Just for you Mikey!



I'm also thinking of submitting this photo for "stink-eye of the year" Whatcha' think?

(By the way, this is his "good" side. You should see the other. I would have photographed it, but was afraid it would break the camera.

Went to check on the livestock before calling it a night and found that my broody hen that hatched 6 chicks about 3 weeks ago had pecked at two of her chicks and they are bleeding. The first chick has both wings that are bloody and missing feathers. It's back is bloody and also it's butt. The second chick has one wing and underneath it are bleeding, but that is it. The other four are ok and this Icelandic mom has always seemed a bit rough with her chicks. I pulled the mom and put her back in the main coop. I brought the hurt chicks inside. I am not sure what happened. Has anyone had this happen before?

Sorry Puffycheeks.

I guess if you don't mind owning a vulture with a duck bill they are OK.

I am sooo looking forward to the fair and seeing all the animals. Hoping I can make some connections for chicks. Trying to hatch shipped eggs is killing me.

What are they? I just might take you up on that.

They are mixed. Hens are EE, RIR, Blue Marans, SS, Black Orpington, and a CC Marans. Rooster for most of these is a CC Marans. The B orpington probably has an English splash roo over it but I'm not sure.

All right, all right, I give in. When can I come pick some up?

PM me with address and $$. I've had FBCM, do the other Marans lay dark eggs, too? Do you think you might have an olive egger in there, too?

mikey and memphis,
i am not, repeat, NOT going to eat my muscovies if they turn out to be drakes. i do think 2 of the 4 are drakes, so one of the drakes will be living at mikey's house

so far they are so sweet and i filled the giant hole the dogs dug with water yeaterday and they went to town just swimming and eating mud. then they followed the baby silkies around the yard, got pecked by the big hens and took a really long nap later in their giant duck brooder in the garage. nope, i don't eat duck.
