Dixie Chicks

[bellablueyes]

Please notice the shape of the combs & wattles, the shape of English orpingtons and not Wyandottes. Please notice the color of feet not wyandottes. Then please notice my amature attempt at an unheard of Blue Laced Red English Orpington by noticing the feather coloration. I am still working on it.

Beautiful birds!!! I want some laced cochins. I really like the golden laced but and lacing would be great!

blue laced reds are hard to start. They look good

I am so happy they found that box of ducklings and they are ALIVE! Now I hope they can finish getting them shipped out to their new home tomorrow.

Those five cats had to be bathed.
The fleas are terrible this year.
We used new flea collars.
Drops from vials at the base of the back of their heads.
Then pills.
They are still flea bags!
Now they have been bathed in flea shampoo and rinsed and are drying. As soon as they are dry they get new collars again.

About our garden this year,..
First came the deer and the rabbits.
Then our own chickens! Traders. They were worse than the deer and rabbits. Now we have the worse case of JAPANESE beetles I have ever seen. We spray Saturday morning after everyones chicks are gone and ours have been moved to their new housing and repaired housing. Every critter must be kept locked up for a while. Every one was moved temp and everyone will be moved permanently and everyone must be locked up. Must! There willl be no more coyote attacks!

Hello and welcome to all the newcomers!

Everyone, I really want to thank you all for the support, suggestions, tips and advice... sorry, I can't tag each person on my phone...

BriardChickens, sorry for your eggs, hope they are ok...

Yay, Beer can, hope you get your chicks soon...

Minihorse, soooo glad the ducklings were found alive!!

Sam, hugs back, thanks...

Amberjem, it was a bad evening and night... their dogs are confined in kennels in their house, his wife said she'd take them in Mon on her day off but he says no... will see Mon...

We have arranged to pick up fence panels first thing Mon morn and will be working hard to get that up and finished...

@Alaskan Thank you very, very much for your kind offer... I will keep it in mind and it does mean a lot to me... but as I said to @seminolewind I won't bring in anything til their safety can be guaranteed...

I may be cutting back some breeds as well, we'll see how the next week goes... as it was last night, I almost rehomed every bird... this massacre has been extremely hard and I do not want any of my animals to go through that again...

Aren't they just the cutest little things!?! I am so happy I got some and I'm getting more tomorrow. Mine are so small. I have some silkie chicks in with them that are 3 weeks younger and they are smaller than the silkies!

I don't anymore. Ever since I kicked my Tennessee Mountain brindle Cur out and tied him up by the coop I haven't lost anymore.

He is a insane nutcase, will whine all night pacing, he likes it better outside. Wife made me bring him in first -25 night this winter, lasted three days, OUT you go!
