    We now call our covered porch the "poop-deck".

    Well, of course, Amy! Incubating eggs is the cure for the blues anytime.

    Quote: Thanks! Dutch used to be really calm and sweet, stood still to be picked up, etc, but he sort of changed his opinion of me personally for some reason after I had to remove him from his girls for his own protection every night for a couple weeks (they were picking on his comb and wattles...

    No, the Hinkles don't have Blues to my knowledge, just lavs, blacks and I think whites. I got Suede and Velvet (who died a year ago) from BamaChicken, Skye (who died a couple months ago) from Jim Cox in W. VA and Dusty and Smoky from someone on the west coast.

    Quote: Yes, the saddles are necessary for Suede's women. Due to his size, he tends to damage the girls, even when we trim his spurs. The BRs do fine in most settings. Lately, mine are penned and only get to range about once a week, but at the moment, I'm growing grass and have to keep them...

    I'm adding my blue Orpington girls for joletabey to check out. She has a cockerel out of Smoky and Suede, called Ultrasuede, and I'm hatching six of Dusty's eggs so he can have some women.

    They're great layers. Ivy and Lexie still lay several eggs each week, usually, though they are 4 years old. Ivy has almost died twice from reproductive infections, but she has bounced back and looks good again. Lexie is finishing her molt right now, but when she's done, I'm sure I'll get 3-4...

    That Lexie kept me and alot of folks guessing for awhile with her cockerel-like coloring. She had all signs of being a sexing mistake, but obviously, she was a girl. She's mother to many birds around BYC, but she is really showing her age in her face and now has bad arthritis in her feet, poor...

    I'm posting pics of my current BR ladies for someone. As most know, Lexie and Ivy are about 4 years old and both are Ideal girls. Becca and Amanda came from helmstead's flock, which was a generation or so removed from hatchery stock. Fern, nutty girl that she is, is the daughter of Ivy. My...
