OK I'm posting Lavern all over for some comments. Camera phone pics, so bare with me and I'm going to try for some better ones when the weather cooperates.
Also, the prize I won at Chickenstock was a $25 gift certificate from Twin City. I got catalogs and the certificate, do I just mail the back page and the certificate in? I'm thinking I'm going to order a fertility booster. My FBCMs for the most part are older and I want to see if something helps get some chicks for me this year.
Thank you. I just love her. She's starting to get a little standoffish like a lot of the others. I've started picking her up more like I used too. She's a sweet bird. I'm not sure about my other pullet. I think I see hackle and saddle feathers coming in. Figures. My for sure cockerel I think is Shafer??? Karen would know.
Here's a pic of my blue girl. She's from a BBS breeding from rockinpaints
My husband has been busy building some cages for our bantam SQ Polishes and bantam SQ Cochins. We wanted to build our show birds nice predator proof cages. The area they are in are regular chicken wire on the sides and wood on the bottom. The mice go right through the wire. We have an issue with mice at times (even tho we pay pest control to come out and help with this). It feels like we will go months without seeing any then I will go and check on the birds at night and see 2! YUCK
