Hey Cherry, Joel and Shy Guy crowed today for the first time! Now for those other 4......
Oh no, I'm SO sorry! Were you able to dispose of the villain fox?

I've got 9 boy-os! So far, only Jack, Piranha, and Cobra are crowing.....I wonder why? Although there aren't any of Jack doing his thing yet, I managed to capture Piranha and Cobra on video.

Good! You're welcome; I know it wasn't much advice, but I was glad to give what I could.
Have fun with those chickies! Mine grew up too fast....now they're outside and going through that independent phase.
~Alex
Thank you! Cassie (one of our Spitzhaubens) has the same pretty spangles.
I sure hope your Porcelain girl is looking better than mine; she's kind of blah. My boy is beautiful, though! He's got the cutest little blue bearded face.
~Alex
She's BEAUTIFUL! And yep, definitely a girlie! She looks so much like Avalon at that age.....Wait, actually this picture was taken when she was a bit older, but still, they look alike.
~Alex
That's so tough....I don't want to give you the wrong advice. Could you try turning off the light for just a little bit before you leave and see how they feel? My guess is that as long as the room they're in is warm, they'll be okay without a heat lamp. Hope everything goes well!
~Alex
I'm so happy that they're turning out to be pullets!
My babies are doing great! There's one I'm not too sure about, which would be one of the Rosecombs. But other than than, I'm pretty sure of what I have! I have a Phoenix cockerel, Porcelain d'Uccle cockerel, Wheaten Ameraucana cockerel...
I've been busy, too, so don't feel bad.
Oh my goodness, I can't wait to see what you're coming up with! It sounds amazing!
Not a good sign at that age.....the waddles are telltale features on some of my babies, too.
~Alex
So do I! They remind me of CLs, only slightly cuter.
Were they the Neiderheiners (I have no clue how to spell it )? The Lemon Cuckoo pattern blows my mind, it's so beautiful.
Have any updated pictures of Poppy/Popeye?
~Alex
Yeppers! We just picked up some from there a few weeks ago. Some of the cool breeds on MPC also come from Brinkhaven Acres, which is where my mom picked up her Isbars.
~Alex
With the risk of sounding redundant, I am so very, very sorry! Losing a pet you love is like saying goodbye to a family member, I know quite well.
~Alex
Most of MPC's birds come from Meyer, which is where we get almost all our chickens and ducks! Did you see the Cuckoo Bluebars? I want some so badly!
