Good Morning everyone hope you all have a happy Monday. to all the new flockers. I had a super busy weekend, got to see my best friend and my godson, and they stayed the weekend here, my godson is 3, and he loved the chickens and ducks , he informed his mommy that he was gonna be a farmer when he grew up
We had babies hatch while they were here so he got to watch a chick hatch, and watch mama lily take care of them. And then he learned real fast you dont try to take the babies away from mommy.

Wild gotta love when youngens fall in love with chickens

Who all is going to the Dec 8 show in Smithfield?

 

[ncchiclady]

tell me more about the show in smithfield!!!

 

[ncchiclady]

we're still researching breeds, any ideas?

 

[ramirezframing]

Well I do sumatras and sliver and golden lakenvelders. The lakenvelders are hard to hatch and keep alive

. But there are several odd or rare breeds. I guess you can say that my silkies and polish are odd breeds also

but you can do a search for rare breeds to find some that you like.
I just know the show is Dec 8 in Smithfield, someone else will have to chime in here

What kind of birds do you have now?

Well my babies are 4 weeks old now ~ is it too cold outside to let them walk around for a little while? I've kept them in the kitchen for 4 weeks, I think they are going stir crazy.

I have one that has become attached to me, Carrie. The exchequer leghorn. She's SO friendly! She roosts on my head, or my shoulder and we clean the house together. Sometimes she snuggles up by my neck, under my hair and falls asleep.
<3 my chicks!

Also, I'm searching for a phoenix ... I've got a few ppl to contact but none really local. Just keeping my eyes open and ears to the ground..

Thanks!

When Kate Middleton goes into labor, the doctor will say "the baby is crowning!" and they'll laugh and laugh... the real question is whether it will be a wizard or a muggle.

diggs where are you? I have phoenix. I have 1 chick now and will set a few more eggs for the New Years Hatch. My rooster is golden duckwing, my hens are BBR & silver. I will get some pics. Hatched them from another BYCer. Stewart Longtails is the farm, here is their BYC profile : https://www.backyardchickens.com/u/70005/onagadori
