Red my Cochin has no start or stopping point to the feathers up her legs & all over her feet. Her little bloomers go all the way to her feet. If this is then hen in the picture, I would swear it was a bantam brama.

i have a banty buff brama exactly like this but different color

How's Sunday going for everyone? Good I'm hoping.
Well riding was a no no this morning The FOG was just too thick, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Was hoping it was clear by this afternoon but it's stubborn and has not budged!!

There's usually water here.  Just not for the last 4 years.  I am not in the high desert like Mutt is.  It's more like two seasons, wet winters, no snow, and dry summers so we don't get the humidity.  Apples and grapes grow well here.  I've always wanted to live near a lake. 

We get humidity off

I looked it up and it does look gorgeous.  To steal a phrase from Crocodile Dundee, now that's a lake! 

yes it is

when i went out  this am  to clean  the coop one of my older hens was dead..didn't know she was sick but she stopped laying a while back and she thought she was a rooster..crowed every morning.

So sorry!

BTW, if I need to wash a dirty egg, is it cold or warm water? I have a couple that are laying in the sand. 
Also, Pop's friend's hens have swollen eyes and clogged nostrils. Pops thinks Coryza? I have liquid Albon, any thoughts? 

I think Albon is the same as Dimethox. It is used in poltry, but I don't know what the dose is.

Morning y'all. Who else loves that hour??

 

[prostar]

Well. Did the morning feeding at the mother in law and then stopped by the grocery store.

First bonus. Half price Halloween candy.
Second bonus....FREE PUMPKINS!!! I will have some happy chickens.

Also got a cheapie tin foil esque roaster pan thingy so I can give one of my reds a little bum bath...she's a little icky down there.

You should just join in and tell us about your ducks!
Haha! I have 6 ducks. 3 adults consisting of 2 females and the drake. Then there are their offspring that are about 3 months old that are 2 boys and a girl. They are Welch Harlequins. They love mud and were in a temporary pen making huge muddy messes. We moved them into a 10'x10'x10' pen. Half of it has a fake turf carpet on it, then they have their kiddie pool and the rest we set in pavers. So now, thank heaven, no more mud. We added straw nests for them to sleep on and lay the eggs in, but they just drop the eggs on the carpet. At least they are also clean now. Before I had to use a kitchen scrubber to clean them.lol I've not taken any pix of them in the new pen yet, but here's one in the old muddy pen. We also have 3 geese-2 hens,1 gander; 5 hens of different breeds and a Frizzle bantam rooster, about 23 Cortinix quail plus our 13 Halloween peeps (so far)with hopes of many more as we set 40 eggs. We also have 18 rabbits, 2 desert tortoises,a parakeet named Bebop and 7 little dogs (2-8 lbs, 4 Yorkies and 3 Maltese). No human kids at home for many years now. So that's our little menagerie I'm a widow,however,I am now engaged to a great guy named Michael. We are both retired,sort of. I'm a professional artist so I still do that just not as often, and he's a retired chef & only cooks for me now We live in California where it's hot as h*** in the summer. We are hoping to move to central NC in a few years where we can have much more land to raise our animals. We love the outdoors, the mountains, fishing, hunting & camping So that's my story which was a lot more than you asked for.Lol How about you?
Haha! You are only 400 pages behind now? On this thread, that's about 2 days worth!

You must be in the central valley with the heat from Hades. My grandpa had desert tortoises when g'ma & g'pa lived in West Covina (LA metro area). They were huge, especially to a 6 yr old. What kind of art do you do? I might need to pick your brain on this, because my older son is headed in that direction, which is uncharted territory for us parental units. In addition to the hubby, I've got 2 teenage boys, a senior looking into art as a potential major (hence the questions), and my freshman who started at a technology high school this year. Also got 2 dogs (Belle & Scooter), 2 cats (Ming & Henry), a mini rex house bun (Chicory), a cockatiel (Rodney), a parakeet (Lupin), 11 bantams (10 Serama and one cochin), and 10 large fowl laying hens of assorted breeds, although "laying" is used loosely. Lot of freeloading going on right now. I had ducks as a kid, and am thinking about getting some runners, but not quite ready yet. You'll have to post pics of your new set up when you can.

Envious of your personal chef! Cooking is more a chore for me, so I'd gladly hand off kitchen duties to anyone willing!
