Ok folks, after this may not be on much today. Grandma has been up a hour and I have a worrying feeling. She has complained that her shoulder is hurting her. She is blaming it on that she slept on her side and it is a crick in her neck. No, she slept flat on her back last night. Her O2 stat was also down a little bit this morning. She is in the middle of a breathing treatment. She also was not able to eat her breakfast, 2 bites and she got sick. I want to believe this is nothing. I hope I am right, but, something just feels off.

Omg. I'm sorry Rebecca.
I meant too call out to you earlier i'm also really sorry I got led away

I think I looked at this before - it is only a 12 hour drive. I am always game for an adventure, but 12 hours back with a bunch of Guinea Fowl noisily criticizing my driving may be a bit much!

Ah, backseat drivers - just turn the radio up and ignore them.

My dad said his first few cars (couldn't afford good ones) When it wasn't something he could fix - and there was a 'new noise' he just turned the radio up so the 'new sound' didn't bother him.

So what is Babs? She has blue fluff (and a face full of cabbage).

Um, you won't like my answer - but she is a blue laced mongrel....a very attractive, smart, and food driven one, though. I just love the personalities of my DC - very independent - and her being a cross of that and an EE (sister to Eli, not just hatchmate - though might be half sister - not sure if same DC mom or not) Dad EE has a lot of red and Grey. Eli got the EE fluffy beard/muffs and the mom flecks of gold, Babs got the dad's grey gene, but mom's color pattern.

Oh yes. I know her heritage. But as I learn about colors her underneath is blue. Right?

Would this be like a Palomino? One needs a chestnut horse and a Cremello which acts as the diluting gene on the Cheatnut to give that yellow body with white mane and tail Palomino.

But if you breed two palomino your have a 25% chance of a chestnut and a 25% chance of a Cremello.

If you bred two greys would one get a lavender and a black ?????

Splash, not lavender, but yes. Exactly

Unfortunately it is a lot further than PA!

Meet in the middle....

Interesting, I am still super surprised by Little Grey though, so I guess Mr P must have a black gene in there, or is it the splash in him.

Very confusing!

The splash in him with her mother either being blue or black.
