Morning Friends!

What's shakin'? Beauty day here....ohhhh my I can't wait to crawl up on someone's roof and start tearing it off today.

I love roofing but I hate tearing them off...worst part of the job IMO....that and carrying a bundle of shingles up the ladder.

Thanks for the nicey nice words on the splash boy, I have had a feeling about him since I first saw his hackles coming in, something is just off.
I would test him to a solid blue or black, but I DON'T have one. All my birds are coppers, I only have a couple birds that do not show copper that I could try out. Will that mess things up considerably? Would I not be able to notice if he tosses Birchen if crossed with a Blue that does not show any copper?

Here's one of Fugs about 6 months or so old. Poor dude was shrink wrapped as a chick, so was deformed.

Here he is as a chick, 25 days old. Odd from the get-go!

Well...thankfully I'm not hauling it up the ladder today.....I was just making note that carrying it up the ladder is as bad as doing the tear off, not one of my favorite jobs, but since DH bought a ladder loader to send the roofing up on...I love sending bundles of shingles up now. Just imagine Kimmee standing at the bottom of the loader working the controls.....who knew I could get way ahead of the guys up on the roof and they would have to ask me to wait a minute for the them to catch up.

*sings that song* ----Up on the roof...oh yah-----

If I get a chance today, I will try to get some profile pics of him. He is just now starting to get some saddle color coming in, with a ways to go. Nice shank/toe feathers too. No, he's not one of Pink's birds, fyi

Supposed to be from the Davis line.
