Ok this story is completley unrelated to chickens and dogs lol. Yesterday was my sisters birthday and her husband let her pick her own present, For his birthday he got $400 worth of cowboy boots. So she decided she was going to get an iphone 5, it cost a little more lol. So i went with her to get it. We spent an hour having someone set it up. Iphone 5's have siri. I have wanted to try siri for a while now. and she wass nice enough to let be the first one to use it one her new phone!!! I said serach for backyard chickens, brought up this website, then gas stations and it brought up ones near me. Of course i'm over there giggling, because I was thrilled I got to use siri. and i didnt realize I said it into the phone and I said I bet it isnt as cool as the epsisode on the big bang theory. It heard it and looked up the show! I went to breakfast with her this morning and asked if i could talk to siri again. She let me. I said hi, and siri said good morning. I carried on a conversation with it. Which i just find amazing that people made some elctronic capable of doing something like that. Then my sister told me what she said to it last night. She asked wether siriwas a boy or a girl (voice sound like a girl more than boy). Its response was I was not programed with a gender. Now I want an iphone 5!. Apparently siri comes on ipads, but I would use it way more on a phone. O and BTW if you didnt already realize this from my story, I am a geek. lol

Siri is also on the older Apple phones. They are cheaper. Unless you must have the latest.

Browncow-let me whip out my iPhone and look up Pickin Chickens....... It says ameraucana and Araucana!!! But art the Creambars supposed to do blue too?

Yes. Robin's egg blue. Crested Cream Legbar is the official name.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of crosses out there. You have to be careful where you get them or you might get taken and end up with mutts. Mutts may or may not lay blue eggs.

There are several people on this thread that offer them for sale. I ordered a dozen pullets and 3 unrelated rooster chicks from babymakes6. I am told she has quality birds. She is hatching them to order.

Rustoleum offers a wide range of colors of spray paint.

Ritt dye is another source of tints.

Non chicken related question, do any of you have pet rabbits?

Wife and I have been kicking around the idea of a pet rabbit, juct curious if anyone has experience with them? I like the look of the Holland lops or mini lops. I keep reading that , mini rabbits tend to be more high strung so I'm leaning towards the fullsize.

I would like to keep it in the house, but I think we might have to do a combination indoor/outdoor. I have some leftover wood for a hutch anyway.

Anyone have pro's and cons?

Our non feathered kids were wild tonight!

They are so cute! What do you do with their wool (or whatever you call it)?

We are probably going to sell it raw. Meaning straight off the alpaca, not washed.

M2H, It was a little green tomato that Oliver was after.

So much has been going on here! I was touched by the dog stories. Danand, how is your baby?

jchnny, so glad that your daughter wasn't hurt. Sounds like the driver of the truck that she hit is something of an idiot!

Brad, one has to wonder about the seller of the modern games who didn't notify you right away that they were no longer available.
