Well, mostly all the thingies in my hair set off the gates, lol. I'm not sure I look incredibly threatening... I do my best, though.

vj- I think you were the one who wanted to see a pic of a bantam chicken next to a standard. This one was taken a few weeks ago. All the chickens are a year old and the little orange/white roo in the middle was our Gomer. I had a porcelain d'uccle roo that was the same size as him, but we last him earlier this year. My only bantam left is a sebright hen and she is slightly smaller than what Gomer was.

Thanks! So I took Waffles and all the week old chicks out of the brooder and let the silkies get warm, eat and drink. Then I added Waffles back and she too in the babies. She was trying to get them under her! Talk about a forceful mama. Then I added the week olds one at a time every 5 min or so and everyone is getting along now. Hopefully it stays that way.

I like your dreads Juise. You're pretty too.


Ok so who knows what color my grey silkies are? Are they blue, splash, ?

Okay.. these are the best I can do... Not very good pictures, like I said. And these are both of my very least favourite set of dreads, too. (I've had three.) Still not sure I really want to post them, but... ah, well. >.< These are 4 / 5 years ago.

Okay, that is pretty spooky. You look a lot like my second wife. Except she didn't have cheek dimples.
I mean that as a compliment. She was a beautiful lady and so are you.

dreads are cool....would love tohave them too but, never a good look on an older chick..... so is a MO. ... also never a good look on an older chick... my DH has a tattoo on the side of his head and was always scrutinized when he flew, esp if he was freshly shaved.

Not necessarily so. On a trip back from the islands, there was a grey haired lady with dreads who was smoking! Then at a charity event where we were shaving heads, one 40 plus Mom sold her hair. Her teen-age sons shaved her in a Mohawk and it was pretty darn attractive.

Look blue to me.

Seems to me like if Raz had all naked neck Uggos when he goes to court they would have a hard time proving that he is raising chickens.

I wanted to share a few smiles!!

So.

After Eeyore left here the other day, the small human asked if she could put the goose eggs that the one goose had been setting in the incubator.

So... who wants some American Buff Goslings?

Hello BYC Michigan Peeps,

& welcome

My mother hurt her back today

I hope she will soon be feeling better.

When I returned his parents had come to pick him up and he was busy telling them how he had helped me wrap eggs to send to a man in Opahoma.

What did I do?!!!

Someone needs to take my money away from me. I went to find two silkies and they mysteriously doubled into four. What are they grey-ish ones? I know I have a partridge and a black but I don't know what the grey ones will be. I tried giving them to Waffles and I think she was overwhelmed. She's not having 8 babies she said.

Who can blame her really?

They look Blue to me....look like nice chicks!!

 

[RIRJen]

Well...now that I'm all caught up reading you the bazillion posts you all made today while I was playing outside I think it's time to hit the hay. We are heading to the show tomorrow morning!

I'm really excited to see how my birds do! I've got my digital camera loaded up and ready to go so I'll take lots of pictures to share.
On a rabbit-related note, my Belgian who went to live in Japan has settled in and I received a photo from Masako (who is pictured here with the hare) who came to Eaton Rapids to pick him up from me last week. He's going to be a super spoiled rabbit over there as he is probably the only hare in Japan

Random info, i found this handy chart while doing some research:
http://www.xtremegamebirds.com/Dosage Chart.html
It is a dosing chart for chicken meds! I have a notebook where i keep the info i find, never know when you may need it. So nice to find a whole chart!

Fuzzy! This is like finding GOLD. I am going to print out a copy and keep it on hand - thank you! If you are new to chickens this might be good to have in case one gets injured or sick.

Jen, that is wonderful! And how exciting!!
