I fed huge rattle snakes to my girls ( and boys )...the rattler no longer had a head of course, but they enjoyed some fresh meat!

So is that how it happens, first you get the chickens and then you start considering other birds. I cant beleive, I cant beleive.........we all know we really can but I was actually looking at the DUCKS at the feed store. Their sweet little faces and well gee I do have a nice big pond, why not get ducks.

Actually I do need to do more research on ducks

but I was actually looking at them..............something I thought I'd never do

EXACTLY! I'm like, "hmm.... I can't have a male chicken because of their crowing, but what if I get one that doesn't make much noise? Ducks? Quail?"

Okay, I finally had a chance to upload a few of the many pictures I promised.

Blue Momma w/ her 11 babies

Bonnie, w/ her 5 chicks - I gave her 2 new chicks and she adopted them. ( They're not shown in the pic )

My two other broodies w/ 2 of their 6 babies ( I tryed to get them to adopt some chicks but they tryed to kill them.

)

Here are some pics of the broody babies~

This'n is a bantam EE mutt, the other chick in the background is a game bantam.

Tuxedo, and his pal

My favorite of Bonnie's chicks - This one looks just like a Barred Easter Egger bantam! It's sooo cute!

Two more little broody babe's - the one on the left has such an interesting color pattern. It reminds me of a SLP ( Silver Laced Polish ) chick, without the topknot and the muffs.

The Three Amigos ( Uno Nino and Dos Ninas would be better...

) My three "cheeky" White Ams turned a week old 4/21 ( they're 8 d/o in the pic ) they turned 9 days old today!

The whiter chick is the one I helped out. I'm 90% sure she is a pullet and the other two are boys.

This is the one I helped out, I'm pretty sure she is my only girl.

I put two of Mrs. Fluffy Puffy's eggs under Blue Momma and she hatched both of them out!

They're so stink'in cute. They both have 5 toes and by the looks of it one is black and the other perhaps dark blue.

This little guy/gal reminds me of a mouse!

The chubby 'lil fellow on the left has to be a rooster, he runs around attacking the other chicks in the brooder.

This is another EE mutt, she is one of my favorites.

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy - the proud mother ....actually she doesn't even know she is a mother!

Brooder pics - you can see my pair of Lavender Cochin bantams in the brooder. They're so cute!

In the brooder: Bantam Lav Ams, Buff Orps, Olive Eggers,& B/B Bantam Ams.

This is one of my pet chickens, Dawn.

CUTE!!!​

Meagan: My 5 isa/JG eggs hatched today. They are still drying off in the bator right now. I have 4 dark colored ones and 1 white hopefully splash one. Are your dark ones blue or black??? I can't tell yet because they are not fluffed up yet. I will know more in the morning when they are dried off and then I can get some pics too.

I hatched out wheaten and blue and black marans today too and they are all soooo cute.

Excellent Chandra!!! WTG!

First batch I hatched 5 Blue/3 Splash (the 9th chick that died was blue). The second batch I hatched 4 Splash/1 Blue. I think it is possible for the Isa hen to have left over Blue JG semen from a few weeks prior. Prolific lil buggar! The great thing is if you decide to breed them later on, the blue x splash will create more blue/splash. Take pics. My lil chicks are enormous compared to some of the Ameraucanas that hatched at the same time.

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy....excellent pics!

Oh, and Happy Easter everybody. It is also my DD's b-day today and tomorrow is my son's b-day! I don't have it in me to make cakes for them...what with all this candy in the house. I need a healthy substitute!
