I am evidently still having problems uploding pics here on the new forum!!! The heads in the first 2 pics aren't cut off in my pics on the puter, WTH?? Why are they still so small too??

Your pictures posted as clickable links. I've never seen that on this new BYC forum before!!! They show the large picture if you click on them.

Ok, here are my youngest chicklets, at least some of them! Gees, I swear, trying to get pics of these guys is like trying to photograph leaves in a tornado!

They are either in constant motion, or literally standing on my feet! They are just 16 weeks old today, and seem somewhat smaller than what I am used to looking at, at this age? Vicki girl, these are for you!

This is "Jagger" ~ I'm watching him for a sprig, grrrrr.



This is "Dopey" ~ she is looking good so far!



The boy in the back is "Pekker" ~ his comb is looking ok, but I believe he will carry one gene, so will watch him!



"Pekker" again. I love his dark copper coloring! And, he's on my feet again!



Ok, something is way wrong with these pics! If you click on them they get bigger, and yes, their heads are there! I posted another reply after this one, and it disappeared??? What's going on? Or is it just me?

Awww...they are lookin good! I bet that darker boy's gonna a big one when he's all done growing! I like that little girl too! She looks like a couple of mine around here!

Barb,

I don't seem to have any size adjustments with my pics, they are this size or nothing. Am I missing something here?? Everyone else seems to be able to load large pics. These also took twice as long to upload!

Vicki,

The lighter blue male is actually bigger than the other one. Dopey girl was standing funny in both shots, she doesn't normally hold her tail like that at all! They are really a curious bunch, much more so than any I've had before. I have to shuffle my feet so I don't step on them in the run! And they talk the whole time, sound like little geese. The other brother, "Soup", is still black only, or else a very, very dark blue, but he;s the one with the carnation, hence the name.. "Blue Belle" the other little pullet has those two bent backwards, outside toes, and she is the shy one. Did the vitamin thing with her in hopes the toes would straighten out to no avail. Will test mate her to see if she passes them on. Hope not, she has some nice lacing and is otherwise very pretty.

Uploaded to an album, then copy and pasted to the thread post. Used 2 seperate windows.

haha...sounds like what its like around here everyday. All my birds talk non stop...even when I'm in the house they will chatter at me when they see me pass a window or etc. I also have to be careful where I walk...silly birds!

It doesn't give me any options, just one size of pic. On the old format you could resize them with the drop down menu, that is not here now, at least in my uploads??
