My car wouldn't hold anymore. Those beautiful exhibition BOs are larger than life. I told my DH that if he could have seen the sheer impressive size of the rooster, he would have told me to tie him to the hood of the car!
I wound up with one 8 mo. old instead of two because the 13 month old broody touched my heart with her pretty face and eyes. I needed a broody hen to hatch the silkie Serama bantam's fertile eggs, so there you go! I named them Ruth and Naomi. When I go back for my Welsummer roo, naturally he will be called Boaz.
Any suggestions for a name for the Welsummer pullet? My only Brandy bird has grown to a flock of 6 with two more coming soon!
I know I will be dreaming of all the many pretty and unusual varieties of chickens I saw today. There is NOTHING like seeing birds of all ages and breeds in person; NOTHING!!!! And, Lord help me, now I also am in love with nonsense dogs. Gizmo forever has my heart. It doesn't stop there, either. You should all meet Puss! The guinias had me giggling, and this one silkie golden seabright mixed rooster nearly tempted me to STEAL!!!!
Fortunately, James told me he was kind of mean, but still....hmmmm....
Now if I could just figure out a fair trade to get James over here to build pens, coops, runs...you get the picture. Mississippi is looking better chicken wise to this crazy girl. And I thought the local feed and seed was a dangerous place for me to visit!
Forgive my rambling, but that's how giddiness affects me. If only I had an SUV or large van. I will definitely be praying for contentment and forgiveness for coveting tonight and possibly many nights to come. I enjoyed the day immensely and look forward to shopping and visiting there again ASAP. I won't even talk about the state of the art incubator....
Oh! And it SNOWED after I got home. That's rare here, too.
