Perfect day for working outside here so am, spent 3 hours driving around picking up stuff but now got the afternoon forthe chicken house and pen ,
I'm gonna hang a sign on the chicken house saying" Shaky Jakes' Best breasts, thighs and legs ,on Icelandic Chickens !
Or something like that.
I'm with Laree, I have a number of chickens and youngsters that fit her discription, otoh, I am also wondering what all these little whites with a dark feather here and one there will look like. Earlier in the CH I was looking at each of my six under the light, picking them up and petting til they relaxed and checking their wings etc, the little white roo now has several black feathers on his neck, the black one has several light feathers in his cape also and long white primaries on the black wings, I think they are really seriously adding color, but the four chipmunks are all different, even though in muted browns, a couple look like gold capes or gold and red capes, while I was doing that Issison was up on a high roost giving me the eye. His turn is coming .
Mary you have really got me wondering about the emus, they just intrique me, how is the temperaments of the mature one supposed to be? I have only seen one mature male up close, he didnt have a companions and was just curious about people, I think he was a year or so old.
