That's my riding horse... I much prefer to be on top than being pulled behind!

The scenery is better from on top. right?

Mine are not laying yet either. I am trying to appease myself with hatching eggs from others while I impatiently wait.......

Sorry Jan, I have so much to do to get ready to go to the poultry show today that I didn't do my regular morning online stuff. I am not showing but excited about going. I plan tp cruise the sales table today & do the total tour of the show tomorrow. I have never been to a poultry show..............I have a few minutes now so I can play for awhile. My daughter is sending me with her digital camera that she says is really simple to use & takes really good pictures. A photogapher I am not, but I am going to give it a try. We will see how they turn out.

Mel, why don't you have a rooster? You live in the country don't you? I know city ordinances forbid roosters around here so some folks need pullets only. It thought almost everyone ends up with more cockerels than they need & it would be easy to come by a spare rooster.

I have one white-crested black polish rooster that I think comes from San Francisco genes. That's to say I have never seen him mount a hen.

I was wondering about crossing a Blue Jersey Giant Rooster with Blue Copper or just Blue Marans....Somebody had a pic of an absolutely stunning Blue Jersey Giant Rooster posted on here a couple days ago. (and I think they sell hatching eggs!)
