@Granny368W I found an image editor that will work. I was able to edit an image, I cropped it, changed the resolution(dpi) and changed it to 1024 for the pixels. go to google play on the samsung tablet and search for photo editor dev.macgyver This is the image I worked on: This is a cake that my Youngest Daughter decorated last weekend. She is practicing her decorating skills! It was a 3.2mb image and is now a 650K image.

Gorgeous cake!!

Anyone here going to the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa this week? I'm heading to bed right now so I can be up bright and early tomorrow to drive down and set up a booth with my boss, plus coop in the show birds. It'll be my third year going, what fun!

I really enjoyed going to the Heirloom Expo today! It was great to meet @QueenMisha and her dignified rooster Norman. I also loved seeing the beautiful show birds.

Know that feeling. I have a couple EE's and a hatchery Jersey Giant (hardly a giant) but mainly I have Pita Pinta and Delawares. Couple of Buff Orps a Cream Legbar pair a Barred Holland and this year I got some hatchery New Hampshires.

You have a diminutive Giant?

I have 4. 3 are definitely bigger than the others and a 4th that makes my Cochins look like bantams. I'm not familiar with some of the breeds you mentioned like the Pita Pinta. I'll have to look that up. I have Delawares too... I knew I was forgetting something girls... did I mention leghorns? Ugh... too many girls!

Do you have a favorite?

Id have to say my Pitas are my favorites followed closely by my delawares. Pita Pinta is a rare spanish breed and very rare in the US (I believe the first ones were hatched from improperly imported eggs) @PetRock and a couple others breed them I have a small breeding flock which has gifted me with numerous boys this year.

They are wonderful birds. Cant say anything bad about them other than if you are looking for a good dual purpose bird they are on the smaller side but reach a good 3+lb dressed cockerel between 22-24 weeks.As far as egg laying is concerned they are great (not leghorns but some of the best compared to large heritage breeds

It was great to meet you too! I had so much fun at the Expo, and I got to meet tons of great people. I feel exhausted after three straight days of so much activity, but it was SO worth it.

For everyone who had suggestions with the dogs I was needing to rehome I just wanted to leave an update. We just got the invisible fence in today. So far it is working!! The dogs are staying away from the fence. We have had the door open all day and they are going out but staying in the yard. I am so excited. This was our last ditch effort. As long as it keeps up we should be able to keep our pooches! So happy!!
