New Brahma Group: Blue Partridge x Partridge, Plus Dark

[speckledhen]

That was a cool looking hen. Maybe you would have better luck with a different hatchery. Most of mine die from different things, never any internal laying, or maybe you just had a run of bad luck.

Chickens are a never ending interest due to how you can get hung up on a breed, than the next few years another catches your eye. I never say never with chickens. I used to dislike EE, now I'm becoming obsessed with them. Variety is the spice of life.

I don't have a thick skin, I have a crusty exterior that cracks easily. If some of these people on the internet truly knew how their off handed comments make some feel I would hope most wouldn't do it.

I'm old school, I was taught to always be respectful no matter what I thought or felt, oddly enough from parents that would degrade me without knowing the damage. I still try to be respectful, but at times I get so mad with some interactions. I tend to virtually walk away.

I am always grateful for folks like you that always kind to me and others.

I was exactly the same about EEs and/or Ameraucanas, but love them now. I wish folks would have empathy for others, but they seem to be missing that part of their character. I hope I never act that way.

We let Bash free range this a.m. so I could get photos with a background outside, not inside the barn. I think I got some nice ones!

LOL!! Bash started looking very paranoid in the last couple of pictures! He is like... "Mom....why are you following me around with that thing in your hand?"

He ought to be used to it by now, LOL. He's a good subject! What a stud-muffin, sigh!

I agree...he is TOTALLY a stud-muffin! Have you measured or weighed him?

I measured his height when he was fairly young and he was about 24" tall back then. I have not weighed him yet, though. I'd need to take a scale out to the barn and do the "step-on, step-off, pick up Bash, do it all over again" thing and hope that it would register his weight halfway accurately.

He is the perfect illustration of "Red shoulder - red wing triangle - red saddle feathers" typical of boys of many colors. They stand out well outlined in blue.

I love it with the blue.

Wow.
