Wow Lucy! You look amazing!!! I shaved my head when i was in high school for St Baldricks, I may have lost my date for prom but i made a lot of people very happy and i would do it again in a heartbeat!!And here she is!!! Our beautiful and gorgeous Lucy!!!!
awww that was so sweet! and short hair is so easy!!!I'm trying... My kids loved it when they saw me tonight, my little girl kept saying, Momma you look so pretty and your eyes look even bigger now
I will get used to it and probably love it even more than I did when it was long..
bantam EE, i would hatch your ownI am considering the silkies and bantom Americauna for my byc project. Since my traumatic experience years ago with the larger birds biting, pecking, clawing, and trying to rip my throat out and blind me with their talons and beaks, I want to stay small and timid if possible. The city code here allows up to 5 hens and no roosters after they reach 6 mons. Attwoods will be getting chicks in a few weeks but they don't have much variety.
I can't grow them in the incubator, I am not that brave yet. That takes real guts as we witnessed here on the Duck Chronicals.
I am told Silkies are hard to raise? Husband says chickens that look like furry little bunnies can't lay large enough eggs to make a decent omelet.
Getting the coop at Atwoods too, as hubby's first attempt at making one turned into firewood after closing the door for the first time.
I have to have good layers with sweet dispositions.
You ladies have the knowledge and experience that can't be found in books. My degree is in law, not in raising birds, so any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
I want them large enough for medium eggs and small enough that I can defend myself against them if they decide to rebel and go on the attack and try to scratch out my eyeballs with those talons.
Yes, I am a victim and survivor of my own flock of ducks, geese, RIR chickens and a peacock turning on me and trying to kill me. I am sure it was the mean one eyed RIR rooster that instigated the attack.
So any ideas you gals have on chicks that are good with small children and cowardly adults, would be a godsend as I haven't got a clue.
My dear friends, I beseech your kindness and knowledge in seeking nice birds.
NO Godzilla chickens. I don't want to have to wear riot gear just to feed them.
Help please!
Scaredy KAT in OK
LOLI agree with Ravyn, try hatching! You will love it!
But as for chicks, my vote goes to bantam cochins. Nice size egg for a docile little beautiful bird. Plus, they don't move quite as fast as some others, because of their heavily feathered little legs, and fat round bodies.
e
went down to feed them and do a head count since I didn't get out of bed yesterday and sadly one was missing. I walked the pond twice, mustered up the energy and got into the canoe and paddled out to the Island, no baby there either..Not sure what happened, don't even want to imagine what happened or think about it. I'm so mad at myself for being to tired to take care of them like I know they need. I tried to get the remaining 5 to come out of the water so I could put them in the pin but they weren't having it. No more 6 pack
