Speaking of MUD....

I had figured on bagging some "chicken fertilizer" to sell or swap to my gardening friends....

But, I've got another "idea".....

I'll make me some "forms"....and make "mud-bricks" (adobe).
(I've got PLENTY of MUD !!! )

maybe even get into the "Mud-Pie Business" !!!

Ha-Ha !!!

I have a bunch of Polish roosters that I have been trying to rehome...so they arent great candidates for freezer camp...but I would be happy to help you out by sending them your way...lol Thats the kind of help you needed, right?
My injured hen laid an egg yesterday. I was a bit suprised. She seems to be starting to heal but is sore... no signs of infection yet. The neighbors actually got rid of the offending dog... makes me a bit sad to see him go, but he had a "record" with animal control. They did find him a new home so I hope its not near any of you! Have a beautiful day all!

Omgoodness all of the horses on you site are beautiful!! Silly question I guess but is Iceman an albino? (or whatever the correct term is for horses?)
I think I'm in love with Jetta and the Palominos are beautiful I've always loved palominos! My mother's neighbors have a beautiful Palomino named Golden Boy him and my parents mare sugar like to talk back and forth with each other from their pastures which are only separated by a small road on the back side.
How's the horse business? is that what you do for work? That would be amazing to do what you love as a job!

As for your albino question- horses dont have the genes to be albino

Iceman's color is "perlino" (perlinos and cremellos carry two copies of the creme gene- VERY much like a splash chicken carries two copies of the blue gene). A buckskin is a genetically bay horse with one creme gene, a palmino is a genetically sorrel horse with one creme gene... a perlino is a bay with 2 creme genes, and a cremello is a sorrel with 2 creme genes. If you'd like me to stop there, I shall- but if you'd like to go farther, just tell me! I LOVE genetics!!!

This site has more pics and info about horses with the creme gene...

As for work, and how the horse business is going- Horse prices are rock bottom right now, so it is hard to sell horses, but there is still a market for good broke horses, fast horses, good stallions at stud, lessons, trail rides, and horse training. I do have a part time outside job as a dental aide, but horses are what I live and breathe... I put 100% into them, and i have big aspirations with them.

Blaundee,
If you could possibly want another cockerel you are more than welcome to him,

He is one of the two Garrett black boys. Very fertile. He keeps all of my layers eggs fertile breeding naturally. I just don't need two from the same line. Say the word.
