I might be sticking my foot in my mouth later......................BUT...........................

..............................I am 99.8% sure the pictured chick is a cockerel.


I am not judging only by wattle growth, but by comb color and growth.


Aubs, you picked up chicks from me - 7/5 so he was hatched a couple days before.

No on bringing Tui

She is much too large to cram into my car. Plus her job is to protect the property from coyotes and she cannot do that if she is not here.

Yeah Sunny it's a gorgeous drive to Woodfords that way (395/88). I highly recommend it! It takes you through the heart of Carson Valley then up the West Fork Carson River canyon. If you do it you should continue on past Woodfords to Hope Valley, and if you're feeling really adventurous turn left on Blue Lakes Rd. The scenery in Hope Valley is spectacular, especially in the fall when the aspens are changing colors (and there are lots of them up there!).

Well it looks like the jury is split on my bcm chick. Guess I'll have to hold out on a name!


Genny, I've got to get pics of those chicks you gave me. Their feet are SOOOOO fluffy! I was not expecting this much foot feathering. I love it!

I will say that Genny has almost always been right when guessing my chick's genders! Here's hoping for a boy after all (still looks like a girl to me but I'm always seeing pullet).

Oh yea, I forgot, she's a working dog. She is huge but she is the most mellow thing. I'm laughing out loud at the thought of you trying to cram her into your car!

Thanks for the info Ron. Sounds like an awesome fall drive!

There's lots of ambi names like that while you're on the wait-and-see.

You wouldn't even believe it but that's all I've been thinking about. Did you know they made a pat movie? It was terrible

I give blood regularly. In the Las Vegas valley we have a real shortage because the second biggest industry here is retirement and with that comes all sorts of medical problems with the elder set which has really taxed the supply here. Only about 1% of the population donates...hard to believe with a 2M+ population they're having to import!

I'm an O-neg (universal type) and lacking a certain antigen.....guess I skipped getting that bug as a kid. On top of that, I've not been pregnant and so my blood can be used for both sexes. (There's your science factoid for the day: If you've given birth, female donated blood put into men causes all sorts of complications). It's kinda nice to think that my blood is used on newborns, cancer folks and burn victims...or whoever else may need it. Of course, the flip side is that if I ever need a blood product, I may be up the creek. I can set my clock by how regularly the call comes in at donor date. Nice, too, that they give all sorts of goodies -- food, theater tickets -- for donating. I joke that if they ever get a mani/pedi coupon, they'd have folks lined up out the door.

I haven't done platelets. The *vampires* have never suggested it.... although they sure would like me to give a double! I decline as that leaves me feeling rather, er, drained for several days afterwards.

Thank you, Sunny, for donating!
