lol I just happened to have my camera at the right time. The eagles were great. There were at least a dozen fishing and I took a lot of shots. But it seems when you want to get a picture of something.. you can't always find it. I used to always have my camera... but since I end up replacing one each year... I stopped doing that. I can't afford it. I don't get enough business to pay for it. SO I only use it for work and if I am planning on taking pictures.

My latest experiment with combining breeds has worked! The babies are officially hens/roosters, so I can see what they will look like...

I put a Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster and a Sumatra hen inside the breeding pen. I got 6 eggs, all what looked like fertile. 1 didn't hatch, and another one died an hour after it hatched :( The surviving four were 1 hen and 3 roosters. I sold 2 roosters to people I knew would give them good homes (now we have 10 roosters in our flock. We don't need more.) The hen is a beautiful long fan-tailed, silver laced hen. I named her Calyn (pronounced Cay-leen). The rooster has the same feather pattern, but white hackles that stand up at the slightest noise. His tail is a whopping 3 feet long (NO JOKE!). I named him Badger.
My next experiment was putting a White Polish rooster and Blue Laced Red Wyandotte hen in another breeding pen. I got 5 eggs, 3 didn't look fertile :( Just one hatched. The survivor is a hen :) She is the most beautiful hen I have ever seen. She has a big, floppy snow-white crest, and is sleek and tightly-feathered. Her feathers are blue laced red, and her eyes are deep, dark brown. I named her May.

Any ideas, Chicken Peeps, what other breed-combining experiments I should conduct?
F.Y.I., it was technically my mom selling and breeding the birds :)
