Eggciting news! The Olive Egger that Notinoz hatched out for me laid her first egg yesterday-and its a nice light olive color!


Also, I picked up some roos from Kev'schickadees today. One of them is a mature, pure-bred, white Ameriucana. He's a very pretty boy, although Kev said he'd been a little bit aggressive lately. He's good sized and a real looker, so I hate to eat him, but I absolutely cannot keep him. If you are interested, I'll give him away for free, but you have to be able to pick him up tomorrow, since he's crowing.

We'll keep you in mind if we do get rid of him, but I think we'll keep him for now. We're pretty sure we have a Black Copper Maran and a New Hampshire roo, also, so I doubt we'll be able to keep three of them. I want the other two more than the silkie, but everyone is awfully attached to every last one of the chickens. If we get rid of Partridge, we'll have to send his best friend, Splash. Then my wife has to get a few more Silkies and the cycle just starts all over. I'm honestly not sure what'll happen in the end.

Hopefully, he'll stay as quiet as he was this morning. The only reason I heard him was my wife opened our bedroom window and told me to listen for him. It sounded like he was trying to crow through a mouthful of water. It was pretty adorable.

Has just had my suspicions confirmed. My Partridge Silkie is a roo. I heard "her" crowing away this morning. Very cute but its still a roo. I told hubby months ago that I thought she was a roo and he told me no no no......

BBQ and ale, what could be better. Maybe I'll host a Tucson gathering and meet some local chicken peeps.

I just finished mashing the grains on an IPA. I tossed about a pounds worth into the run. The girls are going apey over it.

This too was cute of my "girls" until they perfected their song:

From Daphne to Dabney in one crow

From Cecilia to Cecil in one crow

I had to start bringing them in the house as they began crowing before daylight:
 
I just wanted to thank AZKat for selling me the two hens! We named the Aloha reject Maizee and the Red Sex Link Rosie. Maizee layed us a fine little egg yesterday! It's the prettiest cream colour! I'll post pictures later... Rosie picks on everyone, including Maizee, but she's getting better... Thanks again!
