yes, they're scans of the polaroids -- do the same thing with film. the only digital cam i have these days is my iphone...

My scanner broke a while back. I feel handicapped not being able to scan to make copies or anything. I plan on getting a Nikon film camera in a couple years. I wish sooner- but time and money and time... LOL I do edit my photos but not much of a photoshop girl. Real is so much more interesting than 'fake'. I'm sorry about your pullet.

if my hatch goes as planned
in the incubator I have

6 icelandic eggs
3 ee x icelandic ( rooster)
7 olive eggers x icelandic rooster ( hoping for some cool crested ee)

if anyone wants any let me know. just trying to see if my incubator works so
in about 16 days will be free to good homes. ( for threadies that is)

thanks -- i am missing her sweet temperament, as is Daisy, the australorp who she totally looked after -- but also delighted with the new sussex pullets (6-7 weeks old?), who look an awful lot like her, AND the new teeny babies today!

and your chicken photos are great! at some point i'll need to get my old DSLR back from my mom, as it's very hit-and-miss trying to shoot film of the girls, they move so fast!

best,
laura

What happens if you cross a pink egg layer with a blue egg layer?

a Dr Suess egg

no I think it would be a lighter blue but could be pink as well I would think.

how many people have open air coops and if so where do you live? elevation wise.

not entirely sure what you mean by open air? mine is a 4x8' mostly-enclosed (but lots of venting) henhouse within an 8x12' wire mesh-enclosed run -- elevation is 1625' on Sonoma Mtn, between the Sonoma Valley to the east & 101 corridor to the west...

haha lol. I was wondering because a blue egg x brown egg layer = olive egger. So what must a pink layer + blue layer = x? Pink and blue make lavender on the color wheel...but I am completely ignorant when it comes to the science of breeding.

I've got a hoop coop with a tarp over one end. We're at about 800 feet, so it hardly ever freezes here. All the birds really need is a place to get out of the rain & a good windbreak.
