    MAY 2016 "Land of the Free Because of the brave!" Hatch-a-Long Hosted by, Mike & Sally

    If you have too many, I might know a good home. But yes, thank you Sally and Mike! It has been fun. Maybe next time around, after I've been around for a while longer (and learned a bit more), I'll have a better shot at the contests!

    "Shouldered Poultry Photo Contest" MAY~Land of the Free Because of the Brave HAL w/hosts Mike & Sall

    Don't yet have many pictures of our feathered family on our shoulders, but here's the first one that hatched from our May HAL. Sunshine had spraddle legs, but here she is about two weeks later, riding around perched on a shoulder on a nice warm day. A true Ameraucana, she is by far the...

    "Poultry Shaming Photo Contest" MAY~Land of the Free Because of the brave HAL w/hosts Mike & Sally

    Entry #4 True story! This little May HAL chick was the first one out, super active and healthy... and so eager for company that she kept hopping up on the other eggs (despite having plenty of room to walk around) and sitting on them. After spending more time sitting on eggs than standing up or...

    "Remembering Our Fallen" Win a MPC Coop May HAL w/hosts Mike & Sally

    While I was in college, I was extremely lucky to get to know the man who became the only grandfather I've ever known. An excellent welder and machinist, he taught me a number of things, both while I was working for them at the machine shop and when we were just hanging out. He was a great man...

    "Remembering Our Fallen" Win a MPC Coop May HAL w/hosts Mike & Sally

    Here are a couple of pictures of my father in uniform, while he was serving during Vietnam. He wasn't really a part of my life, but I did track him down and travel to visit him not long before he passed away last year. When he heard of my service during the visit, he showed me these...

    So sorry to hear about your guinea eggs! Does that mean you won't be able to let another try to hatch her own at all anymore?

    "Poultry HEAD SHOTS Contest" MAY~Land of the Free Because of the Brave HAL w/hosts Mike & Sally

    What about a pic with two heads in it? Should it be only one? I thought the pic with one's head on the other's shoulder (post #51) was super sweet, but didn't know if it qualified. And I think you were still recovering, and might have missed my question about it, @Sally Sunshine.

    Thank you for this thread. Entry #1 I was Army, myself, but the greatest man I've ever known was a retired Navy NCO. My godfather left the Chippewa reservation he was raised on when he was sixteen, and joined the Navy as soon as he could. After over thirty years of service to our country...

    "Poultry in Nature Photo contest" MAY~Land of the Free Because of the brave HAL w/hosts Mike & Sally

    I don't have very many pictures of our birds outside yet, since our first hatch is just over seven weeks old, but I think this one turned out well. Entry #1, His/her face and front of poof are wet from diving into leftover watermelon! It's amazing what a little "product" can do for one's...

    Entry #1, One of our MayHAL chicks! Just after we worked on fixing her splayed legs, she had the best expression on her fluffy little face! . Entry #2, One of our chicks from April, our first hatch ever. From a barnyard mix, the little poof even as a fluffy new chick got this one named Elvis...

    MAY 2016 "Land of the Free Because of the brave!" Hatch-a-Long Hosted by, Mike & Sally

    Well, thirteen of our twenty-three eggs hatched: 9/13 FBCM's, 1/2 Ameraucana's, and 3/8 Maranaucanas. We might have had three or four more, but someone ran off the road and knocked the power pole down just down the street at 3am, knocking out our power for ten hours on hatch day. We were...
