[Crazy Chicken Fever]

Below are some photos of my new chickens. I am looking for you all to give your opinion on their quality.

First we have my frizzle cochin roo and his beautiful black hen. Both are so sweet. I raised the hen from chick, she is really, really flashy and just started laying about a month ago. I have 2 other cochin hens and they cannot hold a candle to her.

Then there is this cochin roo and his hen. I did some research online and I believe he is a silver penciled *AM I RIGHT?* He is a very pretty rooster but very crabby, I really watch my eyeballs around him

Next up...my silkie pair. His hair is weird...any idea on color anyone????

They are good size and boy can he hold his own, he has a heck of a kung foo kick!

Last up is what I believe to be a berchin cochin roo. I have him paired up with a white cochin hen. She is young but should start laying anytime. Does anyone know what colors the chicks will be?

I have a few more to ad but could not get good photos of them tonight.

Below is a photo of my 3 and 4 year olds and my favorite standard bfrizzle cochin roo curly he is blue.

Oopsy's grandkids!

Great Opa...if you are not available...that is okay. Im down at the V.A at least once a month and you're on the way there, and back. I am going by BYC nick names...Polish and Staples to get some birds. Otherwise I'll be back in that same area in a month of so...so, no worries

Cant wait to see the Lakenvelders nor get another fine pair of Light Brahma LF from Polish.

Good Morning All!

Had a great day yesterday in Amish country and a trip to Mooville! HBR- we were right down the road from you again!

We got to see a 6 horse hitch plowing a field, a modern combine, combing corn and dumping it in the waiting truck, pheasants, great blue heron, deer, lots of horses, and pretty country

Oh and we got to go through Nashville.....MI!

Off to get the troops rolling. Enjoy your day

This is for school my daughter was having trouble with the crossword so I was up helping. I love the teachers but to give extra credit on chapter you are not doing is insane. I would think that if you give them the crossword on the chapter when you assign the chapter that would get the kids to read the chapter school has changed so much since I was in.

Wyliefarms- You could have stopped in and said hello or brought me an ice cream

Wow, that's a tough one. Best I could come up with was: 18 of the Renaissance's most notable artists: Arcimboldo, Bosch, Botticelli, Bramante, Bruegel, Brunelleschi, Correggio, Donatello, Durer, Fouquet, Giorgione, Grunewald, Holbein, Leonardo, Mantegna, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian. I don't think any of those fit the spaces.
