I would but they would make me fill out an online trouble ticket first....and then I would have to work on the ticket!

I do have Ameraucana (now how did you know I would say that?), but I don't know if I have any available. I was raising a batch of BBS & lavenders so I would have something to breed to my three lonely cockerels (a black, a blue and a black split to lav.). Literally I have never bothered yet to look as see what I have in that growout pen. If there are LOTS of girls, I may have something, but my luck generally doesn't run that way.

I can try to check through them in the next few days. The problem is there are lots of other birds in that pen, the same age, size and color (marans and black rocks). I need to go through them before I can say.

It was .... Well, not cool, but not hot enough to keep me from going grocery shopping at Pokerville in Plymouth. Sometimes I go that way, into Amador County, instead of the other direction on Mt. Aukum Road to the Holiday Market. Prices are a bit better at Pokerville.

Then I treated myself to a breakfast/brunch meal at Marlene & Glen's Dead Fly Diner (also in Plymouth). I am working my way through all the Eggs Benedict varieties offered. Today's was "My Big Bad Benedict" with bacon, tomato and avocado under the poached eggs. The cook brought me my meal, apologizing that she'd broken the yolk on one of the two eggs and she would bring me another. I told her I was only going to break the yolk myself anyway, don't bother!

My part-time house BR (lays egg in laundry bin, goes outside all day, comes in to roost on TV table at night) scared me a couple nights ago when she didn't come inside at night. She showed up when I was grating the flock to BOSS. Didn't come inside again last night.... So I went looking for her.

My Beth has decided to coop up with the flock IN the coop at night! <*happy dance!*>. She came back inside to lay her egg this morning. Her buddy Punkin went broody again three days ago, but NOT in the dog bed. She found an old wicker cat bed stored under the incubator table, instead. Very, very private. Much better than the dog bed in the living rom.

Out in the coop, Sister 1 is raising her duckling and a black chick hatched the following day. It's a real double-take to see that little black duckling following a huge blue Orp! She hasn't taken her babies out of the coop yet

Kevin the Free Peacock got interested in the open office door off the deck, where those chickens and chicks go in and out.... He perched on the deck railing for some time before dropping to the deck to investigate more closely.

Sparkle the House Silkie went ballistic on him! No wierd birds allowed near her four chicks! He changed his mind and direction to amble down the steps into the garden, then jumped out to perch on the pergola.

pokerville market has great take n bake

OK the stupid stag was at it again. Orlando walked up when he rushed me and pecked him on the head.

You could see him saying " dude if you ruin this I'll personally stick you in the pot"

Then he did a little dance for me. God I love Orlando.

oh, they're beautiful!!

all my chicklets are enjoying the cooler temperatures today, although my light sussex girl seems to be celebrating by going broody. *sigh* -- perhaps i'll just split the 11 eggs Deb sent me between the two broodies, rather than give her something new? but i may need to separate them out of the main flock now, as they're taking up two of the three laying boxes.

IF you move broodies on eggs, does one do that at night? or does it matter, since they're so fixated on sitting?
