grannys gone and done it

I went out and checked. Then I got sidetracked doing stuff out there. LOL Elvis does have a slate colored legs but this chick has lighter colored legs. I don't know what a lavender chicken looks like but I have a guinea that I think is lavender colored and I think that little bird has lavender colored legs. I think this one and the one that is missing are the ones that I though had white legs, and I do mean white. As they got a little older I guess their legs could have darkened a bit but the legs on this bird and it's daddy are not the same color, or rather not the same shade.

In that picture their legs look darker than this one's legs look now. I would take a picture but my batteries died in my camera and I don't have any more right now and I think one of the kids took off with my battery charger. I can't find it anywhere.

Here is a picture of Prince. He follows me around like a puppy, only not as fast. LOL And yes, my shoe is on the wrong foot, one of the dogs ran off with my left shoe and rather than get out another pair, I just grabbed the closest one and wore it for about a week before my shoe showed up again. Thing is, they didn't chew it apart. I don't know what they did with it, we looked everywhere and ran the broom under things we couldn't see under. It just showed up one day.

Here are some not so good pictures of Camo. My husband named him that because his head reminded him of camouflage paint.

If the first picture and the last picture don't show up, double click on them. They are not showing up for me unless I double click them.

This first picture is Sam. The 2nd picture is of a little Silkie that has turned out to be a male also. I think. LOL See any similarities?

 

[Sylviaanne]

You said share some pictures, I hope you aren't overloaded yet. Here are some random pictures.






This is my Crested Polish cockerel.

This is my rooster, Elvis.
This is my other rooster, I just call him Welsummer. BTW, none of the top pictures are of the same bird, they are all different birds.

Such pretty birds you have, Sylviaanne!

I finally got pics of a couple of the now grown Serama chicks. Cockerels, of course, which we are trying to sell. Gotta keep the peace with the neighbors!


This is the second chick from left, below. This is the second chick from the right.

Beautiful babies, beautiful adults. I really like the one on the left but I didn't want small birds. Small birds = small eggs. I bought 6 dozen eggs from Houndit and he has mostly bantam sizes and what LF he does have are slowing down egg production. I got big eggs from about 3 breeds and most of the eggs were guineas. He sold me some that I sure didn't want because I thought I might fall in love with them. LOL Now, it's out of my hands. I got some of them and I just know that when I see the babies, that will be the end of the story. I still have 4 Cochin babies and I think they are going to be normal sized, at least when I bought them they were the same size as the other babies and he did have some teeny little things, I don't remember what they were.

I got an egg from some Black tailed Japanese bantams. Bantam Cochins of different colors. I don't remember what all else. He put initials and dates on the eggs but I left the paper with the translation of the initials on my computer and I think my husband knocked it off and probably threw it away. I will have to contact Houndit and see if he will send me another copy of his initials.

Oh, I forgot to say Thank You. LOL I like the looks of most of them myself but there are others that are kind of plain janes. The kind that look like a LOT of chickens. I didn't know what to expect when Elvis bred to the hens. His mate disappeared so at that time I really thought I wanted Crested Polish birds and as time has gone on, but not before I got a 2nd pair, I discovered I would prefer Cochins. I wanted Cochins because they are big and come in a lot of different colors. Then I found out that Brahmas come in more than black/white and grey/white. And then I found out that Jersey Giants are in more colors than black or white. LOL Why couldn't I find all that out at one time?

I'll end up with some Brahmas and will probably get some Jersey Giants when I can find some colors that I like.
