4-H chick help
Sounds good. His head (although light colored) sure looks OE. So, now, are we thinking Brassy Back, Golden Duckwing, or another variety? I really know NOTHING about OEGBs. You guys are my lifeline for this boy's bird. Thanks also for the bantam info. The others I've seen have been small...- ChickieWickies

4-H chick help
All the top hats were easy to identify. These bantams are a whole new experience. This batch included a Dominique and a Barred Plymouth Rock--twins except for their combs. Here's the kicker, what's the chance that this ISN'T a bantam? It is the same size as his brother's Golden Laced Polish...- ChickieWickies

4-H chick help
We were torn on the OEGB idea. We didn't think the back feathers looked right. And it doesn't stand as tall and "proud" as most OEGB. Is this what they look like young? Thanks for the help!- ChickieWickies

HEChicken, what so you think of your Muscovy ducks--plus and minus. I'm thinking of getting some for my MIL. She has them in with her geese--would that be a problem?- ChickieWickies

Trish, I think we'll start with a couple of pullets so they can be in the show pen. We looked them up the other day and my son fell in LOVE!- ChickieWickies

Quote: Nope. They live in Atlanta. They went through all kinds of theories about what might have happened to Sam, but after a week they decided he must have been killed by a dog. A few days later he showed up fixed but well cared for. And he didn't want out for a while after that! We're...- ChickieWickies

Trish, we're looking for some nice show birds for 4 H. My son LOVES his Ameraucanas and is looking to add some ladies for his boys. I know you have some pretty birds. We also have Large Cochins, both White and Black Langshans, and a pair of little frizzles. We also have a bantam roo...- ChickieWickies

Well, it seems like I've missed a ton--50 or 60 pages of posts! I've been busy helping my mom, she had open heart surgery for a valve in November. She's doing so much better now, so now I can start going in every other day instead of every day. Trish, are you planning any hatches right now...- ChickieWickies

HEChicken, I've been feeding Lacey tomato and bread bites in her nest box. She came out for a few minutes the second day, but when baby couldn't figure out how to follow her up the ramp, I had to put them both back in. She has been in the nest box since--they have water and feed in the coop...- ChickieWickies

Welcome to the world of motherhood!!! I always say that God gave me children to break me of my perfectionism! Say goodbye to the perfectly clean house, having laundry done AND put away, being on time ANYWHERE, and wearing clean clothes (babies LOVE to spit up on your only clean shirt)!!!
