I have a Golden Campine Rooster, who came in my pullet order this spring (oops!). I wasn't sure on gender until a couple of weeks ago, when he started crowing. He's super-zoomy, will catch bugs out of the air. Lots of fun to watch. Has not started trying to breed yet. I will meet you partway...
Sankofa is a word in the Akan language of Ghana. Loosly translated into english, it is "go back and get it" - or rather, take what you need from the past in order to move into the future. I adopted it as my online name when I was considering becoming a gypsy horse breeder - it seems to me that...
Hey all - I've been spending most of my summertime outside instead of on the computer... Thought I'd pop in and see what was going on. My girls are wavering on the point of lay - they're 18 weeks old today and combs are turning bright red, some of them are starting to squat... c'mon ladies...
Small world :) I was still at Wardcliff Elementary when you graduated :) I was in the EL/meridian twp area through 2002, then again in 2004-5. I had lots of friends in Shaker Heights - it was about a 20 minute bike ride from the other side of town. Ah, memories.
...be driving past her fence is us... but we didn't do it (and we have the undented vehicles to prove it!) It would be really nice if she'd call *us* if she had a problem with us, though, instead of the cops. the funniest thing about her constantly calling the cops on everyone in the...
Well, I've officially crossed the border into crazychickenladydom. I changed my phone ringtone to Chicken Impossible. I carry my phone in my chicken purse. My hubby doesn't want to be seen in public with me any more. http://www.zedge.net/ringtone/156971/
Are you the new people who just moved in two doors down from me? *grin* they have a roo that I hear once in a while, and the neighbor between us is hm... guano-loco (to put it nicely) She called me at midnight one night because there was a clicking noise coming from my house and it was...
Thanks, everyone. I think I managed to track down the egg supplier, though I'll never know for sure. The woman who hatched them said she got the eggs on craigslist - and I think I may have found the ad. looks like they have the following flock. based on size, I'm going to rule out the polish...
I suppose I should have been more specific with my question - what are the genetics required to create this color, and how would I go about recreating it?
I rescued a pile of chicks from a mixed flock earlier this spring. One of them has turned into this gorgeous animal. Any idea what mix it may be? or what color it is? or how I could create more of these? How about gender? I'm leaning towards hen, since the other confirmed roo in the bunch...
I used to work with mink. when they hit puberty, it's like they all discovered they could spray and started doing it for fun. you actually hear the pfffft sound as they unload. At breakfast time, you open the door to the barn and then heard it... pffft pfffffft pfffft and knew you were going...
Great photos! I showed them to my husband, he saw the AMAZING potluck in the background. He said he might be interested in coming next year... but then how will I be able to sneak chickens home???
I had a great time meeting everyone. Sorry I had to rush out - I was supposed to leave at one but ended up staying closer to three. I barely had time to get the new birds settled in before my grandparents came over for dinner. Oh well... they didn't seem to mind that I smelled vaguely of...
