@Mutt Farm ...great pics!

Thanks Mare. I think i'm a bit off that I'll sit and study each one. They're so tame, some not friendly. I can study each feather and pattern and and wonder how on earth it happens. Just like the eggs. I'm fascinated. NO hatching for me!

Yes! Lovely dark mahogany. The breeder these came from has been making these gorgeous heritage birds for over 20 years. I'm so lucky!!

So will you breed them to the pure RIR roo?

 

[Peep-Chicken]

Thanks Peep. She has lil feathers on her feet. It's funny, the Splash, White and Lavender all hang out together. Not all from the same shipment. Odd.

That is odd. My brown chickens free-range more while the whites and blacks hang together by the coop. Except Raven, she hates all of the other chickens. Lavender

Thanks Peep! That should have been my WHOLE setup before I went plum nuts! 

Welcome!

We stopped for supper, so here we are loading back up! My two kiddos, three RIR pullets (will be 1 year old in January) one elderly (4-5 years?) amerecauna hen, and seven 3-mo babies, RIR and RIR/amerecauna pullets and one RIR cockerel. One GIANT hanging feeder, several big waterers, half a bag of chick feed, and homegrown satsumas and lemons.

What a haul!

Not immediately. They'll go with the sussex roo first. She mentioned a roo that was mean, and with the kids (mine and otherwise) that's just something I won't have.

Dropped DS off at the FFA "Halloween party" (postponed due to weather last week), he surprised me wanting to go as he is not one to go to anything like thatso was more than happy to play chauffeur. One of the families does it every year. ....bbq, bonfire, hayride and haunted trail......it's just enough of a drive that it really doesn't make sense to go home and drove all the way back again so trying to kill two hours in town. So far I've been to lowes to rent a carpet cleaner and now think I'll hit tsc, talk about a girl who knows how to do Friday night, lol.
DH is off to DDs for the weekend. .....they're going to a football game tomorrow, it's homecoming week up there, not sure the old man knows what he's in for.....really means a lot that he went and they are getting time together, even more that it was his idea. I honestly don't know that they have had this much daddy/daughter time to themselves since I was in the hospital having DS. Hope they get through the weekend on a good note.

thats great mare..i loved my special time with my dad .memories

I candled the eggs tonight and I could see vaining in about all of them except three unsure. They were darker colored eggs though. And not the greatest light neither. Omg this is exciting. Camping congratulations on your nice haul. Lucky rascal gets heritage rir. I'll probably never see heritage rir in person.

Do I hear freezer camp calling?

Here's the integration pen I made for the new RIR's. I had the chain link panels, I use them to divide doggy yards for the smalls sometimes. The log house was $50 on CL back when I THOUGHT I'd only have a few chicks!

i love the log cabin.think i saw an ee just like one of mine..beautiful hens

 

[rIrs roost]

Just my luck. When I get a couple minutes to get on, everyone's off lol. Oh well talk to y'all around ten if y'all are on.
