That's adorable! :love

I thought about it before I sold them, but the problem is I live with my parents for cheap rent and to help them when they can't get something done on their own. My mom's rule is that the only reason a chicken should be in the house is if it's injured. Technically speaking, my mom is afraid of...

:lau I don't doubt it! You know, for some reason it never really sank in that there were folks here that didn't have chickens. I think I get it though. Why leave a community you love just because you don't have chickens. I feel kinda dumb now. :lau

Thanks Alaskan. It certainly can be. :lau:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs I honestly wish I hadn't stayed away so long.

One day! I didn't sell my incubators, at least, so when it's time I'll get eggs so I can get it all out of my system in one go. :lol:

Hey folks, long time no see. I'm not entirely sure I was ready to come back here yet, but I kinda feel like everyone I used to talk to a lot should know why I've been gone. I didn't think just being on the site would upset me so badly, but I guess I'm still not over what's happened. Shortly...

I'm not up that way very often, but if I ever am I'll be sure to let you know. :)

A mess! :lol: The EHAL chicks have reached the ugly chick stage. I lost my female CCL. Failure to thrive, but the boys are doing great. In fact, they have company in the form of another assortment. I'll learn one day. I swear I will. But I've got some breeds I've never had before, so I...

My first CCL! Can't wait till it dries out and I can tell what it is!

Deb, you're getting better and better! I wish I had the patience for it. I don't have the patience for a lot of things. I need to get another pic of the chicks. They're feathering out more since I kicked them out in preparation for the CCL hatching. Thankfully there are no Cornish Crosses...

I got a good look at him today as he annoyed me while I was filling up my horse's water barrel. He has a very pronounced rose comb, so it may be safe to say he's half Dom. I don't know the genetics for cusion comb. The white from the White Chantecler seems to be dominant in the half WC roo. He's...

White Chantecler is WC. He was a cushion comb and it ended up being dominant in the WC/BO. The only straight combs in the bunch are the hens (Black Australorp and Black Australorp/RIR). The EE has a pea comb. His parentage is either Barred Rock or Dom over EE. Probably Dom since I hatch one from...

That makes sense since the rooster could be my barred EE. As for the other 2, both have a straight comb. One of them could have come from my eggs, but the other one is pretty fat with slower feather growth than I've ever seen from my own chicks. If it helps, my hens are BA and BA/RIR. Roosters...

Finally! I got a little time to grab some pics of the chicks. Here some of them. There are several out of the 17 that look the same. There a 2 of these. I'm thinking Rainbow Ranger. Andalusian. It has spur nubs already, but as I found out with my 3 girls I had that doesn't mean much. I...

Me too. It looks like this one is going to be blue.

The welsummers and the Andalusian make it worth it. The rest will like likely get sold off as I learn what they are. I probably have a few doms or brs in the bunch and I'm not really a fan. Not a fan of rocks in general.

Looks like they sent me a random assortment of the eggs they hatch and not just what they offer for hatching eggs from specific breeds. The white Marans from a sucky colored egg is in fact a white Marans from a sucky colored egg. It has two little bits of fluff on one leg. I still mostly have...

Probably a barred rock. There are a few more that look like that. I do. My oldest hen is a Black Australorp. The chick in question looks identical to a BA aside from the yellow on its feet, but the yellow is so far up the feet I'm not sure it's actually a Jersey Giant or something else.

I'll have to get a pic that includes all 17 chicks. Some of them are my own layer mutts. Those are pretty. :) Time for round 3. I ended up having to sub the Isabel Orps for CCL. I can't complain since I wanted some.
