Wow! Your body must've needed it, glad you got to sleep in. I can seriously see a nap in my near future!

haha a nap sounds like a wonderful idea! I think you stayed up later than me. I finally crashed, I'll get an email back to you today.
Got any pics of the little blue boy you mentioned? I just looked at the weather and its gonna be windy again...40 to 50 mph...I'm still gonna see what I can try to get for photos, but not sure how well it will go

Oh my, refresh my memory. The little Blue boy, as in chicklet??

I'll try to get some pics of him later. It's a 45mph day here too! Everyone has a squirrel tail today!

OH YAY! how was it being away while the others hatched? Did you have a good birthday? Can you tell what colors they little fuzzies are yet? I can't wait to see them!

Just wanted to take a moment here and say that I have never heard anything negative at all about Brenda Little and her birds. I think she has done a great job and her birds are lovely!
Bethel Farms also has some very very nice birds and stock and also doing a great job with the birds.....I would love to have some Blue Coppers from her someday!

Looked at both websites- very nice looking birds! DD and I think it would be great to go and tour Bethel Farms, it would be a cool experience!

no kidding..its annoying to see them standing so perfectly, then a gust of wind comes plowing through right when I get a shot and when I look at it...they end up looking like crap! I'm still gonna try..getting a slow start to the day at the moment....yarg!

I was talking about that little blue boy indeed!

Sounds great! We have 2 chicks out and 4 more working on it!

with all this talk of people going to visit breeder's farms, I'm getting all envious...There's no one around here that's noteworthy. Most of the birds I've gotten were from hatching eggs I shipped from several places. Ya do what ya gotta do I supposed to get a start, but that would be awesome to go visit with people that have been doing this farm longer than I have!

I will try to herd them into the coop later and get some pics. These are the "flyingest" chicks I've ever had!

They never walk, they always run/fly where ever they go! Quite comical!!

Oops, I got my leg band colors confused

the one pullet with the copper hackles is in the black copper line; the pullet from the blue copper line is solid black.
