variations of Chocolate a little blue slate legged boy. Not sure which were his parents as they have all been sold off. Most likely the Chocolate Ohiki or the Chocolate Phoenix Bantams. Maybe both. He has been left alone when it hatched out. I thought that is a small Eng orp egg. Then at hatching I thought one of the sold off or rehomed Chocolate Ohiki or Phoenix Bantams Left something behind in a Big Red laced Orp nest.. But what to do with him? Thr mom and dad were sold and I put him and orp sibs in with the Calico Cochin Babydolls. Now the roo in that run has been going after him. He was ok for a month. The red laced that hatched with him were more than twice his size and were recently given away. Oh well, he is a sweetie and no one wants roos without mates so what to di?

We've had continuous thunderstorms all night and this morning. Florida is really good for putting on nice storm shows.

Creve outside is eating like a champ, bawking, walking, and stood on one foot for a scratch. I guess she'll go back out today.

Sad , not so sad thing. I decided to sell my dslr. A few nights ago, I realize that I can't take "bug" pictures with it. How did I not know? With every Panasonic I've had, I've been able to focus down to 1 cm from an object!!!!! So, there I go. I love macro. But this really bites. I just ordered a Pan fz200. I will be posting my "bug" or "water droplet" pictures, LOL

Aubrey Webb sold me eggs 2013 & 2014. In the Ohiki & Phoenix Bantam eggs that hatched were a couple of pairs of Chocolates each year. All their chicks were chocolates too. They were prolific! They did not lay mixes except for a stray cuckoo chocolate feather here or there. The night before the last of the Chocolates were sold we caged them up and cleaned out their runs and one of the girls must have laid an egg in A big Red Laced girl's nest. I sokd the Red Laced orps. I gave the red laced pullets to Woodsdweller and a pair of Bresse. This little roo is such a sweetie. I dont know what to do with him he is so small. And he loves to hike his tail up and his head up and run. and Run, and Run...he does get picked on. The legs are longer than the Ohiki but shorter than the Phoenix Bantams so I wondered if he was a half and half? I have no where ti put him and he is too sweet to cull. He exists and ehat can I do. The man that bought so many from me moved to Florida taking his chickens with him.

Hubby says I am wrong he has ohiki legs.

I'm going with dun chocolate. I'm working on creating sex linked recessive chocolates. I don't know what you could do with him.other than find him a new home. I'm sure if you advertise him, someone would love to have him.

Wow, have not posted for a while. Reading such intimate personal disclousure, wishing I had shared more openly myself during recent rough moments. Signed in to say "don't ya just LOVE chicken people??? I mean really. Twenty one days ago, (twenty two actually) I pulled into the driveway of a total stranger because of the "fresh eggs for sale" sign at the street. (And the sign at the door said they sold honey as well! Yay. But, when the lady and man of the house, on separate lawn tractors arrived...the honey had not come in yet....and they did not know if any of their eggs were fertile. When I explained I had just had to give up my rooster and had a now broody hen...She walked me to her hen house...and gave me the three eggs we fround there....One blue one she said was from a pure Americauna...and her Americauna roo....but being a pullet egg she didn't know if it was fertile....and two other eggs. Well, she would n't let me pay her for them...wished me luck...and was simply delighted when I phoned her to say the first one had hatched last night. And now today a second one is obviously healthy under my good broody...her first broodie...and she is showing each where to drink, where to eat, and even momentarily offered one chick part of a blueberry I had just fed the momma....before she could wait no longer with this chick...and gobbled it herself. So far a very nice and patient mom! ...and aren't chicken people just the best kind of people ever? Yup,yup.
