We do try to muddle along without you, Aubrey, but we all like it when you pop in. Good to "see" you, my friend.

Hey Aubrey good to hear from you.The runaway has been captured. I let some others out in the yard this evening and he joined in with them. When they went to bed he followed and the door was shut.

Hope you are not drowning!

Here are pictures of my little d'Anver pen babies at 3.5 months. Counter clockwise from upper right
Mille Fleur roo, ? may be a BBR or Ginger roo, Buff Columbian Roo, Mille Fleur roo, Black pullet, tail of a Buff Columbian pullet and a Mille Fleur pullet.


The three Porcelain are on the right...Thats a Spangled OEGB lurking in the back left.

Same pen I don't know for sure what variety the one on the top left is...maybe a Ginger roo.
The Mille Fleurs are varied in colors...darker to lighter and more or less white, but all are healthy and spunky.


And three pullets that wer in the other pen...
I think this one is a Mille Fleur and she climbs onto you shoe and pecks you leg until you pick her up...a real cuddler.


and this one a Buff Columbian...


But not sure on this one.... she sure is a sweetie.









I'm having to separate the OEGB and the d'Anvers soon...Right now they all get along, but the closer we get to egg laying, the more feuds there might be....of course I could separate the boys from the girls.....

The second roo from the top (in the first picture) has got to be a Quail. The pullet could be a brown red. What color is her breast? If it is laced like her hackles its brown red, if it is rose colored bb red, it it is goldish with no lacing quail. I think.

The last two weeks I have taken chickens to the auction. When I get my check I buy feed whether I need it or not. The price per 50lbs has risen $2.00 in a week.
