HI Wynette,

My Avatar is one of my youngsters (Rio, at age 10 months), Tibetan Mastiffs. I have finished my AKC provisionals as a breeder-judge and hope to start adding other working and a few herding breeds as well. I've judged in Russia, Estonia and long ago in Taiwan (TMs).

I've just taken a slew of photos (sun was out, rarity in western OR in early Feb!!) and put them up on my Facebook for anyone interested in seeing them. If you don't have FB I don't think it will work. sorry!

Here are 3 babies hatched 2/10/11 by our Maran roo and or Maran hens. They are really cute in this one pic, early Valentine's Day greeting!! (or is it just me that sees the marking of Valentine's day?)

Hatched 2/10/11???? According to my computer and calendar, today is 2/9/11?????????? Cute heart shaped fuzzy butts though!

And, are these pure Marans? I see you say "by" your Marans roo.

So, I've spent the last few hours taking pictures and uploading them. For our marans study . . . chick photos 10 days apart.

First set taken on day 9 and second set taken on day 19 . . . .

I think I called a couple of chicks incorrectly

. I still did better on the sexing this time around than last time.

First Set - - - 9 Days old

Second Set - - - 19 days old

STILL SAY PULLET on This one
