Nope, no more Light Sussex. I only kept the Coronations. They are hard to sex. I recently sold one. I thought it was a male, but others thought differently. Look at this....

Well poo. That doesn't help at all, because all of mine have pretty big combs and waddles. Like the speckled sussex--the girls seem to get gynourmo combs by 8 weeks---and then the comb stops growing forever.

OKalie dokalie- I sent you a PM with pics--since I didnt want to hijack the thread tooooooo badly. But I WILL share this picture of an angry Violet. She is my OEGB that brooded 10 regular chicks. I think the coronation sussex are alomst comparable size now.

I log off just long enough to screw up my website and you girls are having a throwdown!

It was gettin' rough, too. I had to take her to PM.

Now I gotta go see what mess you made on your website.

I just found a Frizkin (frizzled cochin/silkie) hen like that....she got herself into a pen of cockerels, twice! I sprayed her head with blukote & put her in with the Favs & she's healing, even has both eyes open now. Boys will do just that. I'm thinking of taking ALL the boys (except the buff bantam Faverolles & the old silkie, & maybe just one more) to freezer camp next week if I have my car back. (or have found a suitable replacement, like a small 4WD diesel truck, hint, hint).

I actually snuck over to this thread (sadly, no icelandics here yet) to see if there was a mention of the calendar... in scanning a few of the 14 pages, no icelandics came up. What could be better in next year's calendar?

Have a good weekend!

I entered pics of my Icelandics.

The red hair helps, too.

Well, it used to be red. Now it's just "rusty."
