Figured it fit in since this is a poultry website. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYlgqJ2QwiA&feature=BFa&list=UUuPQZQgluunG_vKypAy1mig

Theron - Maddy Day is really talented!  I wish her much success!

 

 

HH - Thanks for the hummingbird photo. I have never seen so many at a feeder!

Awesome!!!...somad.gif I think I will have to wait until October before expecting my first egg... Marsala is not giving one up anytime soon. So I will have to wait for Noodle... But I think her egg will be worth the wait!!!

Pm'ing you about the fairies.

 

Whose birthday did I miss??? Happy birthday!!

YAY!!!

I was saying happy birthday to you for birthing your son. In my family we always wish the mamas a happy birthday on their kids bdays... Mamas did most of the work!!!

Now that was just the weirdest thing.

My Uggo, Pepper was in the next box, just standing there. 

So I gave her a bit of a groping. While massaging her rump, an egg rolled out of her into the nest. ep.gif

Mine always stand up before the egg comes out.  I bet she was shooting you some pretty weird looks!

Not really, but i'm keeping a brave face.

I am going to try to incubate my eggs, but i only will have the tractor supply model. I couldn't see risking anyone else's hatchlings with mine,  and i am hoping that i will be able to tell my cocoa's babies from princess's , though i am sure they will all be nice because my roo was nice too. I am focusing on that, and trying not to think about it all. By this spring i will know if my project is toast or not, though i have at least one daughter of hers who is just like her!  But too soon for me to feel the same way about her as i did her momma.  

I really wanted a whole flock of lap cuddlers, blue and rusty colored like she was. Who could resist that?

I'm going to blame the Blue Moon for strange behaviour.

Gravy laid a sky blue egg today. Pepper practically dropped one in my hand. And two (2) of the ISA Browns dropped from the high perch. Both broke. barnie.gif
