I myself was a Wright Patterson Air Force baby. Hate to hear such tragedy.

Glad your hubby was safe.

She is looking very buff-mottled-ish, isn't she. Very pretty little girl! (if I do say so myself)

Nice cheeks and bear, and I do believe the toes are quite nice also?

Yes, she has GREAT feet. Lots and lots of feathers, and wonderful middle toe feathering. She and Midas should make some gorgeous babies.

I would have to agree...she is very pretty!

She looks good.
So we can only wait to see what comes out off your crossing with Midas.

off subject but what happened at the USAF base?

I do adore the colors of the silver, they just POP at you. I do like the butterscotch, well, everyone of them that I've seen. Me Likes these D'uccles!!!

Keep those photos coming, love to see what others have, how they are breeding. One thing I found today, why I didn't pay attention to it, but Ruthie has 1 middle toe nail that grows straight up, we did have a chick that I had to cull that had her mothers middle toe nail. Is there a way to breed that out of her offspring or is that one of those things that you just let those birds go for pets?

So i got pics of my dolls!!!




so the MF is Princess and she isn't what i was expecting her to turn out to be,

not very happy with her tail shape and the way it joins her body. Im going to cross her with fredrick tho because i think he will even out her body weirdness.

And i am not sure what i am doing with my Porc girls, they are my show birds and i don't have any thing to pair them with and i dont think Fredrick will help them.

Do any of you have Bantam Cochin's near your D's? During the summer I put our 3 millies out in a pen that was large enough for turkeys, then put my 3 hen & 1 rooster with the millie girls and they did not get along. I assumed it was that the girls might be older or something and they cohabitated on different sides of the yard.
Well today I partitioned off the "brooder" for the D's, and figured it would be the cockerels that disagree'd, but instead it was the 2 hens and Cochin roo. So apparently its not just the particular Cochin, but all Cochin roos.

Last summer I placed them together so they could be warmth through the winter and companionship- but it hadn't worked out. What do you think about this? We mix standard breeds together, why not the D's and B.Cochins?
