THat is great news!!!!   I love the marans, not overly friendly but easy to get along with. Each boy has his territory when free ranging, a tresspasser gets a little move-on chase!!  You kept an Americana for yourself??  I'm trying to remember what I sent you. Three kinds of eggs?

Ameraucanas over EE's and  a few marans.  They are 2 and a half months old now.  I really like this blue clean faced girl.  Her neck feathers have some light brown in them, but the body is a solid blue. Really pretty girl.   I hope I get a real pretty egg!  :)

THe hens lay nice BIG eggs, pretty blue. Blue Boy is a new rooster so I hope his daughter's eggs will be nice,too. 

As I am understanding genetics better, red can leak thru. I'm am going to confuse Blue BOys offspring with a group of olive eggers from Donna RIppy. THEy look exactly alike.

In my last hatch I got 3 chicks that are white with black flecks over the back. THe mothers carry dominant white. 

I didn't set many eggs as they were in high demand. But I have 6 blue chicks, and I have another blue rooster waiting for them to grow up! 

I like the rooster, he never gives me a problem, never minds me fussing with his girls. ANd the EE girls are sweet as pie. My boys have named most of them. THey would sit in the brooder FOR HOURS playing with the police, the FBI and NCIS agents. To this day they can catch those birds better than I can.

Hello all!  No you haven't missed the big announcement, I had to wait for him to pop the question.  They got here Wednesday evening but he didn't ask until yesterday.  We have been having fun and he was waiting for the best time.

I took better pics of when he actually asked her but they are on their camera so I will have to see if I can get them on my computer today.  So happy for the two of them!

Hello Cynthia!  Yes we have had a fire burning to the south of us since last Sunday near Vernon.  It was started by lightning.  So far it has gone back and forth over the top of the mountain but hasn't gotten near any homes.  I don't think they are doing much to fight it, just letting the fire burn itself out. 

Beautiful ring.

Why do all the 'parts' that felt fine when I went to bed hurt in the morning when I get up?

I've been having that myself lately.

dsqard, Beautiful and unusual ring!

Love the unique ring and I'm glad it was a happy ending.

My Achilles tendon locks up some mornings when I get out of bed and I walk like quasimoto for the first 30ish minutes. Everything is where I left it, I believe, with the exception of my hair. I could join an 80s hair band with my looks in the morning. And possibly slay a dragon with my breath. I'm a winner in the mornings!

I learned a very important lesson yesterday: when going to the gun range wear a high neck, tight fitting shirt. A spent shell ejected from my gun yesterday, fell right down my V neck tshirt and landed in my bra. It was about 436908 degrees. 

I will share the congrats to them.  SCG I hope you didn't get burned too bad.  I haven't ever had a spent shell go down my shirt.  Sounds like I should be thankful!
