I'm not sure who boss roo is? They all keep to themselves, so I guess they have it worked out. I think I'm down to 7 in the yard. Hoping to be down to 3 before long.

Camp...those things in the nest your found....horribly ugly but cute.
Your helper....beyond cute.
And the action shot of the boys = awesome!

as so like the Thai and such. If I vaguely remember (and I can be completely mixing things up) it has to do with something religious or possibly due to the region area of chicken breeds like the Ayams being worth more and also highly sought after for food.

Well they actually ask on the phone and won't come if the bird is white.

I am wore out. Nice pics ally and camp. I need to get some but its too much extra right now.
I asked Lisas DH about the holes in the chair and he told me caulk or I forgot the other . But, I forgot the bug spray . Hope I dont get stung. Looked at some mesh chairs today. Cheaper then new cushions . $20.00 compared to $30.00 per cushion and they wont hide bugs and look pretty simple to clean. Problem is, I wanted 6 . I have 6 now.

Quote: The hen and roo she came from are calico. I think she looks more mottled, which is just white feather tips (I think). Mollie sent me pics

My chick:

They are all adorable. I know my Serama hens like that got more white as they aged.

Pup is in so much trouble this morning. He is being a bad boy. He needs to burn some energy but it seems he cant do this outside. He is terrorizing both the other dogs then will run when I get on to him. I thought he had settled and he comes and rest his head on me like he is wore out then barks at me and off running again. He is watching tv . Kick boxing. commercial comes on and he is off again.

He is missing his boy and is bored.

Quote: I think he's young, and you know how young males are... things they do don;t always make sense!

The other bantam

I see cheeks on that one. I guess d'Uccle, maybe porcelain. I didn't see any cheeks on your EE, but that won't affect egg color. It's the pea comb that gives a greater chance of laying blue (but it's not linked). You have some darling little babies there!

Quote: I have never heard this before. Will ask my MIL if she's heard of it.

ee I like freaking people.

Is there a story to go with this random fact?

Story Time

When I was young I was a jumper, Loved to jump. Didnt really matter where I was. I felt like I was flying. I would start running and take a long jump about 7 ft. I guess. I dont know if thats good or not. LOL Probably not. We lived in Fl. and the houses were "short" I would climb the roof and sail off . over and over. Jumped off the hump back bridge. (scary) jumped off a bridge into a dry creek bed about 10-15ft. and oops. I started walking home I was crawling before I got there and by the time I got to the garage I was dragging myself by my arms. I didnt know if I could swim when I jumped the bridge, I never thought of an injury at any point in time. I ended up bed bound for a very long time with casts on both legs all the way up . I remember laying there all alone, needing to potty and no one coming to check on me. I remember when they finally did and they put me on a bed pan I peed their faces full. Went straight up. LOL
I wish sometimes I was still like that. That I could take that leap without even thinking of the outcome. But then we grow up and we are afraid we will break our leg so we dont take chances. Its a bit sad.

I tell you that story to tell you this one.
CB got mad at me because I took Robert to town with me and left him here. When I returned he kept running his mouth on me. I told him to go to his room. He just kept it up. Robert had heard enough I guess and he came out and yelled at CB Get to your room Now ! Dont you know how to talk nice ? CB made the mistake of answering him with a solid NO ! Then Robert called him an askhole. CB went to grab his computer and Robert said No computer for you. So CB threw a little fit and said he was going home. He called his dad to come get him and packed his things.
He was home less then 24 hrs. when playing zombies with his brothers he jumped out of a 2 story window shattering his foot and ankle. He has all kinds of stuff holding him together. rods, screws, bone cement.
Taking him to the swap was the first time I had seen him since he left here. 10 months I see and talk and feed him every day then nothing. Except for knowing he is hurt. I really miss him but I think this is for the best. A kid should be with their parents if they can.
I havent talked to my DD in a long time. She was reading me on here and got mad because I said sometimes they didnt have food and I thought that was why he ate so much here. She took offense at this. I am not sure why. We have all been there. One word led to another and well, thats how it goes. BUT That is why I really dont know how CB is doing. I could call, I wont .

This is were my depression has come from. I am fighting it very hard. I know I have been acting weird lately. Not having very good posts and mad at the world. I apologize for this. I will make it through, I just need more time.
Im not looking for solutions , advise or anything for that matter. I just wanted to let you know.
I had thought , I will never speak of any of them again on this thread but I have changed my mind. I started this thread because of my memory. I want my life here. I want to be able to come back in 10/20 yrs. and say , Oh ya, I remember that ! Maybe not that far away. LOL I have never had anything to hide and I shouldnt have to. Im not going to.
