Hi Everyone!
We've decided this year to sell a few Lavender Orpingtons. Our birds are bred for larger combs, and a deeper lavender color. We participate with NPIP and ship to the lower 48. www.foxhead.wix.com/fox-head Take a look, they are gorgeous!
I had an issue with frostbite as well. What I ultimately did for a fast fix was line the coop walls with plastic. This helped tremendously to eliminate the drafts that I could not locate. I bought a roll for $9 and stapled it up. I also covered the run door. Now I leave the main door open for a...
Yes, I like making biker wallets (long wallets). I've been working a lot more on construction, and trying pattern making.
Just putting this link out there because I have it for sale... http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/for/4882037532.html
Thanks for the compliment wyoDreamer!
sebocat you sheath is awesome!! It looks great, and it would really pop with color! Keep posting as you try new things!
I know with my Lavender Orpingtons, the hens feather much faster. Because I have eggs that hatch consistantly, I'm happy whenever I wake up and I see a little chick sprouted tail feathers!

Yes, I worked for Tandy and still do workshops on weekends. Tandy carries gel antiques that are water based, so it's easy to move the finish around with a damp sponge to get the look you want. I antique over my colors a lot. Fiebing's makes different antique pastes that work well too. You can...
That's awesome tooling! My FB page link should be under my post if you'd like to check out some of my other work. The only way I've ever learned is by my mistakes too. Definitely keep going, you've got it! Anytime you'd like to post pics, I'd love to see them!
Hey BYC!
Are there any fellow leatherworkers out there?? Post pics of things you've made, hope to make, or want to have made!
Most of my work is tooling leather. I love it. Lately, I've been making long wallets. Are there any purse makers?
I use an incubator and egg turner from TSC. I've had no problems with it. I've had good hatch rates too. The biggest issue was getting the temp/humidity readings. The thermometer and humidity gauges are off on mine. It is a common problem for these models. I ended up purchasing a digital...
Hi Everyone!
Just thought I would share what I've got cooking! I have a very nice line of Lavender Orpingtons that I've been working on for sometime now. Personally, I like the darker lavender and larger combs! Soon I'll be selling day olds and hatching eggs. Like my FB page and stay updated...
