lol!
I do need to check it out more closely. It's still being fed by the parents, chest is still dirty, but it might also be getting picked on too. I'll have to watch it.
Typical teenagers. 🤣
I have another new color variety. The majority are laced, I have a few Bluettes, not laced. Not sure exactly what color this is or what mating produced it
Good afternoon Pond peeps. Hot and humid, as usual here.
Thanks! They are porcelain d'uccles, yes bantams. About 8" tall, a fun little beautiful breed. I think I counted 16 chicks, they squirt around so fast. Been breeding these for many years, they aren't the hardiest of chicks, and the moms...
I got quite the birthday surprise this morning. Two hens have been sitting forever, they aren't the best mothers, I usually just let them do their thing. Well, here's their thing today
Porcelain d'uccles
We just googled a bunch of images and picked a few things to add. I was surprised how many examples were out there, and though I guess i shouldn't be surprised. Some interesting themed ones out there!
This quilting is fabulous!!
I've been working on a new wall hanging for my daughter. She saw someone post on FB about a bookshelf quilt and asked if I could make one. So I pulled out some scraps and started. I did buy the wood grain fabric and black background fabric, the rest is scraps.
Still...
Do you sell eggs?
I keep looking for a nice SDW cockerel, I have 2 hens, but haven’t been able to find a good boy. The 2 that I have did hatch a couple good looking boys, but the dad is one of my mixed boys, or a serama. Most of the cockerels I got have leakage, I think just one or two will...
Lost the first baby that ever hatched from the initial pair of pigeons that I got back in 2018. (Dad died October of 23, Mom died this January). This baby (Bugsy) was found dead this morning. 6 years, 6 days old. Her hatchmate died at just a few days old, but I still have several of her own...
Listen to the doctors Al. Easy for me to say, huh. How many kids do you still have at home? Make them wait on you, hand and foot. Doctors orders!
Speedy recovery, my friend.
Morning Pond Peeps. Cooler here too, but warming up this afternoon. Been pretty busy, praying everyone is safe from the hurricanes and tornados. Crazy stuff!
Have a few new chicks in the coops here. Had a porcelain d’uccle hatch a couple, and my only big hen had been sitting forever, I assumed...
I’m in WV, so we have pretty similar winters as PA. As long as they have an area to get out of the snow, I don’t feel like they need anything extra. The few times that we get deeper snow, mine still come out, and it can be hard for them to walk around, but they still enjoy it. They even still...
Ewww we don’t have many eagles, but the hawks can be bad at times. Seems to go in spells. And I have so many now, it just breaks my heart (and wallet too lol) to keep them locked up all the time. I just learned to accept a few losses each year.
I do also have one pen on the end of my covered...
