I want! If I had that in my yard, I wouldn't be anywhere else. I can't wait for more consistent warmer weather. It's getting there, for me anyway. Last summer we bought one of those Egg grills. The Komodo Acorn Jr. It's the small one. I grilled a whole chicken on it the other day. It was AWESOME!!! Depending on how often we use it, we are talking about possibly investing in one of the bigger sizes. So I can do turkeys and other larger meats.

yes I think they were retired breeders, I remember asking the guy something about breeding them and he said they had litters before... this was back in the 1980's
I used to hunt rabbits back then , but the population had dropped when the coyotes showed up. Thought I would raise my own LOL

Hunting rabbits! Were those wild ones any good to eat? They're awful dinky around here.

I'm never going MIA that long again... never!!!

Just a quick detox. You know, had to kick the addiction. Now you're ready to have a healthy relationship with BYC, right? RIGHT?

Here's an update of pics on my wee ones. They are 2 weeks old tomorrow. Some did NOT want to cooperate with getting their pictures taken so I took what I could lol.

This is Daisy, the Austra White

This is Violet, the Blue Ameraucana. Meyer had a pic of a darker colored "Blue Ameraucana" and a lighter colored bird. Maybe I am getting the light colored. Depending on the light her wings almost look like a silvery purple. Maybe I should've named her Lilac instead. But I like Violet so Violet it is.

Regarding the light colored chick in the pic. We named her Willow and she is the Lakeshore Egger. I was trying to take a pic where you could see her little mohawk that she is getting. It's cute.

This is my problem chick, Jasmine. Or as I affectionately call her, Jazzy. The Black Copper Maran. She is such a sweetheart.

May not be the greatest pics but I hope ya'll can see how much they've feathered out. Most of them have nice tail feathers in as well. I have a few that are slower bloomers.

OMG they are soooooo cute!!!! mine come in a month
