OK new photos

Big Blu next to one of the Ia blue pullets:

Crowing:

The "Other" roo:

The "tiny" pullet (she is very tiny and gets picked on)

pullet number two - almost no silver on her

pullet number three - a little more silver

Gargg it didn't upload the 4th pullet - OK this will tide you all over for a few minutes

Muhahah more pictures ( I hope no one has dial up - if so I am sorry)

the 4th and best pullet and no she is not normally squished down like that

Tucker watching me out the window. We put this wide ledge on the window when we installed it to put plants on. Ummm the dogs love it more.

The puppies sleeping the first one leaves on Thursday. As much fun as they are I will be glad to see them go. I mop to much now!

Big Blu has a lot of penciling on his breast too! I think that will help improve the hens.

Here's another one of everyone enjoying a February day in the sun. They love to be let out in the hay field

From left to right, my paints Kestrel and Fox, then Percheron mare, Raven and her 1/2 Freisian daughter Aria on the far right.

They are just beautiful and look like they are really enjoying themselves! I definitely need to come visit...

So anywho just went down to visit my dad. His legs are swollen beyond belief and they don't know what is causing it. There are no blood clots (first thing they checked for)

I popped my head in his room and he woke up said "Oh good you're here to take over for me!" then went back to sleep. He still has his sense of humor anyway

I think I need to bring a puppy or Tucker down to visit him. Tucker is becoming very calm, patient, thoughtful and centered. I actually think as long as there are no chickens nearby he could be a good therapy dog.

They said he could have a dog visitor - my mom was thinking about bringing their dog up but has changed her mind so she asked about it.

Blu looks like a big handsome fella and the horse on it's hind legs Kari... Thats a great pic!

I've been getting pics of FL downloaded from memory cards today. Gives me a headache.

Thanks! Aria's a big show off. She has always been very athletic and "light on her front end" so this was easy to teach her to do on command.

Last night, Jerrit was giving all the other hens water, and one wandered into the Iowa blue pen...Mr. Iowa blue mated a Buff Brahma hen...

Wonder if her eggs would be fertile? LOL I wouldn't know what hen it was now though anyway.
