've never had any birds hit the window, we've grown climbing/flowering peas, rosemary, lavender,etc. in this front garden with no problems.
But this is my first time growing such a tall flower here. The foxglove are about 18 inches away from the window.
Thoughts?

Here are pictures of the the broody girls =)
Well - at least one broody girl.
Blueberry has not decided yet; so the eggs I had under her are now under Juno with the others.
I'll give them over when she decides she is sure.
And now, Blueberry's sister Blackberry wanted to sit for a few extra hours today and is walking around the yard clucking at everything. ![]()
And here are some adorable chicks =) Most of these in this picture are boys and available! The cute black one is a BC Marans / Spitz cross. The one in the back is a Brabanters/Spitz cross. The one in front is an EE/Spitz cross and has some really interesting things happening with his coloring on his face - bet the beards & muffs will be spectacular on this little guy!
good night! ![]()

Some window stickers to break up the reflections should help.
