Funny thing about that green paint. I painted a roost with it and it hurts my eyes. Not sure I can do it even if its free. I ran out of white for the outside and had to buy more, so I'm hoping there is enough in there to do the inside too, but either way its so close to done. I just need to find a good source of construction grade sand and get the rest of the frame up for the run.
Those questions are so funny and I'm pretty sure I would have asked the same things before my first chicken book! It happens with my dog a lot too. We have a brindle Bullmastiff and people ask me all the time if she is a Pit Bull. My dog has about 70 lbs on a standard Pit Bull, but I guess if you aren't familiar with breeds, it would seem the same. Thankfully not nearly the prey drive so my chickens are just fun to run around with rather than dinner. Even though I know she's a good girl, I still don't trust her out there with them unsupervised with them, or even alone with kids for more than a minute or two.
Those are some gorgeous babies you have there!Brad was hatching chicks for me in the hopes of getting a few lavender. Unfortunately only one turned out to be a lavender, but the others were so pretty I had to get one of each color! My 4 new babies came home Wednesday & I love them!
lavender orpington
chick from lavender orpington roo over speckled Sussex hen
chick from lavender orp roo over lavender orp hen
chick from buff orp roo over lemon cuckoo hen
Hope I got all the roo/hen cross/colors right Brad! Can't wait to see how they all turn out -- and hopefully they're not all roos! He also finished hatching quail for my daughter & I took home another 19 chicks for her. Thanks for the hatches!!
