Quote: Oops, meant to say your name. Thank you for the info. I have needed this kind of information to answer my question, ahah.

My dilemma is wanting to be a photographer but being a seriously lazy and not wanting to do the research. It hurts my brain!!

I cant buy anything, now, but if my parents were to let me get a new camera for my birthday, I would want to pick it out. So what I'm wondering is what a good one would be. I was looking at Sonies a little while ago, too!!

I really loved this one camera, a Sony Nex F-3 with a lense attachment that came with it... Still want that camera but I would have to find it somewhere, I saw it a year and a half ago.

Toughen up you flowers... what are you, a bunch of pansies???....

...

Nice pictures too!

I don't know anything about Silkies and was wondering by broody if you meant already raising chicks or if they would just take anything at any given time. I just had 4 turkeys all hatch out babies. I mixed and matched some of them because of how they hatched from under each one. They seem like they would take about anything and raise it up according to how they acted to new babies they didn't hatch. That is funny Silkies raising up your peafowl...

.

Well, I did give some of my hens, that already had chicks, new chicks to add to the family. lol That worked out just fine. With this bunch of chicks I have out there...they have 4 mothers.

It all started out with just two hens that went broody. They sat for about a week and the third hen decided she wanted to go broody as well and kicked the first hen off the nest. Another week went by and the first hen went back on the nest...so I had three broody. Ugh. lol At about three weeks, I had chicks that hatched in the incubator so I was able to give the chicks to those three hens. My white hen always tries to hog all the chicks....or eggs, whatever they have at that time. She wants everything all to herself! LOL So, once I put those chicks out there, the fourth hen pretty much instantly went broody and joined the broody hen pile. lol And because the last two hens went broody later than the others, when the other hens started taking the chicks outside, the last two were still sitting on their imaginary nest. So when I went and bought 6 Orpington chicks, I gave them to the hens on the nest. LOL It sounds awfully complicated...but it all worked out perfect! They have enough babies so none of the hens feel like they need to steal children from others. lol The best thing about it is that all the chicks have moms teaching them...and I don't have to clean brooders.

Silkies are awesome!

Hey guys! Didn't know there was a photography thread until today! I've always been interested in photography and was messing around with the camera the other day and got some decent pictures. Thought I would share it with my fellow chicken folk!


Love my welsummers!

Quote: Sugar is a mutt, lol. Her mother was a Mustang, her father a Paint. We got her at 9 months old. She was kept in a pasture with older horses at her first home, and was a bit bullied, being the odd one out, so it took her a while to get used to having a friend who wouldn't bite her. We had a very old Tennessee Walker then, named Cherokee, since passed, but she was gentle and became like an old aunt to Sugar, while nonviolently teaching her how to be a horse.
She does have her quirks. When we fill up the watering trough and leave it she usually grabs the hose in her lips so she can spray herself. She's a bit destructive to new things in the pasture, however. We left the truck by the pond one day (bad idea), she scraped her teeth across the hood and attempted to chew on the mirrors--like a dog. Similar to what our bull did. We left the ATV by the pond without parking brakes, and he pushed it right into the pond. Crazy animals

Oh, that's hilarious. lol She sounds like a character.

So does the bull. lol

Got my new lens. Wasn't feeling all that great this evening, so really didn't take many shots. Henry was a goof ball, so I did get a couple of funnies.

It is very quiet when it manually focuses. It will be really good for videos and general photos. Much better than the lens that came with it. However, I will have a hard time getting used to not being able to zoom in from 50 feet away and get a close up

At least I can take chick photos without standing back 10 feet lol
