I suppose I never thought about it that way, but it makes perfect sense!

Thanks! I'll definitely have to try this and see how it works. I can't have my kiddos in the pen if they're aggressive....so I'll start right away. I just hope I don't get my face pecked at!

Here's another pic of the EE

Well, that was the first thing I suspected about the EE.....she's 27 wks old and still hasn't laid an egg. However, my Blue Rock is DEFINITELY a hen...she's been laying eggs. The EE was the first one to become aggressive, but now my little blue rock is too!! Here's a pic of the two

I have two hens that decided in this last week that they don't like people. We hatched them and raised them, and they were skittish for awhile, but had finally come out of that teen stage. We could feed them by hand, they would sit still to be pet or picked up...very docile! All of a sudden...

Quote: Thanks!! Yeah, everyone I know thinks I'm nuts too. You're not alone!

Oh Mahonri, that's just MEAN!!!! Lol...I was so excited that we had a couple days near 50 in late Feb....now it's back in the 30's and spittin' snow! Common.....nice coop and beautiful flock!

Cute chick, whatever she is!! The all-black is stunning!

YAY!!! It's so neat to find people who are local! I know right where Seville Rd is too, not that far from me....maybe a couple minutes. I'd have plenty if she wanted roos....not so sure on the hens yet. I just hatched 13 chicks a month ago, and it's looking like only 4 or 5 of the 13 are girls...

Lol, that's okay krypton....we all have our days. On a business trip to Canada once, I was COMPLETELY amused by everything labeled in the metric system. We passed a Blockbuster (movies) with a sign that read "Keep your movies for 9 days!!" I proceeded to ask my husband how many days you get to...

Beautiful birds, Arizona! I love those browns....just gorgeous!

Quote: LOL!!! He always wanted to sleep with two chicks.......just not sure this is how he imagined it....lol!!! He tries to act so tough, but inside he's a softy for animals. I catch him peaking in the brooder box with that little kid gleam in his eye.....I know he enjoys watching them...

I suspected he might be a closet chicken lover....but he'd never admit it! The two chicks sitting on my hubby are EE's. I have 13 chicks right now....4EEs (one of which is an olive egger)...3 buff orps, 1 RIR, and 5 blue/black/barred rocks. So far, the EE's have the best personality....totally...

I wouldn't call him a bird "lover", more like a bird "tolerator"...lol. He's a good sport, though! We LOVE watching the chicks play peek-a-boo with the box holes. It's hysterical. They have to think it's pretty funny too, otherwise they probably wouldn't keep doing it. Another fun game to watch...

klf, I just went and compared the 3 EE's, I think you may be right. #3's comb is starting to turn pink too...the other two still have yellow ones.
