Kelly I haven't straightened me OUT yet.

Quote: I flew to Texas to drive my parents up to Nebraska for a family reunion. They can't make that trip on their own now that they're in their eighties. It was great! We split the 12+ hour drive into two days and it was just the right of amount for them. I saw one brother in Texas and my other two siblings in Nebraska. Got to meet an eighteen month old nephew for the first time and visit with my Dad's 93 year old sister (his only living sibling of seven). My Mom is one of seven (third oldest) and her siblings are all still living and were there. I am thankful I got to do it for them, don't know how many more chances I'll have for that.

I got the camera ready with fresh batteries and will be going out in a bit to take some pictures!

Got some pictures!

Here is Gula with her two chicks.....just happened that her two were both blondes:



Puffed-up momma:



Hæla and her singleton (not the best pics of her but neither of them would be still with me pointing the camera at them):



Gola and her two. She had them in the coop so at least they couldn't scatter:

Lovely photos,Mary. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.

 

[drumstick diva]

Sounds like a nice trip - especially your chance to see the baby.

Thanks Mike and Diva!

Here are a couple of Isafold, the only pullet from the Easter Hatchalong Six. I really like her.




Here are some of the Lyle Behl chicks, there are two others. I know, I know, the white one is cockerel

Isafold reminds me of my little tractor driving trouble maker.

OH YES Mike's runaway who steals the tractor keys, so much easier than flying.

I'll try to get some new photos soon. Broody Icelandic's hatched out 3 chicks this year, some are still trying, but we've been good about breaking them. The barnies are a whole other story. They got us good real good.
