Thanks all, yep I'm pretty excited a few opportunities already, but I think the best is still yet to come. This could mean more space, more breeds...woohooooo

My sister sent me some cool pics that she got from someone. Just some cool random stuff from all over. I really liked this one so had to share. A little out of season, but sweet.

Awwww! Now I want to see the follow up pic when the little boy first sees his Dad.

Good luck Cheryl! Gee I wonder if anyone up here wants to rent some land for chickens?

I was thinking the same thing. They should have had that pic too.

Well I guess when I look for a place I should thing rental space as well. LOL

This poor little Game chick isn't doing very well at all. I was really hoping he'd get better. My neighbor has seen him, so not upset. I don't know how long he held onto these eggs before I set them. But this chick is barely hanging on and nothing I've done has held. That frustrates me. I think I did better doctoring before I even went through Pre-Vet Med. It sucks. I guess my expertise is dogs and exotic birds.

I need to get some wire over here. I haven't heard what the weather is suposed to be doing, but I need to reclaim my backyard, make room for brooders and get my raised bed planted and another made. Then I have to finish turning the yard and go back over a lot that was turn and grade it this time. Amazing how my brown yard has become so green in all the laces that aren't done.

I have 2 broodies now. Fat Chick was on a mission and one of my Silver Phoenix is hopefully going to hatch me out some more of those. I only have the trio from the Stockton show and I'd like to have at least one if not 2 quads. Mt roos tail feather that I picked u and measured is 30" long. They are so beautiful. Just so flighty that I have to keep them well contained. I want to build a small Hoop Coop with enough height for my roo to let that gorgeous tail hang so I san see it.

Been childless here since Easter. Not sure I want that to change. LOL Just kidding. I mess them, but boy is it quiet here. Well except the occassional crow or egg song.

Think I'll walk over to the auction tomorrow and see what kind of supplies I can come up with.

OH and I need a blue AM roo. I have this other one and I would really like to use him, I'm just still so angry at him over Harley that I'm pretty sure he's going. Funny thing. Most people say AM roos are very friendly and gentle. I've had good ones, but this one and the blue that hatched from the same eggs are not what I want. I want friendly and if I have to chase one down to stop them from hurting another bird, it's not worth it. So if someone has a NICE blue please let me know.

I've been offered another space at the ranch, but am also going out to a friends house in Clayton this morning, she has 15 acres and says I can have whatever I need. I hope it looks like a good fit, it will be a 35 minute drive each way, but she has laborers that can help clean coops etc. I'll let you know how it pans out. I've had so many offers to partner with really great people as well, I feel blessed

New breeds...???? Well I've got these Tolbunt polish that are getting close to laying and soon also I'll be ready to move out the 9 Rhodebars I have. I may also dabble in show quality speckled sussex with Debi as a partner...we'll see

But if I have more space I will probably take on a few extra breeds - I love gold neck booted bantams (I love spotted chickens)

Additionally I may build some extra grow out pens. I've got a ton of silver pencils and mille fleur leghorns that i need to grow out for my future breeding

Well it's not confirmed but it looks like Clayton may be it. She has a fenced in area of over 1100 sq feet I can use. I can have 10 pens in there I think

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I should know tomorrow night
