I soooooo wish I was nearby and could some off your hands! They are so pretty!
By the way, did you tell my pet chicken to offer me blue egg layer chicks of $9 each? How else would they know? How?
As I said it’s fun to see how our devices spy on us...

There's been a bit of talk about Ad-Blockers. A few thoughts / comments:
Keeping a site like this running and safe is a very time and money consuming task. Think about all the expenses / costs of developers, contractors, designers, servers, etc. etc. etc.
Ads are the way we keep this site going.
period
While we respect people's freedom to do what they want, we request that people either disable the ad-blockers on BYC or purchase / win a PFM.
Using BYC with ad-blockers puts more and more burden on us, especially as we compete with Facebook and other sites that will sell your information.
Personally, I don't ever use ad blocker on any sites I visit. I think it's wrong to use a free service and not allow the owners to receive compensation for their work and expenses.
One thing that (again personally) disappoints me is when people that use ad-blockers then complain and ask for changes. I find it rather rude.
Ad-blockers complicate things even more because they are often the cause for breaking functionality on a website.
Thank you all for the compliments on my flock. I have put alot of resources into having very nice birds.
i also saw ads in the middle of posts. Its fixed now. I think ill like this once i am adjusted. Its lightening fast thats for sure! I purposely dont block the ads, knowing thats their income. I knew the membership would block them but cant spend any extra money on the birds and i. I will one day in the future though. Shad gave me my first taste when he won several in the article writing contest, it was too kind and i got spoiled! Took awhile to mentally block the ads again.
Someone mentioned buying memberships for friends, its allowed, you just have to put the person's name in the comments when you make the purchase
