You gang have been busy on here while I have been on holiday's.
I will have to catch up at work tomorrow.

Thanks Lori and Cyn for the congrats! A win is a win in my book!
Edited: because I am a dork and forgot I am on hubby's laptop, not mine, so I am on here as him right now. But, anyway, thanks from the both of us!

Good job on the win! Like AC said, win IS a win and a lot of hard work to get that placement.

Hey, guys, had DH wrangle the chicks so I could get pics before the snowstorm hits. I got two of the D'Uccles and it appears that one is a cockerel and one a pullet and not sure about the 3rd whose pics didn't come out.

Suspected cockerel:

Probable pullet and darkest of the three:

Their coop mates, a pure Delaware of yet to be determined sex, then a Delaware x BR/blue Ameraucana (definite boy). These two are two weeks old, a week younger than the D'Uccles:

Lovely!

I agree on your gender guesses.

I hope the 3rd one is a pullet. If not, will have to find a home for him. A trio would be just awesome!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

That would be awesome!

that you get a breeding Trio - then you can get utterly addicted to D'uccles!

I would say for the D's, 1st cockerel, 2nd & 3rd pullets. Love those fluffy buggers! So cute, thanks Cyn for sharing your babies! Wow, that snow storm sounds bad on you east coast southener's !!! Then over the weekend we are supposed to be getting the storm you have and another passing over through PA, colliding with the Boston area! I hope not, we want to be at the hotel Friday for Saturdays show in Springfield, MA. Can't wait!

Hi everyone, I just jumped on here real quick before heading out into the snow-storm to do chores in 'almost' 20* temps. Burrrrrr

Cynthia, the babies are adorable...I still say that little boy is a BLUE M.F

But then again, it may be my eyes or the color on my puter. Either way it would be nice if you did indeed have a trio

What color does everyone else think the little cockerel is...even wings look drk blu to me and not black???

I'll be back on later today to catch up with everyone. Take care, have a great Monday!

Hey Misty, wondering if you were still planning to ship my eggs today? Not that I am waiting or anything

Just wondering when I should start stalking my post office.

Can't believe we have snow in Atlanta..... again! Go figure.
