Where'd his butt go??

Lol - at the time, the girls were keeping him humble. They nipped out all his tailfeathers.

It's actually growing back, now. I will have current pics in the auction.

Goodness ! Why do they do that anyway ? Will there be any residual psychological trauma resulting ?

Beautiful birds! I do love the barred bird which I guess is a rooster? Is it the only barred one you have right now? Are you finding the hens lay a nice blue eggs? This is probably a dumb question but why can you not get slate colored legs on a barred colored chicken? Do you or would you sell hatching eggs?

I would say you have done a nice job on your yard candy. I like the one you are showing in the picture!

Yep- the roo is the barred one, and he's split for lavender. Egg color is good- but I won't know what the cuckoo chicks are laying for some time. I expect it to be about the same as these:

The blue-er ones are from the lavenders, the one black split is laying the big green ones. I'm just happy to be getting bigger eggs this generation

Chicks are hatching from the eggs I got from you

. As always I have an early bird...its a little lavender, no head spot that I can tell. Day 21 is tomorrow so Hopefully when I get home from work tomorrow evening I will have more little chickies bouncing around in the bator!

Me too! I have one lav/lav split that pipped when I left the farm so

when I get there in the morning

I think there are 8 or 9 in the hatcher

Woo hoo- keep them coming! Here's to starting off 2012 with good hatches!

Oh gosh I would never mention money!

My husband is on a need to know basis. If he doesn't ask how much, he doesn't need to know.

I actually try not to add up what I spend so then I really don't know when asked. lol! and right here I want to put a smiley with a little angel halo over it's head. lol
