Yay for Shadow! I am so glad to hear she is all healthy and laying- and someone will go broody sooner or later. I'm not worried. Your girls will do the job! I think it just means there are certain special ladies in the wings for Ultrasuede and they just haven't been laid yet. If you know...
Serrin, I am glad to hear Griffin is turning into your sweet baby - he is SO pretty. I had a better morning with my biter- I decided to rename him and do a few other things-I told the story over on the Delaware thread. I didn't know, getting into this, exactly how responsive chickens can be -...
Cynthia, you are so sweet to keep trying - we will wait patiently- I just hope Ginger and Livvie and Ivy feel better- how is Ginger acting, by the way?
Well, I will keep doing it- He doesn't struggle when I pick him up, which makes me think it IS an attention thing - hopefully one of these days he will get the idea- he reminds me of certain young colts who had to be taught a thing a two-
How are the girls this morning, Cynthia? And is Nugget...
Cetawin-I hope that's all it is- I opened up tonight to refresh water and he practically stalked my hand- he went for it and I turned the metal feed scoop over and he got it instead of me - he was pretty surprised- what do you do to stop it besides pick Fattie up first? It's hard for me to pick...
Yup, he drew blood yesterday- it HURTS. The girls peck and taste and grab- he bites. He holds still when I pick him up and scold him, and looks me right in the eye. He even sat on my lap. I think he is biting before he knows what he is doing- it happens so fast.
No, Ultrasuede is still being skittishly flirty- it's Roo Choice #1 with his probable five point comb and magnificent stance. . . . we had two little biting incidents yesterday- gotta get that boy over it!
Kathy, I love the feathering on the sweetie in that last picture- I am really falling hard for blue birds- wow!
Serrin, I hope Griffin is clean as a whistle and not having him at a distance won't make any difference!
A Blue wyandotte- why do I think I knew that's what it was supposed to be??? Was that mentioned in a past thread that Serrin was getting one? He is beautiful!
Cetawin- the first picture is so typical- I have to hang out there with the camera for a while before I can shoot any pics- they need...
Serrin, Congratulations! Griffin is pretty, pretty, pretty!!!! My ignorance is about to show now, however- what is he? The reason I question is because his comb is blurred in the picture -or my computer has sleep in it's eyes yet- whatever he is, I love him to pieces- these blue and splash...
NOOOOOOOOOO!! Not Shadow!!!! This is crazy! Your poor girls- this is not fair. You take perfect care of your babies!
As to Ginger- so if they don't lay for a long time, the eggs build up and eventually kill them? How is she acting? I am curious, not just because it's you and Ginger, which I...
Cynthia, thank you again for the advice- I did think I was going nuts this morning! I hope you get the number of pullets you want from this- but if Fern's boy is a beauty. . . . . ??????
