Nice Coop! We painted ours in the exact same colors! I think there may be a picture in my photo album!

Coopchick, I think it's neat that Chipmunk produced a blue egg! Her Mom did not- she laid a pinkish egg....And so...seeing as the last thing we covered in my bio class was genetics, I got to thinking...blue can tend to be a recessive gene, as far as eye color is concerned, so I wonder if it is with egg color...and if so, that means that the daddy, our old roo, would have had to have been a barred rock/ee cross?? I could be totally off here, maybe someone else knows a little bit more about chicken egg color genes!MT, Sorry to hear about your pullet and your foot!!
LG, Too funny about your MIL & her SIL!! My mother, sister & aunt are the biggest offenders in my family! They are now always on the look out for gnomes!! They all quilt so I'm hoping I do NOT get a gnome themed quilt anytime soon!! DH has said the same thing to me about the hobbies. I said you've seen me "try" to knit & crochet. How'd that look to you?!Yes, Chipmunk is an EE. I will let you know what I find when I crack that egg open.
Love the new coop photos.
Gracejr, do a search for Japanese knotweed, and see if your septic weed looks like that (hopefully not).
The stalk looks very bambooish.That's the closest I've come, unfortunately. Really hoping that's not it. But the descriptions seemed to indicate a white flower, and some said a reddish tint in the stalks?
Here is what it looks like. I haven't dared mow anything yet, in case that will make it spread.
Lazy, I think I read somewhere that pea is dominant over straight. It seems to hold true here anyway. My rooster has a straight comb, but all the chicks from my Brahma and the Ams have all had small combs.
Congrats on the chicks Widget!
This is knotweed-- the thin one in the middle there with pink and white flowers that look like little knots on the stalk.
