That is one gorgeous little chickster, JJ! Don't you dare tempt me with new colors!!

Not trying to tempt you, I just put the eggs in and see what comes out. Maybe show off a little. Just setting here waiting to see what else hatches. I got three more of those millie eggs in the hatcher. Two of them are pipped and are just agravating me. There is also another egg pipped from the silver quail that looks a lot like the one the blue one came from.

How exciting, I look forward to seeing the pictures of the hatches, would love to see a grown blue silver quail, if thats what that chick is, sounds beautiful.

sounds like you have it all about right JJ. I kinda thought the tail thing may have just been for him being PO ed with picture taking. I get that a lot in mine. They pose perfect til I try to take a pic. If there is a point on the comb, that's good enough, keep taking him to a good hen blue or otherwise, and you should get some good birds there. He has the potential, just needs a good mate to help bring it out.

Thought that was what you did too on the blue silver. That'll be a pullet then. silver male to red/gold hen makes silver hens and yellow/golden males
So as long as it stays white, I'll be a girl. Not quite sure what the blue gold male will look like as a chick, would think it would have a more yellowish down color to the throat. A few more hatched will tell the tale on that. When you get another blue one that looks a bit different, that will be your golden males. Look forward to seeing them all grow up. Just take those blue pullets back to a silver male next year and you'll get some of both in both sexes...

That will just make it grow up tuff, like Rusty.

pppffffffffffffttttttttttttt Rusty is a wussy...toerag attacking from the side and behind....face this woman like a man when you attack or go play with your toys elsewhere! At least My Little Love just runs at you and let's you have it (well Cyn not me cause he lurves me).

Don't forget to visit the SDWD thread (link above, near ugly chick pic) and cast your Delawegger vote for President. I am telling you she is Da Bomb. Sired by Speckledhen's Delaware roo Ike and mom is her EE June. Best candidate on the ballot, you especially Red need to be reminded to vote for her and where to vote because I have noticed how I have to remind you of important things like:

toerag vs real Little Man ... ugly chick vs cute chick....

PS: Both those boys are ugly too, they should come here with ugly chick I'm just sayin.... *snicker*

I have read many of your posts on this thread and you are a hoot. HOpe some day to meet you.

Well thank you...Speckledhen likes me most days so I guess I am not too bad....Aubrey tolerates me in his thread pretty well but he is so nice and patient he deserves a medal or a sainthood and well Red4x4 really tolerates me( while throwing tomatoes at the monitor and stuff)...another patient person.

Let me tell you about Rusty. I thought he was going to that Great Roost in the Sky today. He has a thang for my elderly Buff Orp hen, Sunny. He jumped Sunny's bones today in the coop and the carnival ride began. He was bucked off in short order, but Sunny wasn't satisfied with just removing the little toerag from her back. She went after him with a vengeance, chasing him around the coop. At one point, she literally jumped on top of him, pounding him in the head and I thought I was going to have to scrape a deceased Rusty pancake off the coop floor! I actually held my breath for a second (I was out in the storage area looking into the coop to witness the rodeo) till I saw that he survived the Wrath of Sunny. I didn't zoom to his rescue because, frankly, I didn't expect Sunny to be so, well, assertive, in her effort to disengage from the lovesick toerag.



ETA: Aubrey, I guess you aren't getting any porcelain eggs yet, but I wanted to let you know that I decided it was best just to hatch from the crew I have for now. I know where to find you, though, if I do need some in the future! Thanks for being so patient with me (and my crazy, but lovable, pal, Cetawin).

See I told you he was tuff. My Dad use to tell me "Boy, if you are going to be dumb, then you got to be tuff." Well I have another black chick and a millie that hatched. This millie looks different then the last. It is still wet so I can't tell for sure if it is right yet. Going away tomarrow so pics on Sunday.

[tinychicky]

hey everyone, just wanted to chime in to say saren laid her first egg yesterday! teensy lil thing, about the size of a quarter and creamy white. can't wait till she starts laying 'real' eggs lol!


she wasn't too fond of that bright, flashing thingy...look at that stink eye!






the rooster on the other hand loves to show off for the camera!

Sonny should not have to tolerate being violated by the toerag ...she need to open a big can of whoop azz in there. They gang rape Shadow and try to violate her....Toerag asked for it.
