No, he's just got one on that one side. My daughter says it's a nipple and her and my husband got into a lenthy discussion recently about "Clarence's Extra Nipple" So my husband called him NippleHead all day

These 4 have been handled constantly from day 1 and are super calm and friendly. I'm really hoping to be able to keep both boys together in the layers yard since they grew up together. There's 13 hens in there right now but I'm going to add more as soon as I find some Ameraucanas or EE's.

Thanks, PinkChick

I totally agree with Pink, they are awesome looking! Glad you are just using them for you and your enjoyment, the combs in this breed have become a major problem. Didn't mean to sound demeaning of your boy, but you'd have to understand what I've been through in the last year and a half to understand my remark.

yeah...it is nice to have different skill sets to help pay the bills. I'd eventually like to get to where I am able to live off of what I raise, grow, and make. Mostly right now...I'm just getting things organized and watching for land, and etc. I also do bookbinding...I love it...there is no end to the possibilities with it

I have to agree...that's pretty funny. Sounds like you have a start of a nice flock!

rofl! Sure go ahead. Clarence just doesn't want all of BYC to be making fun of his extra nipple though

OMG! You make jewelry too?? We are lost sisters!

I think the spur earrings would be neat. I have a pair of rattlesnake earrings, that I bought in AZ years ago. I only wear them when I'm trying to make a point......pppppppuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr stay away! Ok, that sound doesn't translate well when written, this sounds more like a cat!

haha I learn something new everyday....rattlesnake earrings purr like kitties! Who knew?

Don't even get me started on my hobbies...I only have about 50...in fact...I just got back in from shutting up animals for the night, but before that, and what I will be working on tonight while periodically lurking on the thread is making a coffee table. I'm really excited about it...I took apart one of those old cheap 70's console tables and kept the hardware and the two sides...stripped off the cheap vinyl fake wood decal crap and have some nice solid framwork. I am gonna be working on putting on old burlap coffee bags with the stencil graphics and then for the top I stole an old door from a collection in the hay mount that is from an old grange building when they tore it down 30 + years ago. That will become the top and I have those two metal pinkerton dairy crates I got this fall that will fit in there perfectly. I love industrial/upcyled/repurposed stuff. So, fun project for the night

You are so awesome!

I have a small tupperware container full of ivory earbones that I collected from Halibut when I was commercial fishing in the Gulf of Alaska...there are probably 150-175 pairs..I want to send them to you so that you can make earrings or other jewelry from them. Again...you are so awesome....

Hasn't anybody every told you - ? It's not the length of the tool. It's how well you use it.
