Her comb is just like my Miss Floppy's. Nice bird.

Do you s'pose Belle is sittin' on her new chick yet?

She will rip your arm off and feed it back to you. She is a bit evil while broody.

Her daughter, the RIR/Cochin broody, did not get the comb flop.

She DID however, get the crazy evil broody gene.

My little silkie broody will dance at you sideways when you walk up to the brooder. She acts tough but is actually sweet.

My bantam cochin broody is probably the nicest one. Her babies are oldest though, so she doesn't really care if you bother them ha ha ha.

Beauty broodies, but I wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley...

 

[NellaBean]

I bet Belle is broodier than ever. She should be nenamed SouthernBroody.

Well, I guess she's making up for us barren babes.

Remember that gameshow where they would say no whamies no whamies no whamies STOP? I can't think of the name of it.

My boyfriend texted me that once......no babies, no babies, no babies STOP. I laughed for days.

My niece is adorable in small doses. If I actually had to take her home and care for her, I might kill myself. Some of us just aren't meant to have children. Good thing there are plenty of others who are good at it

*hugs Belle, Orchy, Lori and Dacs*

*and anyone else i forgot*

No I never saw that gameshow... but I'm glad you and your man are in agreement.

And you are right - some of us were not equipped with the particular device that causes perfectly sane people to adore small, drooly, messy and icky beings that grow up to hate you anyway. I know I will most likely die a lonely death since I'm the youngest, so my sibs will have croaked before me and there will be no children hovering around my bed wanting me to update my will.

Thanks Batty

Miss you like CRAZY!

First: Keep all nice birds! I repeat, Keep all nice birds!!

You never know what the future holds, so keep whatever you like in case you find the appropriate birds to cross it with. In the meantime, no roo will get bored as long as he has girls to tend.

I would put the split male with 1/2 the split females & lav female and keep all lavs.
Put the nice lav male with the other split babes and shoud;n't the results be almost all lavs as well?
That puts the cha-chingers in with your line, right? So throw the best of the chicks back in with a parent (best cock in with mom hens, best hens in with dad).
If you do this you 'should' end up with 4 different breeder pens that throw mostly lavs.

Anyway, that's what I would do if I were breeding for just lavenders. Always keeping a quad of the very best birds to add back into the mix.


Congrats on the rental place. When will you ever have time to move in???!!!???

REgarding your freezebox office, pray for early perimenopause and the nice toasty sessions it apparently involves.

And I know what you mean about the binders and page protectors. Maybe there's a Tyvek type paper for sale out there. Wipe clean. ?

I have accused the guy who keeps turning on the a/c that he must be menopausal. He says he can't wait for me to join him, and that in the meantime I should get a blood transfusion as I am obviously circulatorily impaired...

I cleaned my small space heater, dusted it internally with canned air, and then put it into someone else's office to run for 15 minutes so he'd get the whammy of burning dust stink. When the air was clear, I put it in my office and ran it for 2 hours. It is now a blamy 65 in my office.

I have chicken noodle soup for lunch. Even if I eat the whole can by myself, with crackers and a soda, I'm still under 500 calories.


I am using the book of papers to be stuffed as a pedestal for the papers I am currently working on. I hate stuffing page protectors only marginally less than I like entering driver logs into the computer. I am only 1.5 months behind on the driver's logs. Chub said he'd come back for his maintenace manuals in 8 months....
