My 5 year old took this one of her Nankin 
Thanks! We are so in love with all our feathered friends.
My husband had back surgery last February. He shattered a disk July 2010. Since then I have been the one moving the feed sacks, and moving the bags of pellets. I have had issues with my back since my daughter was born in 2004 (had to do physical therapy in 2004, 2005 and 2006). Never had an MRI of my back so I'm wondering what's up. Bending 200xs a day at my job (I'm a Head Start teacher) dosent help my issues. 11 weeks until summer break so I cant wait!
Hi guys
I hadn't been able to clean under rabbit cages since I first broke my wrist, so got Dakotah ans Kayla out there today with me. Did some one armed shoveling and then turned around and they have hay all over the place. Oh well, it'll be easier to clean next time.
Dakotah can't feed the birds. I have a roo that is out 24/7 and he's been flogged every single time he goes out there. Not to mention that he wanted chickens till mom got carried away and can't stand them now. so I had to fight off the roo while he shoveled and carried buckets to the raised bed. It's full of birds right now that are going through everything. So they pooped out on my. Dakotah is laying across his bed totally out. Makayla ran next door to play the first chance she got.
My daughter and her boyfriend are useless. I had chicks that hadn't had fresh food for 2 days just before Sunny picked them up. I had been able to get out and feed the the couple of days before, but they were some hungry babies for days. I swear these 2 deserve eachother, they have minus brains. I had no water with my recent quail hatch, so have 3 out of 11! One rabbit cage had 2 waterers one had none. No casualties THANK GOD! Brooder chicks outside..........same dang thing as last time. Feeder full of shavings and an indoor tub with my Silkied AM baby! OMG 2 lost FBCM chicks! My daughter tells me something is wrong with my chicks, so I get up and check and SHAVINGS!!!!! WTH?????????? So I have 1 FBCM chick left out of 3! The AM and ohhhh...don't remember what Karen gave me for company foor that one...are fine and of course the OE's that I always get to hatch, but so mad about those Marans chicks I could scream. OH!!! And when they fed then yesterday, they fed rabbit pellets, not layer. I can understand since they aren't marked, but I told then to feed Gamebird crumbles. I got more done with one hand than these ding dongs did with 4!
OK Sunny, is that one chick staying black????? If so it is a pure FBCM from a Davis hen and Prestley/Valentine roo. Should be very nice. If they're mossy they are going to lay either brown or olive.
I have 3 OE chicks if anyone wants them. Looks like all pullets. They're just starting to feather in.
I'm going to be taking some roos to auction on monday. I'm going out to try and get picks, so if someone needs a pretty roo let me know. I'm still trying not to get rid of Jovi, but if someone would give him a good home and return him if they change their mind, I might do that. He's big and gorgeous. His dad came from one of the bluest eggs I've ever seen and was SQ blue AM and mom is a Davis hen, so he would be great with some OE or EE hens.
This is Jovi and Sterling. Sterling was hatched from Lav AM eggs. I've seen a project on the AM thread with birds that look like him, but everytime I ask a question on the thread a bizillion pics go up right behind mine and I NEVER get answers. I wanted to keep him, but need to get rid of roo, soooo He is available too.
