That is a nice looking Leghorn! Who knew that TJs pullets could look like that!

I agree... I had leghorns years ago...they did not look like this. This is a very beautiful Hen!

Today should be a good day! I made Cheese Cake with Oreo crust last night and had a slice for breakfast. I also started pizza crust for tonight! I took a couple of pictures today of one of the Amelia chickens-Cream Legbar X Crele Pene Olive Egger chickens. Check out the crest! This picture was taken just before the cat wanted to play. The chick flew into the headboard..Boy can they fly! The flash was not being nice to me this morning and I had to get out of the house--Daughter to school and me to work. I will try to get a better picture of my Bresse pullet this weekend. She is still in Quarantine.

Congrats Ron...very pretty! Can't wait to see the eggs from the Amelia's. I am Currently incubating some blue isbar rooster x blue and splash maran eggs. I'm thinking the next generation eggs should turn out very nice. Time will tell

Just got a photo of her today. Man, she is really hard to photograph. Hard to tell if she is a chicken or a pile of feathers! Is she a good example of what you were describing?

What do you got there?

Edit...I just looked a more pictures....

so cute!

Hello from a fellow State of Jefferson-er.

Hello! There are a bunch of us up here. Maybe we should put together a little gathering?

Yay! I finally set my first eggs of the year in the incubator. I have been getting jealous of all of you who have been hatching cute fluffy butts

I set 50 eggs. 19 Barnevelders, 17 blue Barnevelders, and 14 F1 silver Barnevelder project eggs ( the silvers are for my neighbor).

Good luck. I'm getting excited for my Barnevelder's to hatch....

Good luck with thé hatch trisha. And thanks again for thé rooster. I have probably put in à Good 4-5 stare hours on thé splash. Shes beautiful! One of my new favorite chickens. Can i work on yhe splashes lacing andbimprove them? Or is that à No Go?

Who was asking about where to get fertile grocery store eggs? I found these at the Safeway in Ukiah. I tossed a dozen in the bator. Interestingly, the Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op didn't have any fertile eggs...

Ive got to check thé Redding area safeways for fertile eggs. Im getting thé hatching bug seriously!

The lacing should improve. Here is link showing a splash hen and many of the other possible new barnie colors. The lacing is better on the splash, but I think my splash have a darker red base color . I do like the darker color better.

We have had the same problem with ordering polish. I'll be looking for a SLP at the Anderson show. One of my 4-H girls has been trying for at least 3 years to get a girl that makes it to POL.

I have Polish. They're really hardy and even go broody. I got my original flock from a breeder, I know that make a difference. I have SLP but they only put out really nice GLP so far. We'll see this year what I get. Mine are LF.

I tried awhile ago to send you a PM, we were have technigogy issues and I wasn't sure if it went or not. Were you thinking of going to Anderson? It is written on my calander but DH would like to see me go back to work. I should be able to make it down rhough. Be a fun trip with the greyhound and chickens.
