LOVE LOVE LOVE the boots!

Nope I think I closed it out by accident. It was just rambling anyway. I am too tired for anything else. The boots were the high point anyway! Michael said "Those boots say you are serious about this." I got them big enough to wear socks during the winter too. The look dorky right now with capris but I'm wearing them anyway!

I was looking for the "like" button.

Cute and functional! A great combo in footwear.

Join the club...here we are wearing wooly socks, (prefer home made) and boots must be water proof (ala Dock Martins or Cabela's) , and prefer camo...and insulated, with shorts, camo shirts & hoodies, and all that for deer & elk season..let alone the salmon season....

Oh, and gaiters with shorts is the way~~~~~~~~

Camo in the boat~~~~~~~~

Oh yeah, forgot about the NASCAR hat.................

When we are out in the Bay & weather gets nasty we wear Grunden foul weather gear

Big rubber bib coveralls, and the foul weather hat.
It can get nasty out here in the Pacific, but worht it...

How's this for pathetic? My 2 1/2 year old buttercup in molt.

And Kathy - here's your babies at 22 weeks. Olive is the huge!

Wow! That poor girl needs a sweater.

Oh my.

Your big girl is beautiful. Can't wait to see the egg color.

And our BR's will probably start laying about the same time based on how they look now. I just love my big BR and NH. They go everywhere as a team and are quite intimidating in size compared to my other breeds. But they are sweet so far.

OMG that buttercup is the craziest thing ever!

Kelly, Your molting Buttercup pic makes me wonder......my Icelandics that I got from Mary all molted this summer, Audun is oldest (Mar '10) but started and is finishing after the two hens (May '10), right now he has no tail featherS, poor guy!. None got "neckid" looking. Their feathers were scruffy, both hens molted while raising chicks, tail feathers were lost, but no nakedness. What have the rest of you experienced with your Icelandics old enough to have gone through a molt?

 

[The Sheriff]

Mary, none of mine have had severe molts like is seen in other breeds. Isi is in his second molt now and loss of tail feathers is all I notice. I know many more of them are molting because the coop has a lot of feathers lying around. They just don't show it very much. That has been my experience so far with my Icelandics.

 

[kathyinmo]

Mine are molting right now. Nothing severe looking but feathers everywhere and they are slow moving. Well, the girls are anyway. Kola is the most obvious. Poor things. I moved them today, into a larger (covered) pen with the adolescents. When I picked them up I could feel pin feathers.
