    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Oh, thank you! I really appreciate that so much. I won't get rich writing, but it's enjoyable and I think people can get something out of the story to apply to their own lives. Hugs!

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I used to have a number for him. I'll have to check around. It's pre-dawn here so I'll have to check in a bit. If I can find it, I'll PM you. Adding: message sent

    The New Flock 2021: Back to Basics

    Juliette, my splashy-wheaten looking EE hen, was really looking awful today. I am pretty sure she won't come back this time around. She weighs nothing, but until today, at least she looked interested in life. She looked like she was shrinking in on herself all day long, very weak. She's with her...

    The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

    Yes, I have a guy who does a great job. He sure has padded his wallet with our $$ since last October, LOL. He took down probably 15 trees, all oaks, some that were hanging over our house. He's reasonable as tree guys go and I know he knows what he's doing. This one is going to be more, I think...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I think my sense that sunshine and fresh air would do her some good was right. She perked up today after I basically forced her to go outside with Bash. I even saw her run. And when I picked up Bash to take him back inside (his joints hurt to walk, though he'll try, sweet old man), she didn't...

    The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

    I hope it's an innocuous mushroom growth. That tree would cost more than others to take down in a controlled manner, but I have a guy I trust to do it, if it comes to that.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    The girls are all so pretty. Hannah's comb is not great, but they all look good. Hazel and Ethel are so close in looks, it's hard to tell them apart unless I see Ethel's solid black feather on her chest. I hope Tallulah will lay eventually, thanks for the well-wishes for her.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    She's been up and down. Today started out more down. I made her go outside in the sunshine so I hope she will stay out and get the benefit of it. She's not ready to go back with her group permanently. Bash is being very sweet with her so she should be able to relax in there.

    The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

    I'm putting this here since the Atlas thread has become more of a chat thread now. Are these grayish-brown mushroom clusters with white edging the ones called Hen of the Woods? They are on an oak tree about the age of this country and crazily enough, inside the chicken pen, LOL. I just noticed a...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Adding some pics today. You can see that Tally is very pale and not overly energetic. She is sitting on a 2x4 bar that goes across the front, right corner of Bash's pen. It used to be where Mace would roost every night when he and his ladies were in there. Hannah was first to lay, but has the...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Actually, both those boys minded me today when I told them to leave Tally alone. I was surprised. I see more maturity coming on every day. I think they will more or less get along as long as Nathaniel doesn't push back too much. I think bantam males do better than large fowl males at getting...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Love you, too, Mary, my friend. You and Lisa always know the right things to say. Likely, you are right about giving up all my roosters. I mean, Angus and Nathaniel are the only ones I have other than sweet old Bash and he won't be around much longer. If I can hold on to both of them, I will...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    You're right, but....do we really have to adult? :idunno:hmm My intention was and still is for this line to be my last breed and line of the breed as well, but I find the daily necessities of doing this, and the decisions that go along with it, harder to handle, especially when there are a...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Today, I tried Tallulah with the Omegas. First, one of the girls harassed her so I let them out into the much larger free range area and had to carry Tally out into the grass. She didn't make any effort to eat. She sunbathed by herself (with a buzzard circling, which I kept an eye on and so did...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I have to agree. I can't take credit for his breeding, only his care since he hatched. Hopefully, his good nature will continue and he will be sire to some new beauties in the future. That said, Tallulah seems to prefer the more relaxed life with big old Bash over Angus and Nathaniel at the...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Changed my avatar today. Seems fitting that my main breeding male from this group takes that spot since he's now a pretty impressive guy.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    He is quite the stud-muffin even at 9+ yrs old. Who could blame her, LOL? He's actually chased her away a couple of times, but seems something has changed and they're getting along nicely. I can't leave her with him permanently, of course, but I wish he did have a hen. I guess when she's back...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I just found Bash sitting in the front of the pen looking out his door and Tally was standing behind him, grooming his tail feathers, LOL. That boy impresses women everywhere he goes, even the ones he doesn't much like. It's good for both to have company for a day or two more, at least, while...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Tally's comb is still pale, but the lumpiness/swelling seems to have dissipated. Her poop is still greenish, but more solid. And she is eating very well and getting along with Bash fine. Cautiously optimistic. I would have been devastated if I had lost her. :th
