Does anybody have any buff large dewlap toulouse chicks for sale???

they love cold watermelon on a hot day

That's right! I forgot about that. It has been a few years since I gave my original babies away. I actually used to get a tupperware and freeze the water with chunks of mellon in it. Keeps them entertained and cooler.

I love it, it's my new favorite picture of Nelly. She is very torn, when it comes to these chicks...On one hand, she loves to play mama to anything that's a baby(she raised an orphaned kitten that we had, all we did was feed it!). On the other hand, being a working BC, she feels the need to herd EVERYTHING that moves. Usually just animals(including my fish, cats, foster dogs)... But one time she was herding the water in the bathtub while I was bathing the foster dog. So, you know, she usually just stares at them and drools, but if I hold one up by her she licks it(which the chicks don't like!)

I have to crate her when doing the daily photoshoots of my chicks, because otherwise she's in the background of all the pictures, herding the chick.

not sure why but you are correct. The new ameraucana thread is more pleasant as well.
as for dark egg threads I only go to the penedesenca one generally as even on the dark layer threads most people do not know much about them and it is Marans or nothing lol.

The mods edit the bad stuff out of the threads and then close it to posting but leave the thread up for reference and information so we do not see what caused the thread to be closed. Usually the other threads are better--often because the offenders either leave or straighten up and fly right. I am back watching and sometimes participating in a couple of Heritage threads. I am very careful and try to use the Proper chicken terms LOL. Oh and I would not dare use emoticons on those threads....

Some people contributed a bunch of good stuff on those threads that should not be lost.

I KNOW! Fairfield would often get about a week maximum of hot and then we would get the cool from the fog that comes inland. The nice cool evening breeze would blow in. In Roseville, it is hot and sticky with not a breath of air. Although I like Roseville better. Fairfield was starting to get too many gangs and other such undesirables.

I wish I was rich enough to run an AC for the chickens, but I barely run it for me!

I have one Basque that hatched out of two. One was not fertile. I am waiting to see if it is a he or a she. And I have one OE Penedesenca something mix.

What's the weather usually like in Roseville? I know here in Redding it's not uncommon to see 110..

You know I was thinking the other day, what if something happened to Nifty and let's say the forum was shut down? Would all this really valuable information be lost forever? Or is this one of this things where the information will be forever out in internet land?

15 or so Basque will hatch on Sunday and I set 25 more on Friday. These are going to the Egg Farmer in winters. I will be able to pick the best ones for next years breeding and of course I want to use Megans Roosters to jack mine up too! I should have some very nice Basque next year.
