Lookie!
Look what I won at the BYC auction!

I have been following Terry's expertise for some time now. We bred collies for 15 yrs. (1995-2009). Purpose-bred working dogs. This idea of training chickens in order to to learn to train dogs compassionately is exceptional. I had so wanted to go to one of the training camps. But I am in PA and she is in WA State. That's a long way to go, smile. I think EO's will be perfect for this program! I can't wait till my chicks get old enough so I can try it on them! What a blast!

That's great Karen, I cannot wait to hear about how it works! The EOs would be perfect to try on as they smart.

Great to hear it'll be so soon Sykline, trust me everyone, they will be worth the wait!

In the meantime, I thought I'd post a few pics of my fifteen 2-3 weeks old Euskal Oiloas, just to get everyone going crazy! We just did one hatch as it is getting too late for hatching up here and I wrote this little article about the chicks, with basic colouring, sexing and temperament and so on,

The first week,
13 from the male line

2 from the female line, they just sit on your hand and look at you even when broody raised

Then last week at 2 weeks I took...sorry they are a little fuzzy and with the sun shining on these light chicks the reflection is crazy, camera no like
Male line

Male line typical nosy stance

Female line, same 2 that were on my hand, think the big one's a male, he's the boldest and friendliest of the two
