Our dark bantams were a dark gray with lighter gray down on the wings and head.  Buff have red/orange heads.  Ideal and Mcmurry have images of chicks on their websites thatmight help also.  Great breed choice, I think brahmas are great mellow birds, mine remind me of ducks with their deep voices when they chatter at me.  They get hot up here but don't seem to be overly sensitive.

Thanks for the advice. And yes I got a Brahma a while back. He sadly died last year. So I want to have some Brahmas now.

It is beautiful outside this morning. I spent a while playing in the garden.

The view from the chicken yard




Does any one know what this is? It randomly showed up in the garden, so I don't know if it's a plant, or a weed.


This one too. I have a bunch of these and they grow white flowers at the top. Don't know what they are.


Picked these this morning. Looks like i'll have to start canning tomatoes soon.

That looks a lot like night shade. Just to be safe, get rid of all of it.

We are being overrun with tomatoes too. Time to do some canning and salsa.

I second this. The first thing that popped into my head was nightshade.

welcome to the new folks.

we had a pretty neat Thunderstorm last night. Of course my dog was freaking out the whole time so I was up too.
I think it was east of us some as I did not hear it rain. it was dry this morning but you could smell the rain in the air

Jason, you were surrounded. The thunder/lightening went on here from 11-2 and quite close. I had four dogs barking and upset. The great dane stayed pressed against my leg (she had to come and help me brush my teeth by pressing to my kneecaps in front of the sink - quite a lean to spit).

It rained from about 12-1:30, lightly at first but a decent soak in the end. I was thinking, yay, I don't have to water the potted plants on the deck tomorrow.

And Jason is the one to ask on the plant ID.

I was hoping for some rain. So far only humidity

In the Summer, storms have to be very powerful to bring rain into the Valley. Thunderstorms can follow the Sierras up the range so rain there is more common.

In June it took an Atmospheric River to give us .2 inches of rain.

i don't know that it is, it looks like the little berries are growing in clusters, and i don't think deadly nightshade does? also the leaves don't look the right shape, they look almost more like something in the mint family. do you have a clearer photograph?
