I am so used to opingtons and australorps!  idunno.gif  I am at a loss with chicks she has been buying for me. LOL  Sorry about the fence in the second pic.  I also have one that is a light soft grey with darker barring.

Someone on the Ameraucana thread said you can sex EE's by their color, she said they talk about it on the EE thread. I have an EE hen the exact same color as that one so I'm going to say girl haha!

That is wrong in so many ways that can't even begin to be counted. I want to unsee this picture th.gif

That is TOO Funny!! But, I'm thinking the more scandalous aspect is the provocative pose rather than the unclad condition of this poor creature LOL

The German Shepard DH brought home is 100% a house dog. She didn't even give the baby chicks a second glance & is in DD room asleep on the trundle bed. Not sure she is the type of farm dog we need! The boys are outside chasing varmints & barking up a storm while she is happily sleeping the night away.
Storms are suppose to be worse tomorrow night, if so our time at the auction may be short & sweet. I hate driving in the pouring rain. Bad enough I can hardly see in the dark, add pouring rain & then I just hope my van knows the way home.

Maybe you got lucky with her!

Dang! My husband would be impressed. His measure of a woman is how well she can shoot haha!

 

 

Poco, that plucker is a work of art! Your brother made that for you?? Wow, you've got way nicer siblings than mine.
You guys, I don't know what to hatch. I got my Eco 20 incubator (got a turning cradle, too) and I have aaaallllll these eggs saved up. I was saving some for me and also for someone else that I never did meet up with, so now I have way too many eggs and don't know which ones to set. I want LF Faverolles so bad but I'm too scared of getting males. How do you all sell males????? The auction? I wish I knew someone who'd take them even if they were going to end up processing them. But now I'm too scared to set any at all for fear of getting males. This is ridiculous.
I guess I better read up on the weather. Is it supposed to be bad tonight? Are they still planning the Blanchard auction? Christina, I've got that purple guinea for you. If Blanchard is cancelled I'm going to be asking you if you want it, Laura lol

OUCH!!  Brings back the very painful memory of the first time I fired my dad's big single shot shotgun (A loong time ago now LOL).  Dad was retired military and a shooting instructor for JROTC at the time.  Well he told me to make sure I had it tight to my shoulder but I did not listen.  Dad wisely let me figure it out on my own. big_smile.png  After he picked me up off the ground and pounded my back for a minute or so I "self corrected" real fast!  I have never made that mistake again in my life!

Thank you Ksane.  On my way over to check out the EE and Ameraucana threads!  

 

I am keeping a watch on the weather.  I really wanted to go to the Blanchard auction this evening to meet some of you guys!  Oh well, if it looks too bad I guess there is always next week at Newcastle.  hit.gif

I got 2 Silkied Seramas from Deanne/UpCDayze (if I spelled that right) a month ago. The girl was supposed to be mine and the boy is one my grown daughter picked out. They were both so lonesome apart that they've been kept together. My daughter has claimed them both now. They're just beautiful. These are about the prettiest colored Seramas I've ever seen, I think. (Don't let Channing hear me say that).

That's a fine coop! I would be proud to be one of your chickens! They have shelter, they have a fence, they have food. Us wives just like to give you guys a hard time. What I bet she appreciates is how much you care about the chickens :-)
