That would be fun! I would very much like to meet you in person!
Thanks! the shipper used a cereal box as the outside container I could feel that the entire contents was shifting around inside so there was plenty of room for movement. It will be even more of a miracle if I get any but I know a broody will be better at hatching them than I am so maybe.Beautiful!
Congrats on the chicks. I hope the shipped eggs hatch for your broody.
Oooh, I love this male!Today was a nice break from all the rain. The sun came out and the chickens were enjoying the fresh green grass
They are lovely! Michael w/o an SOP did you select for personality size and productivity?The CA Grays were bred to be dual purpose. I like mine. They are good layers.
Here are a few pics of them:
Here's the rooster when he was about 4 or 5 weeks.
Here he was at about 4 months if I remember correctly.
A pullet the same age
At about 6 months
I've been working on a project for over a month now, and I'm, well, not done, but close to the home stretch, at least! Though the "over a month" bit is a bit unusual...
Anyway, I've been a member of a certain website since July of '01 ('tis where I got the Paperlady part of my name--the Amy came from my birth certificate) and, the last few years, it's become a tradition to post a journal a day in November. This year, I decided to write bits of an entry on backyard chicken keeping on the even-numbered days. When the month was over, I compiled everything and edited it. Then I had @ronott1 look it over for me to make sure I didn't have any factual problems (I'd asked earlier in the month) and added a bit more tonight. Now, the way this website works is that, if you want to have what you write be officially included, you submit it to Peer Review, where it'll be checked that it fits the style of the site, and is accessible and enjoyable for laypeople (hm, that makes it sound more formal than it is...), and then it's copied into it's own page, edited and put on the Front Page. If you choose not to put something on PR, it'll still exist on the site, and people can still read it, but you don't get to say you had it on the Front Page. Kind of like the difference between having an article here, and having your article picked to go in the carousel thingy.
So, here's what I wrote: http://h2g2.com/entry/A87844314 If, after it goes through the whole process, there are significant changes, I'll post both linksThough it could be awhile.
