First Egg Countdown - Page 157

post #1561 of 3301

Thanks, everyone!  Time will tell....  Right now they're much more concerned with lounging under a bush to avoid the heat than with egg production...  roll.png

 

@ Flowerbh -  Yes, their waddles do seem to kind of "pop"...  I've seen a huge change in mine over the last couple of weeks which has made me hopeful that they're getting close.  I'll bet you see the same since yours are just a couple weeks behind mine.  :)

Six haughty chickens who own the yard, one huge duck who imagines she's a dainty girl, two enthsiastic dogs who would like nothing better than to "play" with all the birds and one supportive man, rolling his eyes at me....

Ron he's so cute!  Kind of like a nerd kid trying to be a punk rocker, but not knowing how much grease to put into his mohawk gig.gif

You should hear him trying to Crow! th.gif

 

That crest even gets into his eyes, so he has to crane around to look at you.

 

I love these guys so far.

This is a little 12 week old roo. His comb is not straight, but his crest says he has two crest Genes. No crest is a dis-qualifier, bent comb is points off.woot.gif

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Mama is my Buff Orpington and she's 20 weeks old. I thought I was on an egg countdown, but Mama doesn't have wattles yet.

 

Dorothy Gale, Columbian Wyandotte and Tripp, Barred Rock are 14 weeks. I'll be waiting a while for them.
