oh! i took my mom on the v-city ghost tours on new years day, then we stayed the night at the haunted silver queen motel. a+ fun!

OH I wanted to take my husband there so bad.

We used to go to V City and Carson City a lot when I was younger. Funny how so few people know about the Silver Queen. I love it there.

Which one has the Bucket of Blood?? That's Virginia City right. If I remember it's right across the street from the Silver Queen.

I always loved Strawberry to.. I just love all those old towns.

Me too! Strawberry has the best snow hill for the little ones and there is a pretty good toboggan run for the bigger folks right across from the tavern! I love it there. Played a lot of pool there when I was younger.

Yes the Bucket of Blood Saloon is in Virginia City. They have a great view of the valley from their back window. We stop there often.

Hey I found this great website that shows what to look for when candeling eggs!

Some pictures taken today:

Chicks from Sunny’s Ameraucana roosters:

The 3 on the right are pullets – almost 100% sure – then a close up of the last in line pullet

Some of the flock

 

[SunnyDawn]

Awww, those sure are some nice lookin' chickens!

I noticed today the black birds are in the missing muff/beard stage - sure makes them look strange

Fingers Malone is the only one with "light" legs (willowish), the others have good slate legs. Fingers is also the "heaviest", the rest are very firmly stamped Ameraucana bodies.

Yes mine are in that awkward teenage phase too. They look weird but not as bad as last week.

Candled all the eggs today, I had 1 quitter and 5 non-starters so that leaves me with 49 eggs left.

I'm feeling pretty good about only 1 quitter so far. Course it's only day 7.

I would start to panic with that many "good to go" eggs - all those chicks

 

[NevadaRon]

Wow Sunny you're going to have a population explosion soon!

Genny I love your flock - so colorful!

I have a friend who would like to get four laying hens - time frame she is looking at is about a month. Do either of you (or anyone else

) have any?

Thanks NVRon

Does your friend want them to be actively laying or young close to POL or "chicks" who can be out in the coop on their own?


I can probably do a mix of POL and close/young chicks.


I have this girly girl, she will be 10 weeks on Friday - picture taken yesterday (the blue

)

And then this girl - picture taken Jan. 18th - she is an end of October/beginning of Nov hatch
